December 17, 1956 - December 31, 2024
Michael Allen Jones passed away on December 31, 2024, in Conway, Arkansas. He was born on December 17, 1956, in Dallas, Texas. Michael was a devoted husband, father, and never met a stranger, especially if you asked about his dog.
Michael is survived by his loving wife, Marsha; son, Ethan; stepdaughters, Lindsey Rowland (Jason) and Ashley Missman (Aaron), as well as his grandchildren, Bailey Missman, Dallas Rowland, Landry Rowland, Austin Missman, Lilly Kate Rowland, and Lainey Missman. He is also survived by his sisters, Cyndi Manor (Jerry), Merryl Boggan (Scott), and Karen Jones; brother-in-law, Charles Harp; several nieces and nephews, and his faithful companion, Zeus, his Belgian Malinois.
Michael was preceded in death by his parents, Perry and Jenny Jones, and his grandparents, Ernest and Gladys Jones.
Michael graduated from Searcy High School in Searcy, Arkansas in 1975 and later pursued higher education at The University of Central Arkansas earning a bachelor's degree in political science. He was also a member of Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity during this time at UCA.
Michael had many different occupations throughout his lifetime. He worked at SafeWay, Fast Photo, Wonder Bread, and most recently, North Little Rock Welding.
During his free time, he enjoyed fishing, going to the farmer's market with his wife and their dog, Zeus, trying out new recipes and grilling, crossword puzzles, and was known for having a stronger handshake than Hercules. He also loved spending time with family, especially his grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life will be held on January 24, 2025, at 11:00am, at Conway First Baptist Church. The service will be held in the Children's Worship Center. The entry is on the left of the front porch (facing Robinson St,) of the church. There will be a private burial for the family at a later date.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the American Heart Association in Michael's name.
Michael will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched.

Mike was my friend! We spent a lot of time together working on Jaycee projects for philanthropy! He was reliable, and dependable. We also went on several fishing trips together. Mike was what us guys call a really good guy! That can be interpreted as he was just a really great guy and could get along with everybody. He will be missed and I’m sorry to see my friend go but I’m sure that he’s In a better place. May God‘s grace and mercy be upon his family during this time of grief.

My deepest sympathy and prayers for Mike's family. I worked with Mike at Safeway years ago. He was one of the most kind-hearted, nice guys I ever met. Haven't seen him in a few years, but the last time we saw each other and briefly talked, it was like we never disconnected. His passing makes me sad, but I know that Mike is definitely in a better place. You will be sorely missed ole friend. Rest easy buddy. God Bless.
