Dwayne Elton Jones passed away April 16, 2026, of natural causes near his three sons in his home

Cecile (Ramsey) Jones. Dwayne had two older siblings, Eva (deceased) and Frank deceased. He
had three younger siblings, David (deceased), Jerald (deceased) and Linda.

Dwayne grew up on farm where he learned farming and house moving. He used those skills to
supervise construction of grain elevators and buildings near Hutchinson, Kansas. He met Zona Day
at a skating rink and was married at age twenty. Together they had four sons, Ricky, Randy, Mike
(deceased), and Mark.

His work took them to Denver, Colorado where he supervised the remodeling of Larimer Square in
downtown Denver. He pioneered pre-fab construction of track homes in Denver. He later started Big
Bear Builders in Evergreen Colorado where he met his second wife, a Realtor, (Constance) Joan
(Davidson) (Gilliam). They partnered in custom home construction. He became the step-father of
Mark (deceased), David (deceased), and Laurie (deceased).

Together Dwayne and Joan moved to a farm near Blackfoot, Idaho, where several family members
worked and lived. After longing to be in Texas they moved to San Antonio where they parented their
granddaughters, Nicole (Hilbig) Mayberry (deceased) and Sarah Hilbig. Their mother Laurie had
