Mr. Glenn O'Neal Jones, after "threescore and six" years, took wings and flew into Paradise, from his home, on Monday evening, April 11, 2016.

On July 28, 1949 at Presbyterian Hospital in Muskogee, Oklahoma, a beautiful baby boy arrived to the union of Amos and Lois Louise (Thompson) Jones. He was the third child in this family and they named him Glenn O'Neal Jones. This union was later dissolved.

Frank E. Gardenhire Jr and Lois Louise joined union to rear Glenn and his siblings. Glenn grew up in Muskogee, where he received his education in Muskogee Public Schools and acquired terms of endearment as: Skillet, Doc, Glennie Poo, J Goo and Diapers. Glenn furthered his education to completion in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at Job Corp, where he became a Licensed Welder. He went on to enlist in the US Army and served at Fort Leonard Wood Army Base, Missouri, prior to being medically discharged. Upon returning to Muskogee, Glenn applied his skills for employment at Muskogee Iron Works and Unarco Industries. He also entertained his hobbies as an entrepreneur, as the owner of Mantiques Men Clothing. He was an avid boxer at Douglas Center and youth mentor.

Glenn accepted Christ into his life at an early age and was baptized at Dean's Chapel Baptist Church, where he was a faithful Brotherhood Member until his health failed. He was known for his kind nature and would be quick to help those in need. Glenn resided in Muskogee for much of life, with some time spent in Beaumont, Texas and near Fort Gibson at Four-Mile Branch.

Preceding his death were son Paul Antonio Clarke, spouses Zelma Quintell Clarke, Willie Dean Mayfield and Suree Jones, both parents and four siblings.
