He is survived by his sister, Judy (Ivan) Dardar of Arcola; four nieces, Connie Wilson, Paige Williams, Paylee Ochs and Hillary Sturts; and three nephews, Chris Jones, Patrick Pierce and Paul Sturts.
He was preceded in death by his parents; one brother, Chuck Jones; and a nephew, Tommy Pierce.
Dave retired from Kraft after many years of service. He graduated from Allerton-Broadlands-Longview High School in 1965. Dave loved his nieces and nephews very much and attended all of their sporting events. He was friend to all and was a "superfan" of local high school sports along with being a Heritage and Villa Grove High School coach. There was not a gym in central Illinois that he would walk into without knowing the coaches, referees, local parents, fans and administration. Dave was a avid Corvette fan and collector.
Rest in peace, Dave. You will be missed by many, and now you have a front row seat in heaven!
