Mr. Kelly Frank Jones, age 66, of Livingston, Tennessee, passed away on March 13, 2025, at Cookeville Regional Medical Center. He was born on April 30, 1958, in Wadena, Saskatchewan, Canada, to the late Clifford and Elaine Harris Jones.

A hard worker with a love for life, Kelly spent his days farming, working on old cars, fishing, and hunting. He was a devoted Christian and loved the Lord deeply, always striving to help others in need. His love for animals was evident through his faithful companions, his dogs Bonnie and Clyde, and he never hesitated to stand up for what he believed in, even if it meant arguing to the very end.

Kelly was also a talented cook, a skill that served him well during his time as the owner and operator of The Parkway. He was a man of many hidden qualities, and despite his tough exterior, he had a heart as big as anyone’s.

He is survived by his best friend and ex-wife, Jo Jones of Livingston, TN; his children, Mary Ann Jones and husband Kevin Dell of Saskatchewan, Canada, Kathryn Schultz and husband Tim of Saskatchewan, Canada, and Paul Jones of Saskatchewan, Canada; his stepchildren, Lonnie Witt and wife Tracy of Rickman, Cheri Cantrell and husband Darrell of Rickman, and Billy Witt and wife Bridget of Rickman; grandchildren, Hunter Pederson, Kolton Pederson, Kristopher Pederson, Brezlin Dell, Kendall Dell, Linden Schultz, Sadie Schultz, Addison Schultz, Austin Cantrell and wife Kellie, Tyler Cronk and wife Paige, Roger Witt, Lonnie Witt, Taylor Witt, and Tanner Witt; great-grandchildren, Brayden Steele, Morgen Witt, Jorden Witt, Jaylee Cantrell, and Jett Cantrell; siblings, Bob Jones and wife Lori, Brenda Jones; cousins, Ricky Norberg and Randy Norberg; and special friends, James Bass and Rick Reeder.

In addition to his parents, Kelly was preceded in death by his brother, Ronnie Jones, and his aunt and uncle, Nola and Phil Norberg.

Funeral services for Mr. Kelly Jones will be conducted on Sunday, March 16, 2025, at 1 p.m. from the chapel of Speck Funeral Home, with burial to follow in Fisk Cemetery. Bro. Steven Barlow will officiate.  Family will welcome friends on Saturday, March 15, 2025, from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m., and again on Sunday from 11 a.m. until the time of service.

Pallbearers will be Kevin Dell, Hunter Pederson, Paul Jones, Roger Witt, Lonnie Witt, and Billy Witt.

Kelly’s legacy of hard work, faith, and love will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. He will be dearly missed.
