Dear brother,

It has been a year since you left us and I miss you so much, every day. I hold dear in my heart memories of you and your incredible spirit. I love you, always,

Jen

I just received my Bulletin from Berkshire. No words seem adequate. I've spent the last few days living in the mid-1980s. I lapse between trying to remember the good times -- there are so many -- and tears. Some of the memories are so vivid I can walk into the moment and remember every detail. But many are in bits and pieces now. I want to ask someone about those lost details-- why were we here? what happened then? -- but you're the only one who knows the answers. I so deeply wish you could answer them for me.

My thoughts, prayers and sympathies are with you, Mr. & Mrs. Jones, Jen & Steve. May the love and strength of your family support and comfort you.

We remember lovingly the time David spent with us and our children in Oconomowoc, WI. It was in summer and Dave had business in Madison and we were privileged to host David in our home. Our children loved that time, as did we. We have experienced the pain you are in. God bless you and keep your family close and well. Much love, Jim and Esther Tavares

May beautiful memories warm your hearts and brighten your days. With deep sympathy.

My deepest condolences to the Jones family on David's passing.

He was always a friendly face on the Hamilton hill.

I light this candle remembering Dave's warm smile.

Mr. & Mrs. Jones, Steve & Jen, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Dave, what can I begin to say you were my Big Brother at Hamilton, and I looked up to you more than you will ever know. I felt so honored to be your friend and excited to be around you. You taught me so much and we shared many special times together and I will never forget the time we shared when you visited me in Australia. You were always there for me when I needed you the most. It was just a few short months ago when we spoke and you lifted my spirits up, and got me focused and what is truly important in my life. I will pray for you every waking day and ask for your continued guidance. I love you Dave and may you rest in peace!

Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Steve, and Jen - my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Jonesy,

I just found out about your passing today and just yesterday I played golf with an old hockey buddy, roommate of yours from Berkshire, Jeff Jacobs. We told about 50 stories of the fun we each had with you and I was trying to find your resort website to forward him your contact info when I saw the news.

Thanks for the kindness, friendship, and adventures over the years, from Pledging the house, to rooming together, to Cave Raves, trips to Bucknell and Montclair, getting stuck in the sand on beaches on the Vineyard, lifting weights in Bundy (you are the man), from J term in London,to post college NYC visits, and early visits to Denver after graduation.

I'm sorry I didn't keep in better touch, get a chance to see you more post college or to say goodbye. Peace, YITB, Presch

Jonsey, My old pal. I'm reading these wonderful tributes to you and wishing I had known you as the man you obviously grew to be. We had many laughs, a few hair-raising rides, and built a bond that lasted throughout our college days. Above all else, I remember your generosity to a poor kid from Queens New York. You shared all that you had with me like a brother -- from our very first day together in the fall of 1984. May you rest in peace. YITB, Eric

Our thoughts and prayers are with you David. May you rest in peace

To our beloved son, David Michael Jones. We light this candle to light your way to heaven and to shine on your memory. We know that God took your hand and now you are free of pain. We will miss you so much and love you for eternity. Thank you for all you've done and for all the love you gave us. Love, Mom & Dad

Our family's brief but memorable encounters with David showed us an intelligent, curious and creative man who well-deserved the great pride and love of the Jones clan and the respect of all that he contacted. We wish him peace and serenity and extend our deepest love and support to the Jones family.

John, Mary, Colin Shannon & Dana Corrough

May your spirit rest in peace. YITB

Remember Me

To the living, I am gone.

To the sorrowful, I will never return.

To the angry, I was cheated.

But to the happy, I am at peace.

And to the faithful, I have never left.

I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.

So as you stand upon a shore, gazing at a beautiful sea-remember me.

As you look in awe at a mighty forest and its grand majesty-remember me.

As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity-remember me.

Remember me in your heart, your thoughts your memories of the times we loved, the times we cried, the times we fought, the times we laughed.

For if you always think of me, I will never be gone.

Margaret Mead

May you each find comfort knowing that David has found lasting peace...

I love you so much, whether you are here or not, and I always will. I know that you will always be watching over me and keeping me safe. You were so wonderful and I will always have our countless amazing memories. Rest in peace.

You will be in my heart forever big brother, dear soul, amazing uncle, wise spirit. You guided me to these words and it is my promise to you to honor them as I go on now without you: .."If my parting left a void, then fill it with remembered joy... Be not burdened by deep sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow... Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don't lengthen it now with grief..Lift up your hearts and share with me, God wants me now..He set me free" - Anonymous I will always remember the joy and find the sunshine, I love you, your little sister

A wonderful man and a beautiful spirit who had vision and drive. A true loss to the human race. I will forever remember him and hold him in my heart. Peace to you David.
