Larkin Jones was born November 20, 1946, to the union of his parents, Audie Ruth Boyd Jones and James Edward Jones, Sr., and he passed from this life August 23, 2022 at his home in Urania surrounded by his loving family. Larkin proudly served his country in the U. S. Army in the Cavalry Division. After his time in the service he worked in the oilfield until he retired. He was an avid fisherman but he was also avid in his quest for the perfectly mowed yard. He was a big fan of Bluegrass music. He really enjoyed cooking and having friends and family over to eat. While Larkin enjoyed all these things they were nothing in comparison to the joy he found in spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He adored and loved each and everyone of them. Larkin was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Hilda Marie "Sue" Brooks; and brothers: William Lott "Sambo" Jones, Jerry Jackson Jones, and Harry Joe Jones.

Those left to cherish his memory are his beloved wife, Helen Pontiff Jones; daughters: Lynda Sepulvado (Kenneth, Sr.) and Haylee Doyle (Courtney); sons: Greg Jones (Brenda) and Chad Jones (Debra); brothers: James E. "Pete" Jones, Jr. (Eve) and Floyd Manuel Jones (Vickie); granddaughters: Tessa Jones, Hannah Jones, Emely Swensen (Jimmy), Laken Muse (Wes), Rachel Galvan, Heather Sepulvado, and Eden Claire Doyle; grandsons: Day Jones, Joshua Jones, Michael Jones (Magan), Eddie Jones (Chastity), Zachary Jones, Samuel Jaquess (J.T.), James Williams (Jessica), Kenneth Sepulvado, Jr.; great-grandchildren: Asher Jones, James Jones, Levi Jones, Ryker Jones, Damon Hamilton, Ryder Jones, Emma Swensen, June Swensen, Murphy Swensen, MaKenzie Jones, Emery Swensen, Isabella Williams, Wyatt Williams, and Logan Williams; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
