His parents, Lillian and Willie Lee Jones; brothers, Elmer Jack and Steve Jones; sister, Joan Woodby; several nieces, nephews, lots of close friends and other family members were there to greet him in heaven.

Doyle loved life, playing pranks, Tennessee Football and Washington Redskins Football. He had such a great love for his family and was always willing to help anyone in need. There wasn’t a single person that came into contact with him that he couldn’t make smile. Doyle told each person how much he loved them. He worked in construction and roofing for over forty years. Doyle worked hard to provide for his family.

Those left to cherish his memory include his loving wife of forty-nine years, Evelyn Honeycutt Jones; his son, Chuckie Jones and wife, Zerena; sisters: Janet Byrd and husband, Eddie, Vicki Buchanan and husband, Ricky, Joy Lovette and husband, Ronnie; Doyle’s heaven-sent angels Josh and Corrine Allen, whom he loved dearly; several nieces and nephews also survive.
