David Stewart Jones

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of David Stewart Jones, 65, who left us on March 2, 2025. Born on September 27, 1959, in Halifax County, VA, David lived a life full of passion and dedication in Gastonia, North Carolina.

David was a hard worker in the filter manufacturing industry, but beyond work, he was known for his love of restoring classic cars, particularly his treasured 1970 Chevelle. He found joy in restoring them and spent countless hours in the garage, turning wrenches and creating memories. He was a huge NASCAR fan, and used to race late model dirt track cars, back in the day.

An avid bowler, David enjoyed joining leagues and sharing laughs and good times with friends. He was also a devoted Atlanta Braves fan, never missing a chance to catch a game and cheer on his favorite team. His infectious enthusiasm was a great source of joy to those around him.

Faith played an important role in David's life. In a touching moment, he gave his heart to the Lord and was baptized, by his sister, while in the hospital before his passing.

Left to cherish David's memories are his Fiancée, Jennifer Meek; sons, Shawn Wilson and Jacob Clayton Jones; daughter, Isabella Sigmon; sister, Ellen Jones Looper (Chip); numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

David was preceded in death by his parents, Ernest and Barbara Jones; brothers, James Vernon Jones and Tad Lee Jones.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate David's life at a memorial service to be held on Monday, March 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM at the Greene Funeral Service South Chapel. Prior to the service, there will be a visitation from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, allowing everyone to come together, share stories, and remember the wonderful man David was.

David will be deeply missed but will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
