Anthony P. Jones, “AJ”, 56, of Havertown, PA, passed peacefully on Sunday, June 21, 2020 surrounded by his loving family and friends.  Anthony fought bravely for nine months battling Glioblastoma.  Born on October 15th, 1963 in Darby, PA, he was the son of the Late William R. and Mary Patricia Jones (nee Higgins).  Anthony was a selfless, loving and admirable man. He devoted his life to his family, his friends and his Catholic faith. He lived his life by the phrase “Walk humbly with Jesus.”

Anthony loved spending time with his family. He could often be found at the field or by the court, watching his children’s games and activities. In his spare time, he enjoyed woodworking, gardening and listening to his favorite musician, Bruce Springsteen.  Anthony was a man of many talents, never hesitating to help a friend or neighbor.  He loved visiting Ocean City, NJ, Annapolis, MD and many other destinations to visit his son, Kyle.

Anthony is survived by his beloved wife, Carolyn Jones (nee Thornton), his loving children Kyle Thornton (Elizabeth) and Anthony Jr., Brendan, Shaun, Patrick and Cara Jones. He is also survived by his brothers Michael Jones (Kelly) and Timothy Jones (Megan) and his sister, Mary Lochary (Sean).
