Ocal Paul Jones Jr. was born on April 12, 1947, in San Antonio, Texas to Ocal
Paul Jones Sr. and Pauline (Leppo) Jones. He passed away on October 5, 2026, in
Sherman, Texas at the age of 79.
He was known by those who loved him as a steady presence, a proud veteran, and a man of many interests. He served his country honorably as a Captain in the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War, a chapter of his life that reflected his sense of duty and commitment to something greater than himself. His military service remained an important part of his identity throughout his life. Following his service, he received a BBA from Southeastern Oklahoma State University and eventually built a career in real estate, working as an agent with several brokers in Tennessee. He enjoyed collecting old guns, coins, and comic books, pursuits that reflected both his appreciation for history and his enjoyment of the unique and memorable. These collections were more than hobbies to him, as they were a source of interest, conversation, and personal enjoyment over the years.
He was preceded in death by his parents: Ocal Sr. and Pauline Jones; brother: Dr. Thomas Jones; and nephew: Forrest Jones.
Ocal Jr. is survived by his brother: Dr. William Jones and spouse Linda of Council Bluffs, IA; sister: Rev. Lynda Powell and spouse JR of Edmond, OK; nieces and nephews: Autumn Bevills, Candace Glynn and spouse Martin, Cassandra Richerson and spouse Steve, Justin Jones, and Joseph Belle and spouse Courtney; eight great nieces and nephews, as well as numerous cousins.
