Christopher's obituary
Christopher Jones, 48, of Houston, TX, left us on November 12, 2022 from an apparent heart attack. He was in Memphis at the time of his passing and had spent the preceding hours surrounded by family , laughing, sharing old stories, and reconnecting.
Christopher was predeceased by his mother Eva Jones Campbell, his grandparents Horton and Ruth Adams and Howard and Margaret Jones. He is survived by his loving wife Franchesa Jones, his father Michael Jones, step mother Sandra Jones, sister Margaret Henderson and nephews Cody and Zachary Henderson as well as extended family.
Christopher Marshall Jones was born and raised in Memphis within the Seventh Day Adventist community. It was here he fell in love and later married his wife, Franchesca. He also heard his calling to the ministry which led him to serve across the country. Many accomplishments were achieved through his leadership including a published book.
Chris was a large presence even from a young age usually announcing himself loudly, his standard inside voice. This exuberance paired with his smarts enabled him to excel in his ministry and later as a financial advisor. He was an avid DIYer even before that was a term, taking apart electronics to see how they worked. His disciplined physical training led to the completion of the Ironman twice which includes a 2 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, and 26.2 mile run
Besides God, his other favorites in life were his family, pizza, dogs, testing out new restaurants, bargain shopping, cool technology and gadgets, war movies, 80’s hair band music, and cycling. He had a great ability to connect to people of all ages. His last hours were spent swapping stories with the generation above him to sharing with is nephews his go to password for many years was ChrisisCool.
