November 2nd, 1963 - January 11th, 2025
Mark Jones passed away peacefully at Southlake Regional Health Centre on January 11, 2025, at the age of 61.
Born in Birmingham, England, he was the son of Barbara Farnell and the late Cyril Jones. Mark often moved from place to place in his younger years, but later settled in Newmarket, Ontario, where his top priority was raising his daughters and caring for his family. In his free time, he liked to keep up with the news and learn more about history and how things work. He loved to travel, explore the world, and engage in adrenaline-filled activities, especially with his daughters. He worked as a millwright for 30 years at Magna International, and before his passing, he worked at Kemflo Canada Inc.
He will be greatly missed by his wife, Alma (maiden name Cunanan), his daughters, Annamarie and Kyla, and their beloved dog, Teddy. He also leaves behind his mother Barbara, his brothers Lyn (spouse Jackie), Geoff (spouse JinJin), and Andy, as well as nephews Evan, Liam and Rowan, and niece Maisie.
Mark was a hard-working, generous, kind man who always had a smile on his face and a joke to share. In his 61 years of life, he faced many obstacles. However, Mark was never one to complain about his trials and tribulations as he always remained optimistic. He was an incredibly selfless man who was not only a phenomenal family member and friend but also a wonderful stranger. He was warm and friendly to everyone he met, and regardless of how close someone was to him, he never hesitated to help others. He was truly a virtuous soul and is an inspiration to everyone who has had the pleasure of meeting him.
There are not enough positive words to describe how good of a person Mark was. He will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him. His friends and family’s hearts are broken, but they take solace in knowing he is at peace. His family thanks everyone for the outpouring of support, love, and generosity.
