Obituary For Michael Gordon Jones

Virginia Beach - December 3, 2024, the family of Michael Jones lost their complex, generous and loving “rock”!

Preceded in death by his parents, Wilber and Arline Jones, his younger brother, Jimmy Jones and his first love, wife Patsy Jones, he is survived by his last love, wife Deb Stull, daughters Donna Herr (Gina & Sasha) and Melinda Popkin (Steve & Jack Connally), older brother Bill Jones (Gayle), extended family of nephews, nieces, in-laws and his lifelong friends.

Michael loved his family, but his love for music carried him throughout his life. From singing in the Church Choir, to forming his own bands, Snuff and Street Talk, - local bands infamous in the 70s and 80s, Michael took a leap of faith in 1983 and joined forces with Kathie Moore and Cellar Door. Eventually, they formed their own music production company, More Music Group. A long list of agents sprang from his mentoring and guidance in the music industry. He was proud of his 40-years relationship with Fest Events in Norfolk. College towns and festivals throughout the States were better for his involvement.

Michael would jokingly say, “the best song of the night was the last song.” Our dear beloved Michael, the last song has been sung, and we hope its melody brings peace to all blessed to have known your love!

There will be a private internment of his ashes at a later date where he will be laid to rest by his beloved Patsy.
