Cory Edward Jones, 46, the son of LeRoy A. Jones and Patricia A. (Anderson) Jones, was born Sept. 17, 1975, in Concordia, and died Nov. 18, at the Blue Valley Lutheran Nursing Home, Hebron.

Cory received his education with the Region V Services in Belleville, and Hebron. For the past several years, he had made his home at the Blue Valley Lutheran Nursing Homes in Hebron.

Cory’s greatest love was his family. His greatest gift to anyone he came into contact with was his smile. Cory enjoyed being out in God’s creations: going for walks, watching the trees change, watching the clouds before a thunderstorm and watching it snow.

He was preceded in death by his parents: LeRoy in September of 2016 and Patricia in November of 2016, and one brother, Jeff in June of 2014.

Cory is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Travis Winn (Becky) of Hebron, Mrs. Todd Mumm (Cindy) of Bertrand; and one brother, Rick Jones of Edgerton, Ohio.

A graveside service will be held at 2 p.m., Friday, at the Farmington Cemetery, rural Cuba.

Bachelor-Surber Funeral Home, Belleville, is in charge of the arrangements.
