Robert Edward Jones, beloved son, father, grandfather, and friend, who left us on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at Phelps Health in Rolla Missouri. He was 70 years old.

Bobb was a proud sibling, part of a large family that included his brothers George, Ivan, Richard, Jim, and Delbert Jones, as well as his sister Carolyn Roberts. They all preceded him in death, leaving memories and stories.

Born to the late Earnest and Opal Davidson Jones, he is survived by his children, Robert D. Jones and his wife, Jamie residing in St. James MO., and Andrew O. Jones of Rolla MO. Bobb also leaves behind 4 grandchildren, and the mother of his children Sandra Atchison Jones, also of St. James MO.

Originally from the Sullivan area , Bobb made a lasting impact on his community. In his young adult life He often shared his passion for music and the arts by playing in classic rock bands as both lead guitar and vocals. He even once played in the largest concert at the time in Missouri at that time. Later he would go on to write music and record demo tapes, showcasing his creativity and talents. In addition to his musical achievements, Bobb had a profound appreciation for sketching and painting, which would later help him to enter his career at Paramount Cap, which is where he would work until retirement. Bobb loved to paint children's cartoons and would do so for the remainder of his life.

Bobb spent the remainder of his days at Ferndale nursing home. He grew up in the vibrant 1960's era when he and his brother George worked for local drive in theater, so that they could afford their massive album collection, which reflected Bobbs love for music and the joy it brings to life.

Robert Edward Jones will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He leaves behind a legacy of artistry and inspiration that will continue to resonate in the hearts of family and friends. In this time of loss, let us celebrate his life and the indelible mark he made on our lives.

A memorial service will be held Saturday December 13, 2025 at the First Baptist Church in St. James, Missouri from 2 to 4 p.m to honor Bobb and his remarkable life. Instead of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made to any local music education charity. A fitting tribute to the passion Bobb shared with the world.
