John “JR” Robert Jones

August 29, 1978 - October 1, 2018

John “JR” Robert Jones, Jr., 40, a lifelong Cape Coral, FL resident, passed away Monday, October 1, 2018 in Cape Coral. He was born August 29, 1978 in Fort Myers, FL.

JR was of the Pentecostal faith. He was a high-school basketball coach who stayed in touch with his players long after they left his teams. Working with and training his players was so important to him. JR was an accomplished athlete himself, that never stopped playing basketball. He was a friend to all and a light to many people. He was always there to lend a hand or support to others no matter what was going on. JR truly found purpose in helping others reach their goals in life, whatever that might be. He will be remembered as the best son, brother, uncle, teacher, coach, and friend for all the joy he spread. His smile, contagious laugh, and crazy sense of humor will never be forgotten.

He is survived by his loving parents, John and Darlene Jones, Sr. of Cape Coral; brother, Greg Callen (Sara) of Cape Coral; niece, Grace, and nephew, Jackson; a host of friends; as well as Chaz, his Pitbull.
