Anthony P. Jones, “AJ”, 56, of Havertown, PA, passed peacefully on Sunday, June 21, 2020 surrounded by his loving family and friends.  Anthony fought bravely for nine months battling Glioblastoma.  Born on October 15th, 1963 in Darby, PA, he was the son of the Late William R. and Mary Patricia Jones (nee Higgins).  Anthony was a selfless, loving and admirable man.

In his spare time, he enjoyed woodworking, gardening and listening to his favorite musician, Bruce Springsteen.  Anthony was a man of many talents, never hesitating to help a friend or neighbor.  He loved visiting Ocean City, NJ, Annapolis, MD and many other destinations to visit his son, Kyle.

Anthony is survived by his beloved wife, Carolyn Jones (nee Thornton), his loving children Kyle Thornton (Elizabeth) and Anthony Jr., Brendan, Shaun, Patrick and Cara Jones. He is also survived by his brothers Michael Jones (Kelly) and Timothy Jones (Megan) and his sister, Mary Lochary (Sean).
