Michael Greene Jones Obituary
It is with great sadness we announce the death of Michael Greene Jones (Sylvester, Ga), 83, who passed away on January 19, 2023 at Early Memorial Nursing Home in Blakely, Ga.
There will be a private celebration of his life for close friends and family on a date to be announced in the near future on his Facebook page.
Michael (Mike) was born in Tacoma, Washington on June 5, 1941. He worked many years at Toledo Scales in Albany, Ga and Southern Scale Company in Athens, Ga. He returned back to Sylvester, Ga where he later worked as a motorcycle mechanic at Tifton Cycles. He was an excellent mechanic and enjoyed showing off his knowledge and skills to the younger generations. He loved racing motorcycles in just about any type of event (Motocross, Hare Scrambles, Road Racing, Drag Racing) and restoring cars. Mike always enjoyed spending time outdoors (shooting guns, archery, hunting, fishing, motorcycle riding) with friends, had a real gift in the way he interacted with animals and enjoyed just about anything technical.
He is survived by his wife Irene Hyatt Jones, his son Michael Jones Jr. (Athens, Ga) and daughters Carie Wisell (Albany, Ga), Shannon Hagle (Leander, Tx) and Alin Mohammad (Athens, Ga).
He was preceded by his daughter Cathie Anne Jones in 1975 (Albany, Ga) and both his parents.
In Lieu of flowers, the family asks people to make a donation in Mike's honor to the Best Friends Humane Society in Worth County to pass on his and his family's love for animals.
The family would appreciate messages and stories you may like to share about Mike on the memorial page of "Michael Greene Jones" to pay him a last tribute.
