Kenneth W. Jones, age 93 of Crown Point, IN, formerly of Lansing, IL, left this world on August 25, 2026. He is survived by two loving children: Dawn (Michael) Wright and Steve (Raellen) Jones; five cherished grandchildren: Brian Wright and Lisa Wright (Jim Sutton), Bill Jones (Tim St. Pierre), Jaclyn (John) Aylmer, and Kaitlin (Corey) Beatty; five great grandchildren: Wyatt Jones, Blakely, Colton, and Weston Beatty, and Charlotte Aylmer, and many nieces and nephews. Ken was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Dawn Marie; parents, Morris and Elizabeth Jones, son, William Jones (Jean Jones), sister, Dolores (late Bud) Holm, sisters-in-law, Gerry (late Ed) Curtis, Dot Chase, Lolly Cistaro, Kay (late Bob) Finn; and brothers-in-law Ray (late Betty) Gibson, Bob (late Helen) Gibson, and Tom Gibson.

Funeral services for Ken will be held on Monday, August 31, 2026 at 12:00 noon at the Schroeder-Lauer Funeral Home, 3227 Ridge Rd., Lansing, IL. He will be laid to rest next to his beloved wife in Oak Glen Cemetery in Lansing. Friends are invited to visit with Ken’s family on Monday August 31 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon. In lieu of flowers, donations in Ken’s name may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.

After his stint in the Army, Ken spent the next 31 years at AT&T and its subsidiaries as an installer, from which he retired in 1983. Ever the conversationalist, he reveled in holding lively get-togethers in the kitchen where family and friends would congregate. The door to their Lansing home was always open (especially the garage door). He enjoyed fishing and taking care of all the flowers in his yard. But his main joy in life was spending days with the love of his life, Dawn Marie.

We would like to thank the loving staff at Crown Point Health Campus and Ignite Medical for the loving support and care they gave Ken during his stays at their assisted living facilities.
