Kelly Lamont Jones

Kelly Lamont “Moon” Jones, 57, of Sandusky, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Thursday, November 5, 2026, after a long illness.

Born on January 26, 1969, Kelly was the youngest child born to Charles E. and Gloria W. Jones. Raised in Sandusky, Ohio, he graduated from Sandusky High School in 1986 before proudly enlisting in the United States Air Force. Kelly served his country honorably during Operation Desert Storm, an experience that helped shape the man he became. The values he gained through military service, hard work, responsibility, strength, and perseverance, stayed with him throughout his life and were reflected in the way he cared for his family and friends.

During his years of service, Kelly was stationed in several locations, including San Antonio, Texas, where he created many lasting memories. Following his honorable discharge, he and his family returned from San Angelo, Texas, to his beloved hometown of Sandusky. There, he worked for Ford Motor Company and later as a prep cook at Applebee’s Bar & Grill until he developed health issues.

Kelly had a deep appreciation for life's simple pleasures. He loved fishing, spending time at the shooting range, and cooking on the grill. However, nothing brought him greater joy than being surrounded by the people he loved. Family and friends were at the center of his life, and he made it a priority to stay connected with them. His presence, loyalty, sense of humor, and willingness to help others made him someone people could always count on. Kelly shared a particularly close bond with his family and often spent time with them daily, cherishing every opportunity to be together.

He leaves to honor his memory his sons, Bryce Allen Jones and Jordan Michael Jones; beloved sister, Rochelle Wooten, with whom he shared an especially close relationship; brother-in-law, Elijah Wooten, Jr., whom Kelly considered a brother because of their strong and enduring bond; his brothers, Charles A. “Mannie” Jones and Timothy E. Jones, whom he lovingly helped care for; his nieces, Janeaya Y. Jones, LaToya Diaz-Jones, Jessica C. Jones, E’Leesha D. Wooten, and Gabrielle E. Jones; his nephews, Christopher Jones, Adam Diaz, Aaron Jones-Wooten, Anthonee Jones, and Jacob Jones; dearly loved ones, Alicia Webb, and her daughter, Naciere Webb; and his great-nephew, Robert L. Bagley III, with whom he shared a very special and cherished relationship.

Kelly also leaves behind many great-nieces and great-nephews who held a special place in his heart. Among them was his great-great-niece, Kylah Kasai Arrington, whom he loved beyond measure and brought him endless joy. He is also survived by a host of extended family members and dear friends whose lives were enriched by his love, friendship, and unwavering support.

Kelly was preceded in death by his parents, Charles E. Jones and Gloria W. Jones; his sisters, Candace Y. Jones and Tryna R. Jones-Bagley; his life partner, Andrea Webb; and his nephew, Robert L. Bagley, Jr., whom he helped raise and loved as his own.

Though Kelly's passing leaves a tremendous void, his memory will live on through the countless lives he touched, the love he gave so freely, and the family and friends who will forever carry him in their hearts.

A Memorial Service for Kelly will be held on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 1:00PM at Brown-Robinson Funeral Home, 1814 Milan Rd, Sandusky OH 44870.
