Obituary for CARL EUGENE JONES
Carl Eugene Jones Sr. (Carl Gene) was born on June 19, 1946 to Wesley C. Jones and Myrtle A. Jones at Calvert Memorial Hospital in Prince Frederick, Maryland. He was educated in Calvert County Public Schools, graduating from Brooks High School at the age of 17. Shortly thereafter, he enrolled in the United States Army, where he would later serve in the Vietnam War. He received the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal with 2 Bronze Stars. He was awarded the Vietnam Campaign Medal with Device. He also received the Marksman (M14) Army Commendation Medal, the Bronze Star Medal with Victory Device, 2 O/S Bars and last but certainly not least, the honorable Purple Heart. After completion of his tour of duty in Vietnam, he obtained his CDL license and would prove to be a Jack of All Trades!
Carl Gene married the love of his life, Peggie Jones on September 5, 1987. He was baptized in the name of Jesus at Saint Edmonds United Methodist Church in Chesapeake Beach, Maryland.
Carl Gene was truly a joy to be around. He was very selfless and would give you his last, whatever your needs were. His passion for cars was undeniable! His favorite pastime was watching wrestling, and old western TV shows while chewing on his favorite snack, Beef Jerky. He would joking exclaim ''I'm the baddest Cowboy in Calvert County!!" And Oh! Let us not forget his homeboy Homer Simpson. If you ever needed to catch up on an episode of, The Simpsons, Carl was your guy. He loved nothing more than sitting back, laughing and spending time with his family. Overall Carl Gene, better known to his grandchildren as "Pop Pop," was an amazingly Awesome Man!
Softly and tenderly God called Carl Gene to his eternal resting place on Thursday, July 20, 2017 at around 5 a.m. He passed away peacefully at home in his bed. Family members stood at his bedside after he made his transition to be with his Heavenly Father.
Carl Gene leaves to cherish his memories to his wife of 30 years Peggie M. Jones; four kids Donna L. Jones, John A. Quade, Carl E. (Robin) Jones Jr., and Michael T. (Alyce) Morsell Sr.; Sisters, Thelma (Jimmy) Barnett and Gloratine (Robert) Jackson,; Grandchildren, Sherdonna L. Brooks, Sharina E. Brooks, Shawn D. Brooks, Shane E.
