Obituary

  Ronny Mack Jones, 60, of Venus, Texas passed away on January 21, 2019 at his home. Ronny was born on March 13, 1958, in Borger, Texas to Horace & Kay Jones. He was part of the graduating class of 1976 from Nimitz High School in Irving. He married Diana Jones on May 25, 2002 and were together until her passing. Professionally he was known for his proficiency with pool maintenance, but his first love was automobiles and motorcycles; he could make anything with an engine run. He was active in the North Texas motorcycle community.  A mainstay for the “Big Texas Toy Run”, he was also head of security of the local Abate organization for some events and serving one term as coordinator. Ronny is survived by his daughter; Sandi Hastings and her husband Jason of Euless Tx, two grandchildren; Denis Pitt and his wife Kathya of Dallas TX, and Donovan Pitt of Round Rock TX, three great-grandchildren; Kadenn and Adelene Pitt, and Aliyah Montano; father, Horace Jones of Irving TX, siblings; Terri Bennett and her husband Harold of Grand Prairie TX, and Billy “Randy” Jones and his wife Anna of Modesto, California, many cousins, nephews and nieces. Not to mention the abundance of friends that he considered family. He is preceded in death by his loving wife, Diana Jones; and mother, Kay Jones. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, February 2, 2019, from 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm at the Aria Irving Chapel. A reception will be immediately after the service at the Irving Elks Lodge from 5:00 pm-7:00 pm

    I have so many memories of you while I was growing up with Sandi. You and your larger than life white German Shepherd, Cruiser. I’ll never forget you making us laugh when you would poke your head in Sandi’s room and make silly faces at us. When you would yell at us to keep it down in the middle of the night because we were loud, annoying girls. You will be very missed, but I’m glad you are reunited with your wife and Mom again. Now you are healthy and at peace.

    Even though I haven’t seen very much his is still like a brother to me always extending a helping hand. I was constantly over his house working on motorcycles or his 67 camaro or my 69 mustang. He loved his daughter very much and I know he loved his parents so much. We did everything together for 5 yrs constantly and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for anyone. Such an awesome person and was a family name in my household. Till we meet again old friend.

    My prayers are with Sandi and Horace and the rest of the family. Losing a loved one is the most difficult thing I’ve ever dealt with. The only piece I have in this loss is that I know Kay has her baby with her now. I miss Kay terribly and I know they are taliking about everyone here. I’m sure Horace is really getting it right now. Positive thoughts for everyone in the tough days ahead.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
