Kevin Lance Jones

January 10, 1982 - February 21, 2017

Kevin Lance Jones (35) of Provo, Utah returned home to the loving arms of our father in Heaven on February 21, 2017. Kevin passed away unexpectedly due to health complications. He was surrounded with love and care. Kevin made his entrance into this world on January 10, 1982. His mother Beverly Ann Belnap and father Lance Kevin Jones were excited to welcome him to their family. While growing up, Kevin had big dreams of becoming an NBA all-star. He often played basketball with his school friends and he let his little sister tag along and taught her some skills. He was a great big brother. He was one of the best basketball players in his school. Each time we play basketball, we will remember our "NBA" player. Kevin attended high-school until his Jr year. He began to face many life's unfortunate challenges at that time. One blessing to him was welcoming his son Skyler Jordan Jones into the world with Skyler’s mother Marquita Lopez, fifteen years ago. He loved his son, and wish he had more time and a closer relationship with him. In his early twenties, Kevin was diagnosed with mental illnesses that caused him to face more challenges. No matter the challenges, Kev would always find a way to laugh and smile about something. His laugh was infectious and made everyone around him happier. Kevin enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He liked to draw, listen to music, watch movies, play card games, enjoy family activities and laugh. He was a loving father, son, brother, uncle, nephew and of course friend to everyone he met! He would give his stuff to others who needed it more, or just because he wanted to show them he cared. Kevin is preceded in death by his grandfathers: Bryan W. Belnap, Jay E. Henrie, and Fred Foley. And his sweet angel Aunt Bonnie Miller (Dave Miller). Kevin is survived by his Mother Beverly A. Belnap Jones, his father Lance K Jones. Sister: Anna M Larson (Thomas A Larson). Son: Skyler J. Jones. Nephews/Nieces: Riley, Blake, (his little buddies). Kynzley and Emlyn. Grandmothers: Darlene H.B. Foley & Ila F. Henrie, and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. We will miss you deeply, our big buddy and teddy bear. We love you Kev, forever and up to Heaven. Till we meet again.  Graveside Services will be held Saturday, March 4th, time TBD, at East Lawn Memorial Hills Cemetery and a celebration of life/luncheon for family and friends will be held in Provo Utah.
