William James Jones

May 26, 1950 - January 25, 2021

Mr. William James Jones affectionally known as “Bill” or “Bad Bill Bunion”.

Visitation will be Saturday 2-4 p.m. at Lee-Sykes Funeral Home of Columbus He left Columbus, MS around the age of 18 and moved to the delta region of Mississippi where he worked as a supervisor on a cotton & soy bean farm. He did this for 2 decades and then he moved to Rochester, NY where he worked for Klein Steal as a metal machine material handler. This is the last job he held and he retired from this company after 20 plus years. After retiring from this company he returned to his hometown of Columbus, MS to be closer to his elderly mother and 3 siblings. Bill was an outgoing person who was well liked in the neighborhood where he never met a stranger! His greatest accomplishment was when he accepted Christ as his personal Savior later in life and was baptized & joined the Community Wide Outreach Ministry. He was a faithful member and participated in whatever activities that was going on at the church. William James Jones was preceded in death by his loving mother Annie Bell Jones and Jessie James Jones, as well as, his loving sisters Annie Mae Williams & Louella Jones. He leaves to mourn his passing Betty Dell Jones, Polly Ann McCrary, Jessie Mae Jones, Robert Louis Jones, and Nora Bell Jones along with a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
