Jonsey was always down to dress up or cook out. Larger than life and so chill, he was always making us laugh.
My favorite memories will always be when he went on a new diet. He would get so goofy and excited about it! But then would come around asking to smell my food lol. How he would walk two+ hours to work during PRT season and ask us to join him in the 5:30, 85 degree Fallon sun. And how he would tell me about Mrs. Jones´ closet.
Thanks for all the dad advise buddy and I´m sorry I forgot to get you bourbon from Louisiana.
Condolences and prayers to the Jones family.

I met 'Big Nate' through my husband while they were stationed in Fallon, Nv. He quickly became like family through many dinners, spades nights, and get togethers. We knew him for his big heart - he was always willing to give, help, or just be there for a special occasion. Our family is praying for peace and comfort over you in these unthinkable times. 'Big nate' will forever live in our hearts.
