Thomas "Tommy" Jones, 83, of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully on July 11, 2025, surrounded by loved ones.
Tommy was born on November 12, 1941, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, to Thomas and Dorthea Jones. He grew up in the Bartlesville area and graduated from Dewey High School in 1961. He later attended Ark City Community College. After college he entered into the military.
Following his military service, Tommy returned to his hometown and began working at Reda Pump which later renamed Schlumberger, where he dedicated many years before retiring in 2002.
Tommy had a passion for the outdoors and a special love for his greyhounds, which he trained for field trialing-a hobby that brought him much joy and pride. He also enjoyed spending time at the casino, where he loved playing the slot machines and soaking in the excitement.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Joyce Jones; his daughters, Cindy L. Jones and Michelle Schneider; his grandchildren, Joshua, Matthew, Brandt, and Jonathan; and his brothers, Richard Jones and Ralph Jones. He also leaves behind several beloved sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins, and many dear friends.
Tommy was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Dorthea Jones; his son, Thomas Gregory Jones; his sisters, Mary Gilmore and Gerri Feeler; his sister-in-law Carol Jones; and his grandparents, Gracie and Sylvester Jones.
Tommy will be remembered for his strong work ethic, his love of family, his quiet sense of humor, and the kindness he showed to everyone he met. His legacy will live on through the many lives he touched.
At this time there will be no viewing or services per Tommy's request.
A memorial service will be held at a later date for close family and friends.
