Obituary For Mr. Seaborn Jones
Mr. Seaborn Lee Jones, affectionately known as "C-Bone" by his family and friends, passed away on May 22, 2026. He was born on March 19, 1948, in Rochester, New York, to the late Albert Jones Sr. and Cora Ijames.
Mr. Jones was preceded in death by his lovely wife, Willie Marie Payne Jones; three brothers, Albert Jones, Jr., Nathanial Jones and Norrell Moore; his granddaughter, Jasmine Steele; and his great-grandson, Jaden Payne.
C-Bone moved to High Point, NC, at an early age and attended Guilford County Schools. He was an outgoing person who cherished his family, particularly during gatherings. He enjoyed playing bingo and going fishing. Known as the life of the party, he loved telling jokes and making people laugh. His warm presence left a lasting impression, and he will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
He fought a good fight; he finished his course. God saw he was getting tired and called him home.
Those left to cherish his loving memories are: two daughters, Bessie Payne and Sherry Payne; a bonus daughter, Altine Payne; son, Tony Jones; grandchildren, Montrell Payne, Meghan Jones, Mykia Williams, Darricka Ingram, Ti-ashia Gantt, Tatum Jones, Jessica (Taddeus) Bethea, and Veronica Payne; eighteen great grandchildren; brothers, James (Carol ) Jones and Cecil Moore; sister, Bessie Davis; sisters-in-law, Gerldine Robbins, Williette Jones, Katie Pratt, Beatrice Anthony, Carnay Burris and Sherry Payne; brothers-in-law, Jody (Virginia) Payne and Frank Charles; special cousin, Bessie Ann Richardson; several nieces and nephews other family members and friends.

I've known this family since I was about nine years old. Words cannot express how saddened I am to hear that Mr. Jones has passed away. I grew up with his children. I knew his wife very well. This family was considered our extended family because my Uncle dated his sister in law over 20 years. Mr. Jones always made us laugh with his outgoing personality. Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones, you will be missed.
