Joe Wayne Jones of Scotland, Arkansas was born on December 30, 1940 in Scotland, Arkansas to the late Johnnie and Ester (Blue) Jones and peacefully passed from this life on January 14, 2024 at his home in Scotland. He was the last survivor of his siblings, leaving behind a great legacy of faith in Christ. Joe was deeply loved and greatly respected by all who knew him.

He was reunited in Heaven by his granddaughter, Brianna Jones; his parents and siblings, Olen J. Jones, Wanda Sue Meeks, Mary Lou Hanks and Addie Rue Sowell.

Joe graduated from Scotland High School and served in the Army for a short time as a medic. He was a faithful member and deacon of the Scotland Baptist Church. It was there, in the 'old church' that Joe gave his life to Jesus at the tender age of 16. He pursued many interests in his life; however, the Lord was always first and foremost, followed closely by his love for family and farming. Joe was a good example of what a loving husband and dad should be. He loved Jesus and enjoyed telling people about Him. Anyone who knew Joe knew that his wife, children, daughters-in-law and grandchildren meant the world to him. One of Joe's greatest accomplishments was passing his passion and love for Jesus on to his family. He enjoyed get-togethers with his family, fish fries, Thanksgiving and Christmas. These were just a few of his favorite meals. Joe was also a prolific poet. He has honored many of his family and friends with poems of tribute upon their passing. Everything about Joe always circled back to his being a good Christian man.
