Obituary of Jerome Joshua Joseph Jones

With broken hearts the family of Jerome Jones of Saint John announce his untimely passing which occurred on Sunday, October 17, 2021 at the Saint John Regional Hospital at the age of 18.  Born on January 20, 2003 in Saint John, he was the precious son of Kelly Jones of Saint John and the late Troy Grant.

Jerome was an old soul who will be lovingly remembered for his big smile and for his ability to make everyone laugh.  He loved hanging out with his friends and would do anything for anyone.  Jerome enjoyed listening to music, taekwondo (where he won several medals), he had a great curiosity for history and science, was a straight A student and most importantly he took pride in always protecting his mother and brother.  He will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him.

In addition to his loving mother, Kelly, he will be lovingly remembered by his siblings, Brayden, Austin, Mya and Karter; maternal grandmother, Gale Jones; maternal grandfather, Roy Jones (Sherry); paternal grandparents; Donnie Grant (Yvonne Theriault); aunts, Bonny Jones (Kenny) and Bernice Grant; uncles, Troy Jones and Lawrence Grant; special cousins, Destiny, Marcus and Angel; best friend, Keshawn Middleton; along with other members of his extended family and several friends.
