Edward Lewis Jones' Obituary
Edward “Eddie” Jones, a devoted father, grandfather, brother, and friend, entered his heavenly rest December 17, 2025. Born December 21, 1963, in Raleigh, North Carolina, he later moved to Washington, DC, where he attended Kramer Junior High and Anacostia Senior High. Eddie found his calling as a Professional Floor and Tile Installer, becoming known for his strong work ethic, skilled craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to detail. Beyond his daily work, he generously used his talents to help family, friends, and countless others—turning many clients into lifelong friends. He took great pride in every job and was known for going above and beyond in everything he touched.
Beyond his work, Eddie was a devoted father, grandfather, brother, and friend who cherished every moment with his family. From taking the kids to parks and carnivals in their younger years to enjoying football games, drone flying, and family dinners more recently, he found true joy in being with his children and grandchildren. A fighter to the very end, he faced his illness with remarkable strength, determination, and grace—doing far more than doctors ever expected. Eddie’s integrity, kindness, and generosity touched everyone who knew him, and his presence will be deeply missed.
Edward was preceded in death by his parents, Mary and Lattie Jones, Sr., his daughter Renarda Bulter and his sister, Anna Taylor.
