We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Michael Jones Jr., who was born on December 30, 1985 in Rochester, New York, United States. He was the son of Michael Jones, brother of Rachael Jones and Jeaneen Waddell, and had many nieces and nephews.

He touched the lives of many with his warm smile and kind heart. Michael had no children of his own, but his presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Tragically, Michael Jones Jr. passed away on February 4, 2026, due to suicide. His untimely death has left a void in the hearts of his loved ones, friends, and community. Michael’s passing is a devastating reminder of how important it is to care for one another and to speak openly about mental health, especially within our families and communities. We are grateful for any support and for everyone who keeps his memory alive. Thank you for helping us honor Michael and for standing with us in this time of need.

May we remember Michael for the joy and love he brought into our lives and may he rest in peace.
