Preceding Boom in death were his parents, and brother, David S. Jones.
Boom worked as a welder most of his life, but he finished his working career at NTN Bowers in Macomb as a machine operator. Boom never knew a stranger. He would always be there to help anyone, if they needed it. He was a man of his word. He was also known as the life of the party & loved to joke around. Boom was one of kind. His greatest blessings were his grandchildren. His famous saying was “Our door is always open, make yourself at home”. Boom was of the Christian faith, and a true family man & his love for God was so big. He will be greatly missed by his loving family and many others, but at the end of the day in his famous words, “If you can’t be good, be good at it”.
Per Boom’s wishes, cremation rites will be accorded, and a celebration of life gathering will be held on Saturday, October 26, 2024 at the Cuba American Legion. (Times- TBD) Memorials can be made to Boom’s family to help with funeral expenses. To leave online condolences please visit www.sedgwickfuneralhomes.com
