We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Barry Robert Jones. He was the proud father of Michael (Nora) and Sarah (Ryan) and was overjoyed to be the grandpa of Lily, Asher, Eli, and Evelyn. The brother of Dianne (Randy) and loving uncle to Corey and Brendan, and grand-uncle to Kingsley. Barry was devoted to his beloved partner Frank. Barry is predeceased by his parents, Robert Edward Jones, and Joan Constance Jesshope, and his oldest sister Linda (Jones) Burton.

A faithful father, grandfather, and friend, Barry cared for his family and communities through generous acts of service. Following in his father’s footsteps he was involved in Scouting, becoming Area Commissioner in Scarborough and eventually receiving the high honour of Silver Acorn. Barry volunteered his time with Mennonite Disaster Service, traveling to the United States on numerous occasions to assist communities in rebuilding after tragedy. In 2022, Barry received his Bachelor of Arts degree from York University - an accomplishment that brought him much pride. Barry volunteered his time on numerous boards and committees, including Welcome the Stranger, helping to resettle refugee families here in the GTA. He will be dearly missed. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.
