Mr. Vernon meant so much to the family of Loyd Jones. Loyd worked for True Value Hardware and Vernon was always there helping people and doing whatever it took to take care of their needs. Loyd often spoke of his friendship and respect for Mr. Vernon. Kyle, and Randy Jones also worked with him and always spoke so highly of him. Mr. Vernon was kind, a hard worker, loved his family, was dependable, and had some great stories to tell! He and his great smile will be missed… May God comfort the family during this time……Pat Jones (Pat Sloan of Daingerfield)
May the Lord keep you near Him forever, Rest well Vernon.
