Obituary For Dassie Melvin Jones

Dassie Melvin Jones entered into eternal rest on January 5th, 2024. He was born May 15, 1947, in Willow Springs, NC to the late Sir Walter Jones and the late Amanda Geneva Gordon Jones.

In addition to his parents, Melvin was preceded in death by his sister Janette Watkins, and grandson Domonique Lennon. Melvin is survived by his loving wife of twenty years Lianying Jones; 6 children(Tonya, Niecy, Melvin Jr (Skeet), Corey, Erin, and Kevin); 13 grandchildren; and 7 great-grandchildren.

Siblings: Walter Jr, Elijah, Loretta, and Debrow. In addition, Melvin is mourned by a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends all of whom were touched by his presence and influence.

Melvin’s love of family reached beyond his immediate family. He loved his Jones family deeply, showing up for all family reunions, celebrations, cookouts, or just phone calls to say hi. Melvin would find a relative in every city or town he visited. Known for his gift of gab, Melvin never met a stranger and talked to everyone he met. By the end of the conversation, he would be related to the person or know someone they were related to. His legacy will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him, and his memory will be cherished by family, friends, and colleagues alike.

Visitation: 1:00 - 4:00 pm Wednesday, January 17, 2024, at Trice Funeral Home Chapel, 127 N. West Street in Fuquay-Varina, NC 27526.

Viewing: 10:00 - 10:30 am Thursday, January 18, 2024, at Faith Missionary Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC 27603.

Interment: Eastern Carolina State Veteran's Cemetery, 164 Longs Plant Farm Road in Goldsboro, NC 27534.

You have my condolences. Wilma and James Hunter

On my commute to work this morning, at a stoplight, I looked over and saw the Trice Funeral Home hearse that was transporting Mr. Jones to his Celebration of Life service in Raleigh and saw the flag draped over the coffin. I immediately saluted him and thanked him for his dedicated service whatever that may have been as I did not know at the time. It fell on my heart immediately to find his obituary and read about this precious man. Although I did not know Mr. Jones or the family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all today. May God provide you peace and comfort in the days ahead. TFranks

A HERO'S WELCOME FOR THE ONES WE HAVE LOST Time to come home dear brother your tour duty through You've given as much as anyone Could be expected to do

just a few steps further The smoke will start to clear Others here will guide you You have no need to fear

You have not failed your brothers you clearly gave it your all And through your actions selfless Others will hear the call

So take your Place of Honor Among those who have gone before And know you will be Remembered For Now And Evermore.

MY FAMILY My family I know you are hurting with sorrow deep and true: I wish that there was something I could do for you. To simply say I'm sorry just doesn't seem to be Enough to adequately express my heart felt sympathy. Night has fallen on your heart and cast a shadow long! your world is changed forever you can't believe dear. He is gone. You lost a family member who was loved like all the rest; A loyal,loving companion who always gave his best. But time will heal your broken heart though it may take a while; sweet memories will replace the loss you'll think of Him and smile. He's crossed the Rainbow Bridge, my family and will never be alone; He's care free and contented now in his new celestial home.

ON THE BEHALF OF DEACON WALTER AND DEACONESS ALBERTA JONES. I MR. BERNICE AND MRS. MAGALENE DAVID REPRESENT THESE POEMS IN HONOR TO MR. DASSIE M. JONES.

I AM LEARNING HOW TO LIVE

I am learning how to live In a new way Since that day You were taken away.

I am learning how to live With the things left unsaid Knowing I got to say them With every tear that I shed.

I am learning how to live By embracing the pain Knowing that you live on Through the memories that remain.

I am learning how to live Knowing I will never again see your face And I have peace knowing You're in a better place.

I am learning how to live Knowing You're in GOD'S CARE It gives me the strength to move on And makes the pain much easier to bear.

To my cousin. Always your cousin Iris Johnson Watson.

My deepest condolences.

Mr. Melvin was a singer. He loved to sing, "If I could touch the hem of his garment," and enjoyed hearing him sing it. To the Jones Family, "weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning. Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal." Mr. Melvin have now touch the hem of his garment and have been made whole again. May God Bless each of you.
