Charles David Jones, age 65, a resident of Dawn, Missouri, passed away on Tuesday, June 8, 2021, at North Kansas City Hospital, North Kansas City, Missouri.

Charles David competed in Track and Field at Missouri Western State College for two years and obtained a degree in agriculture. Even while Charles David was attending college, he was farming with his dad. He was thrilled when his son Tyler joined the operation and enjoyed including his son-in-law Dylan a few years ago. Charles David proudly served the agriculture industry and the Dawn community on a number of boards and organizations. He served 18 years on the Southwest School Board. He was a member of Calvary Baptist Church.
Charles David was a hard worker and thoroughly enjoyed farming with his family and sharing stories of past generations. Charles David loved feeding cattle, especially when he had someone to open gates for him. He truly enjoyed being around people and his laugh was contagious. Hosting family and friends was one of Charles David's greatest pleasures, but his absolute pride and joy came from his three grandchildren.
Survivors include his wife, Sherry Jones of the home; son, Tyler Jones and daughter-in-law, Caitlin of Dawn; and daughter, Meredith and son-in-law, Dylan Lange of Dawn. He will be greatly missed by his three grandchildren, Collins and Colter Lange, and Leo Jones.
