Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Larry Wayne Jones was a beloved father, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend whose life touched all who knew him. Born on August 7, 1960, to Lurana Oliver and Willie Jones, Sr., he treasured his family, held his faith close, and created memories that will be cherished forever.
Larry was preceded in death by his mother Lurana Williams, and William J. Williams.
One of the greatest blessings in Larry’s life was his beloved daughter Laryssia Jones, whom he loved dearly. Their special bond will remain an important part of his legacy, and their love will continue to live on in Laryssia’s heart.
Larry enjoyed playing golf, watching sports, fishing and spending time at the casino. He also shared wisdom, life lessons, and encouragement with his nieces, nephews, and family, offering guidance to help them learn, grow, and make the most of every opportunity.
Throughout his working life, Larry dedicated himself to serving others. He worked for Women and Children First in Arkansas before returning to Kansas City, where he continued his career with the Belton School District.
Above all, Larry had a relationship with God, and his faith was an important part of his life. His loved ones can find comfort in God’s promises and in the hope and peace that faith provides.
Larry leaves to cherish his memory his father Willie D. Jones, Sr. (Georgia Jones); his beloved daughter Laryssia Jones; siblings Willie Jones, Jr; Valerie Winfield; Darrell Jones; and Demetruis Jones (Emily Jones). He also leaved cherished nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and dear friends.
Larry’s kindness, wisdom, and joyful spirit will continue to inspire his family. The precious moments they shared will be treasured always.
Rest peacefully, Larry Wayne Jones. Your earthly journey has ended, but your love, wisdom, and memory will live on. May you rest in God’s eternal peace.

The family gratefully acknowledges every expression of love, kindness, prayers, calls, cards, visits, and support shown during this time of bereavement. Your compassion has brought comfort and strength.
I only knew Mr. Larry when we worked at Grace together one summer, but in the short amount of time I knew him, he brought so much laughter to my life! He was full on joy and jokes and always had a smile on his face. He was a wonderful person to be around.
May the Larry Jones Family find peace and comfort in Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Pastor Willie and Missionary Georgia Jones, Valerie Winfield and the entire Family, please know that the Malvern District of Arkansas First Jurisdiction will keep you all before the Lord in prayer. May the God of peace provide abundant comfort to you all as only He can.
We, the Leaders and Members of House of Refuge International Ministries, “The House KC,” wish to express our heartfelt and sincere sympathy in the homegoing of your beloved one, Larry Jones. We extend our hearts and prayers as you, with the strength of the Lord, endure such a monumental loss. Know that God loves you unfailingly, and it is the same love that has ushered Brother Larry into his everlasting care.
We have His assurance that the ultimate end is not death, yet eternal life. The life lived is a testament to one who will spend eternity joyously praising God. We, in return, send such praises to the father for a life well lived. We know the real journey begins after today. We assign ourselves as a sign of earthly consolation to uplift our fellow family in christ. We are with you not only in heart but also indeed. Be also assured that we are upholding you fervently in prayer and stand ready to aid however possible.
We may not have adequate words, yet we have a connection with the word, God our comforter. May God, your refuge, be a shelter and hiding place. May His strength be boundless. We pray that you find joy like a river and peace that gloriously surpasses all understanding.
For he heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds,Psalms 34:18. May you ever find him near, wiping every tear from your eyes, Revelation 21:4.
Graciously submitted,
Pastor Lauren Johnson Sr and The House KC family
