Mr. James Edward Jones passed away on Thursday, May 22, 2025, at his home with his loving wife by his side. Born in Tallulah, Louisiana on July 2, 1956, to Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Jones, Jug spent his childhood in Madison Parish where he graduated from Tallulah High School in 1974 and then continued his education at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, Louisiana. He returned to Madison Parish where he spent the next forty-four years as the Safety and Environmental Director for Complex Chemicals. 

Jug was a believer in the Lord and served others through numerous community service endeavors with The Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks Lodge 95 in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Mr. Jones achieved all levels of the order, “he set all the chairs,” and resumed his position as a member of the lodge. In addition, Mr. Jones loved the outdoors and was a devoted fan of the LSU Fighting Tigers.

Jug is survived by his wife Andrea of Delta, Louisiana; daughter April Coody of Tallulah, Louisiana; stepdaughter Michaela Tarver (Thomas) of Vicksburg, Mississippi; granddaughter Kimber Bauer of Tallulah, Louisiana; siblings Mary Ann Vining of Minden, Louisiana; Alice Carson of Delhi, Louisiana; Edith Mitchell of Madison, Mississippi; and numerous nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents, stepfather Roy Lee Allen, his oldest sister Louise Glass all from Tallulah, Louisiana as well as Billy Ray Jones of Decatur, Texas.

The celebration of life honoring Jug will be held Sunday, June 1, 2025, at 2:00 at Mound Baptist Church with Brother Steve Hillman officiating. Memorials honoring Jug may be made to Elks National Foundation Lodge 95.
