John's Story

Cleveland, Ohio - John D. Jones, warmly known as Butch, was born on November 18, 1946, in Cleveland, Ohio, and passed away peacefully. As a lifelong resident of Cleveland, he was the cherished son of John H.

In his role as a father, John is survived by his children, Sonya Blythewood, Tamika Jones, and Micaela Hicks, and stepchildren Ariel Hicks and Quinton Hicks. His daughter Teranique Ticks preceded him in passing. John was a proud grandfather to Marvin, Tiara, Da'Jonae, Devin, Ja'shon, Jasmine, Elijah, and Noah.
