He was born October 20,1958, the son of William and Thelma Jones in Okolona, MS. He later moved with his family to Kalamazoo, MI, where attended Kalamazoo Public Schools. He was employed at Edison Public Schools in Janitorial/Maintenance and also assisted with serving the children at lunch time. Eddie also worked at the Boys & Girls Club in Janitorial/Maintenance. While working there he would also bring lunches or supplies to the children at camp. Eddie worked at several bingo halls for over 30 years until he became ill. Eddie enjoyed listening to music, especially the Blues, while playing his “air guitar”. He also enjoyed playing cards with friends and family, shooting pool (which he was extremely good at!) and going to the casino. He loved animals and one of his past-times was watching and feeding the squirrels and birds. Eddie liked to have yard sales and he enjoyed his daily routine of thrifting trips to Goodwill. He was an easy-going person, who was very generous. He also LOVED food! When he would eat a meal, and it seemed like less than an hour later he was hungry again! Anyone who came to visit, he would ask them if they would they like something to eat. He was always concerned that no one go hungry. He was genuine in his feelings so if he was angry with you, he may tell you off, but was easy to forgive and make you laugh or smile later. He will be greatly missed by family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Thelma Jones; brothers, William Jr., Harvey and RC Jones; sisters, Ida and Mae Louise and Sara Lynn. He leaves to cherish his memories, one brother, Holitan Jones; 2 sisters, Viola White and Delmar Jones all of Kalamazoo; He also leaves behind his beloved children, Tanji Johnson, Trevor and Megan Jones, Cagle and Tyrus Ackerman all of Kalamazoo; Grace and Gregory Jones of Battle Creek, MI; long-long companion, Pamela Martin and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends..
