Dustin Wesley Jones

December 18, 2019

Dustin Wesley Jones, 40, of Greenfield Missouri, ascended into Heaven on Tuesday, December 17, 2019 surrounded by family. He was born on December 8, 1979 to Kim and Lesia Jones.

Dustin was saved at Bennett Spring Church camp and became a baptized believer on July 31, 1994 at Dilday Mill and is a current member at Arcola Christian Church.

Dustin recently celebrated his 40th birthday and was showered with over 400 birthday cards from friends and family.

He graduated high school from Everton, Missouri, in 1998. By 1999 he was working hard to become a lineman with City Utilities of Springfield, Missouri.

In May 2005, he married his wife, Melinda (Shouse) Jones and together they built a family and a ranch that would make anyone proud. They were blessed with three wonderful kids, William 18, Wade 12, and Chloe 11.

Additional survivors include his parents Kim and Lesia Jones of Everton; his father and mother in-law, Roy and Gerri Torres; paternal grandmother, Carol Jones; maternal grandmother, Betty Vandegrift; grandmother Wilma Steele; brother, Jacob and wife, Abby Jones; sister, Kelbey and husband, Asa Bowles; sisters in-law: Melissa and husband, Trevon Ogden, Amanda and Jeremy Mincks and Angie and husband, Robbie Freeze. Dustin is survived by a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, and nieces.
Dustin is blessed with friends so close his family consider them family. They cannot all be named as they are too numerous, but they know who they are.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, John Jones and his maternal grandfather, Bobby Vandegrift.

Dustin also leaves behind the most fantastic place of employment, City Utilities of Springfield, Missouri. He also had the best work buddies a guy could ever want. They have blessed his family beyond measure time and time again and continue to do so today.

Last, Dustin fought a very courageous battle these past five years. Numerous times he was overwhelmed with support from his church, his hometown community, and his work buddies. Repeatedly, they surprised with compassion and blessings that no person on earth has ever experienced before, except Dusty.

“From the very bottom of my heart, I thank each and every person that ever did a kind deed or said a prayer for my husband,” says Melinda Jones.

In lieu of flowers, please send a contribution to the Greenfield Youth Athletic Association, the Greenfield High School Booster Club, or the Elementary Student Council, per the request of his wife and kids. Thank you.
