It took me all this time to even speak or say something. I just want you to know that when I didn’t have nothing you stepped in. You gave me unbelievable love and compassion. Even becoming my son’s god father. You are the most amazing man I’ve ever met. I will always hear your voice telling me from right from wrong. Always scrolling me when I did something. You were more of a mentor than I could ever known. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for the time you have given me. And thank you for the life lessons you have taught me. I pray you’re resting until God calls you home.
We worked together at Manual Arts High School. He as always positive and friendly with me. This was back in the last century, lol. He was still with Lapd. May he rest in eternal peace.
As a little girl you were my Elvis Presley looking Cousin-crush. Then you became one of my Big Brothers. Always reminding me we ARE FAMILY! Cousin L.J. Jones My heart has not felt such pain since I said so long to my Brother John. For now I heavily grieve with hope, I know we will All be together again some sweet day. There will always be L.J.'s thumbs-up & his wink with swag when I reflect & remember the best of times. In the end God gave me 40 days to care & really know you. Then 1 day to say goodbye. I am honored to have spent that time with you. It wasn't the less quality of life you had in the end; It is the QUALITY IN LIFE that L.J. left for us to have for his life of EXCELLENCE he shared with us. Thank you for being FAMILY, for holding dear to your heart of your upbringing & remembering where you came from & becoming one of our Heroes! Your legacy has given our Family Heritage value & profound Greatness! Rest in Heaven my dear Cousin.❤️

LJ changed my life. He took me under his wings and guided me to the adventure of my life. Throughout my career with LAPD and beyond, he kept a watchful eye over me and my family. I am deeply moved by his passing but he will forever be my Big Brother.
My sincere condolence to the family of my long time friend, co-worker and workout partner up until his health prevented LJ from our six mile walks three times per week. I will always my friend friend L.J. Jones. May he rest in peace.
Uncle L.J. was always a positive force and source of inspiration to everyone he touched.
He recently drove me and his son (Anthony) around Los Angeles and showed us everything related to our parents history in the city, including each house they all lived in in the 1970"s . He was just that kind of warm and giving person.
God Bless his entire family you have my condolences.

My dear cousin. How should I begin? I guess our childhood comes to mind. We saw the Jones every Sunday from midday until midnight. The thing I remember most was our creative ways of having a LOT... while having NOTHING. We had lots of love and care in what seems like a brotherly bond. I Will remember how you and John played cowboy with the toy pistol on your sides. “Andy Over” was one of our made up games we all played together with just an ordinary ball tossed over the house. What about “tug of war”? Everyone wanted to be on Ella’s back because she was not going to lose. After we grew up and came back home The “Leg” is the dance you introduced us to. What fun! I could go on but I’ll leave something for others to REMEMBER. Love you cousin. RIL.
