Tommy C. Jones
ODESSA - Tommy C. “Uncle” Jones, 67, of Odessa passed away Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2002, in Odessa. Tommy was born Jan. 3, 1935, in Brock to Charlie and Violet Jones who preceded him in death.
He graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso in 1958 and was the owner of Tommy’s Trim Shop for many years. Tommy never married
but adored his niece and nephew and their children. “Uncle” will be terribly missed by them.
He is survived by his sister, Carol Steveson and husband Don; nephew, Fritz Purifoy; niece, Allana Athans and husband James; great-nephews, Clint, Mason and Grant; and great-nieces, Rylee and Kira.
Sadly, Tommy was detained as a criminal when indeed his problem was a mental illness that he had suffered from for many years. Our hearts go out to others who might have a family member in this same situation, as it is devastating.
Your pain is over, Tommy. Sleep peacefully. We love you.
Graveside services will be held at 2 p.m. Friday, Feb. 15, 2002, at Sunset Memorial Gardens.
Services entrusted to Hubbard-Kelly Funeral Home.
