Obituary for MICHAEL GILBERT JONES
Michael Gilbert Jones, 66, of Owings, Maryland died August 14, 2017 at Anne Arundel Medical Center after a brief history of medical problems.
He was born to the late Gilbert Jones and Doris Franklin-Jones on March 30, 1951 in Calvert County, Maryland.
Mikey, as he was affectionately known to family, graduated from Calvert Senior High School and joined the United States Army from 1971 – 1977. He worked in construction for Local #74, State Highway during snow., S R Smith Contractors and Strohecker, Inc.
He was also known as “Big Mike” to his friends. He enjoyed hanging out with the guys; whether they were just sitting around playing cards in the basement, out on the boat fishing or rabbit hunting.
Although Mikey acted and talked tough, he had a HEART of GOLD. But when he said NO he meant it. Boy, was he stubborn at times. If Mike had to take a long trip, you best believe you were leaving in the dark of morning and returning in the light of morning the same morning.
His favorite saying was “I’m Serious”.
He is survived by siblings: Ronald, Brenda, Karen and Kevin Jones, Marietta Gray and James Powell; brother-in-law: Thomas Gray, Jr.; uncles: Donald and Edgar Franklin; god-daughter: Taliyah Dargin; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He also leaves “His Day One Boys”: Halston Jones, Jesse Holland, Sr., Bob Adams, James Holland, William Lake, Harold Smith, Leonard Jones, and Dwayne Jones.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his siblings: Patricia Chandler and Vaughn Jones.
