St. George, Utah - Walter Vern Jones, a devoted husband, loving father, grandfather, and a faithful servant of God, passed away peacefully on September 2, 2025, just two days after the love of his life Norene Ranae Jones. Their reunion in heaven is a tender reminder of the deep and abiding love they shared throughout their lives.

Walter had a deep strength of unwavering faith, he was gentle and kind and will leave a lasting impression on all who knew him. He lived his life in service to others- never seeking a lot of recognition but always offering help to those around him. To be in Walt’s presence was to feel valued, respected and truly seen.

He had a remarkable ability to make everyone feel important. Whether through a sincere conversation, thoughtful act of kindness, or simply his calm, reassuring presence, Walter lifted those around him and inspired others to live with great love and purpose.

A lifelong disciple of Christ, Walt served faithfully in many church callings, and was known for his integrity, humility, and great leadership. His life was a testament to the power of faith in all things.

Walt is survived by two children, Peggy Ogzewalla and her husband Roger, and Bruce Jones; and many grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Ranae; three brothers; two sons, Donald Jones, and Eugene Jones; and two grandsons: Taylor Jones, and Joseph Levie.
