Casey Howard Jones was born in Macon, Mississippi  January 17, 1971 to Gilbert Hunter Jones and the late Jacqueline Janelle Waddell Gentry. Casey attended Central Academy. He worked as a mechanic and owned and operated Jones Towing, where he gained the reputation for going the extra mile to help his customers. Casey was never too busy to not stay and wait until family members arrived before leaving a scene. There was not anything he would not do for his fellow man. Casey enjoyed meeting and talking to people, but he also enjoyed listening to other people’s stories as well.  He was also employed with Macon Electric and Water Department and was a member of Calvary Baptist Church. Casey’s passions were racing cars, motorcycle riding and hunting. He was so very proud of his son, Hunter, and the person he is becoming.

Casey is survived by his wife, Dawn Jones;  son, Hunter Jones; daughter, Angie White; one grandchild;  father, Gilbert Jones; siblings: James (Melody) Jones, Jackie Montgomery (Randy Smith); Frankie (Nicole) Jones and Stephen (Melissa) Jones.
