Ronald "Ron" Felt Jones, 87, passed away peacefully at home in Cedar City, Utah, surrounded by his loving family on July 8, 2025.
Ron was born on February 9, 1938, in Cedar City, Utah, to Thornton and Selma Jones. He was the second youngest of six children and remained deeply rooted in his hometown throughout his life.
Ron had a passion for the outdoors and enjoyed hunting, riding four-wheelers in the mountains, and restoring old cars. He proudly served his country in the Army National Guard.
On July 11, 1959, Ron married his wife, Juaneta Stapley, in the St. George Temple. Together, they built a beautiful life and were blessed with three sons and one stillborn son.
A skilled electrician, Ron owned and operated Ron's Electric, where he worked alongside his sons and completed electrical work for countless homes and businesses in the area. Even in retirement, Ron loved to stay busy-he could often be found woodworking in his shop, going shooting, or working on his next project.
Ron was preceded in death by his wife Juaneta, his parents, all of his siblings, his infant son Michael, and his infant grandson Dakota.
He is survived by his sons: Dallas (Bonnie) Jones, Craig (Carol) Jones, and Curtis (Nicole) Jones, as well as 14 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren, all of whom will miss him dearly.
A graveside service will be held in his honor on Saturday, July 12, 2025 at 11:00 am at the Cedar City Cemetery. Final arrangements are under the direction of Southern Utah Mortuary. To share online condolences, please visit www.mortuary.org.

Dear Dallas and Bonnie and Jones family,

I learned of Ron's passing this morning (7/15) and immediately felt the loss of a very dear friend. When we moved to Cedar from California, we began building homes. I got a bid from Ron, visited with him just a few minutes and felt I could trust him and that he was qualified to do a good job. I never required another bid....I just gave him some plans to work from. I knew he would be fair in price and he always did superb work. We built many homes together in the Cedar area. After a divorce, there were no more homes to build but Ron and I kept in touch which always brought smiles and good visits. He and Juaneta were my dear friends and now I will have the happy memories to make my heart smile!!

Remember I love you,

Glenda
