| Corbet Jones | ||
| WHEREAS, Family and friends are mourning the loss of Corbet | ||
| Nicholos Jones of Broaddus, who passed away on October 23, 2023, | ||
| at the age of 73; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The son of Charlie and Reba Jones, Corbet Jones | ||
| was born on July 22, 1950, in Center and grew up in Broaddus | ||
| with five siblings, Charlene, Kenneth, Nelda, Robert, and | ||
| Isaac; he graduated from high school in 1968 and enlisted in | ||
| the U.S. Army; following his training at Fort Polk in | ||
| Louisiana, he received orders to ship to Vietnam, but because | ||
| his older brother was already serving in the war there, he was | ||
| assigned instead to a hardship tour, guarding the | ||
| demilitarized zone at Camp Paine, Korea; he advanced to the | ||
| rank of gunner and received his honorable discharge in 1974, | ||
| after also completing reserve duty; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Jones worked as an electrician and he was | ||
| employed with family members in a number of businesses, including | ||
| a tire shop and a pipeline construction company; he was also a | ||
| trucker for many years and contracted with a number of different | ||
| companies before retiring in 2018; in his leisure time, he | ||
| enjoyed hunting and fishing; and | ||
| WHEREAS, On May 16, 1973, Mr. Jones married Margie Bryan in | ||
| a ceremony held in Pineland; they raised two sons, Shane and | ||
| Chad, and through the years, they were further blessed with four | ||
| grandchildren, Matthew, Carson, Connor, and Ashlyn, who were his | ||
| pride and joy; devoted to his family, Mr. Jones was especially | ||
| close to his sister, Charlene, and her husband, Nat, whom he | ||
| called his "second dad"; he was sustained by a strong faith from | ||
| an early age; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Although Corbet Jones will be deeply missed, he | ||
| has left his family and friends with a wealth of memories that | ||
| they will forever treasure; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
| Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life | ||
| of Corbet Nicholos Jones and extend sincere condolences to the | ||
| members of his family: to his wife, Margie Bryan Jones; to his | ||
| sons, Shane Bryan and his wife, Kimberly, and Chad Jones and his | ||
| wife, Wendy; to his grandsons, Matthew Bryan, Carson Jones, and | ||
| Connor Jones; to his granddaughter, Ashlyn Bryan; to his | ||
| brothers, Kenneth Jones and his wife, Emma, and Isaac Jones and | ||
| his wife, Julie; to his sister, Charlene Willey, and her husband, | ||
| Nathaniel; to his sisters-in-law, Jeannie Williams and her | ||
| husband, Jimmy, and Gloria Purvis; and to his many other | ||
| relatives and friends; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
| prepared for his family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns | ||
| this day, it do so in memory of Corbet Jones. | ||
