In Loving Memory of Levell Jones Jr.
Sunrise May 29, 1938 – July 28, 2025 Sunset
With heavy hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of Levell Jones Jr., in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on July 28, 2025.
Born in Jasper County, Mississippi, Levell moved to Minnesota at age 21, seeking new opportunities. He dedicated 50 years of service to Old Dutch Foods, where he was known for his perfect attendance, quiet strength and commitment.
Family was always at the heart of Levell’s life. In 1964, he married Laura Louise Evans. Together, they built a loving home and raised two children. He was also a devoted father to his eldest son, born during a previous relationship, and cherished all three of his children deeply.
After retiring in 2009, Levell remained active in his community, founding the popular bid whist group at Sabathani Community Center in 2016. He was a provider, protector, and friend to many. His wisdom, generosity, and unwavering support touched countless lives.
He is survived by his wife, Laura; his children; grandchildren; and a host of extended family and friends who will carry forward his legacy of love and resilience.
Levell’s celebration of life takes place on Friday, August 15, 2025, at Greater Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, located at 2600 E. 38th St, Minneapolis, MN 55406.
