Douglas Bryant Jones' Obituary
Douglas Bryant Jones was born July 29, 1988 in Mountain View, California, the son of Kibbie and Melissa Jones. He was 29 years at the time of his passing.Doug was the oldest child and leaves behind 5 siblings; Russell Jones and his wife Elaine and their three children, brothers Cody Jones, Nicholas Jones and Matthew Jones and his sister Jillian Jones.Doug was an amazing, kind-hearted and loving man. He befriended many and judged no one. Douglas loved sports and played baseball, football and soccer. He was a hard worker and was loved by everybody he met. Doug was a terrific student throughout his academic career, graduating from Dunbar High School in Fort Myers, Florida and subsequently enrolling at Florida Gulf Coast University. He loved music and enjoyed sharing this passion and his knowledge of many other topics as only the oldest brother could. He was a man who truly enjoyed giving and sharing blessings with so many and recently renewed his faith in God. He met his soulmate Jen T. several years ago and he will be deeply missed by her and by the many other people he met along life’s pathway who were proud to know him and call him a friend.Doug lives in peace now and is a warrior-angel to all of those he loved. We will miss him with all of our hearts, and we know he would want you to be comforted by the following words:-“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time. Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace. Taking, as he did, the sinful world as it is, not as I would have it. Trusting that he will make all things right if I surrender to His will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever.”A Celebration of Life for Doug will be conducted at 10:00 am on Saturday, December 30, 2017 at the Cornerstone Family Church, 2925 Canoe Creek Road, St. Cloud, Florida 34772.
