Michael Dennis Jones, 69 years old of Yuma, AZ, passed away suddenly in
the early morning of November 21, 2022. Mike suffered a severe heart
attack doing what he loved hauling a load of hay in his favorite baby
blue Peterbilt.

Mike was born in Brawley, CA in 1953 and spent much of his life in the
Imperial Valley.

In 2011, Mike and Linda, his wife of 19 years, moved to Yuma, AZ. Mike
was a man with an acute attention to detail, and he carried a deep sense
of pride in his work. He enjoyed camping, Jeeping, and hunting, and
spent more time on these hobbies in his semi-retirement. If you knew
Mike, you know he didn't sit still for too long. He enjoyed picking up
hay jobs or trucking trips as part of his semi-retirement. He always
said he would work until his last days, and he did just that. As a
lifelong trucker, hauling hay and being a part of the local trucking
communities was an integral part of him. Above all, Mike loved his
family. He was kind, generous, and always just authentically himself.

Mike leaves behind his wife, Linda, his 4 children, Steven, Kristie,
Desi, and Stacey. He also leaves behind 6 grandchildren and 1 great
granddaughter.

The funeral services for Mike Jones will be held on Saturday, December
10th 2022 in Yuma, AZ at 12pm

at Freedom Baptist Church. Immediately following services will be a
Celebration of Life held at RV World Truck Shop.
