Dan's Obituary

"An angel in the book of life wrote down our baby's birth and whispered as she closed the book, 'Too Beautiful for Earth.’” - author unknown Our handsome, miracle, baby boy, Daniel Mark Jones returned home peacefully to the arms of his Father in Heaven on May 19, 2011. He was in the company of his loving parents, Tyler and Lindsay Jones, and close family as he closed his eyes and moved on to the next life. Dan was born April 14, 2011 with a special heart. His five minute life expectancy turned into five miraculous weeks. Dan blessed the lives of his family, friends and total strangers. His life story has touched so many and his memories will live on inside each of the hearts he touched. His strength, courage, and bravery will forever inspire us all as we travel through life's challenges. Dan loved being held and spent most of his life in the arms of loved ones. Dan spent many nights in the arms of his amazing, loving grandparents, Mark and Karen Jones and Pama and Daniel Wynn. He loved going on walks in his stroller, watching soccer with his dad, and spending long hours in his mommy's arms as she cuddled and kissed him. Dan was adored by his aunts and uncle, Daylan and Rilee Jones, Shirley Cussimanio (Susu), and Chelsie and Nash Montoya. Dan is now in the company of loving great grandparents, Lyle and Lorraine Wynn, Robert and Carol Tingen, and Charles "Toy" Atwood. He will be missed by remaining great grandparents, Jill Abrahams Jones, Gayle Atwood and William and Jackie Jones.
