May 31, 2026, at the age of 72. Born on September 10, 1953, in Philipsburg, PA, he was the
son of George R. and Irene (Holobinko) Jones. Tim lived a life rooted in a strong work ethic. He

daughter, Kara Lee Jones; his granddaughter; Reese Lynn Jones; his son, Ryan Michael Jones;
and his father-in-law, William “Bill” Hurley.
Tim was a man who found happiness in the simple things in life. He enjoyed hunting,
fishing, riding ATVs, and exploring in his Jeep. He enjoyed time spent with family and friends.
Tim was well known as someone you could count on. Above all else, Tim was devoted to his
family. He took great pride in those he loved, including his loyal dog Libby. Tim will be
remembered for his kind heart, quiet strength, and steady presence. The love he shared, the
lessons he taught, and the memories he created will remain in the hearts of his family and
friends for years to come.
