Along with his playful nature, CJ Jones was a fierce protector and provider for his family. He took pride in the development of his construction company, J2 Homes, working alongside his brother, at one time, and his son, at another.
In the later years of his life, CJ served two missions with his sweetheart in Charleston, West Virginia and Laie, Hawaii. He created community wherever he went with his infectious smile, laughter, and curiosity.
