Stuart would have
kept this short because,
“obituaries cost money.”
He died suddenly while
on his morning walk with
Mary.
He was born in Newark,
NJ, Friday July 13, 1945. Shortly thereafter he moved
with his parents, Ismon and Ida Jones to Mendon, MI,
where he thrived on Jones Road. He graduated from
Mendon High School, Michigan State University,
received a master’s degree from Michigan State, and
his law degree from University of Michigan. He worked
as a Prosecuting Attorney in Saginaw, MI, where
he met his wife, Mary Sommerfeld. They moved to
Grand Junction, CO in 1982. He worked at the District
Attorney’s office prior to setting up in private practice.
He was the Attorney for the Mesa County Child Support
Unit, a group of people he admired.
Stuart’s passions were Michigan State basketball,
golf, his cat, Scottie, and traveling to Europe with Mary.
Preceded in death by parents, Ismon and Ida Jones, and
brother Frank Jones, he is survived by his wife, Mary;
sister, Sue Jones; niece, Katie Del Castillo; brother-inlaw, John Sommerfeld; niece, Karen Sommerfeld, and
bitey, Scottie.
In lieu of flowers, what would Stuart want? For MSU
to win the NCAA? For all his golfing buddies to sink
a hole in one? For someone to think critically? For
someone to diagram a sentence properly? How about
donations to CLAWS, 2214 Sanford Dr. A5, Grand
Junction, CO 81505.
