James Peter Jones, at the age of 87 years, passed away peacefully at the Brockville

General Hospital on Saturday, July14, 2018.

Beloved husband of Dorothy. Survived by son, Peter of Toronto, ON and

grandson, Peter Michael Jones also of Toronto, ON.

Born in Lethbridge Alberta, James Peter Jones joined the RCMP and wore the

red serge and Stetson before answering God's call to the ministry. He met

his wife Dorothy while studying in Montreal. They have two sons, David and

Peter. After service in pulpit ministry in several prominent Presbyterian

churches, he and Dorothy moved to Brockville and James Peter became

assistant to their son David at First Presbyterian. He served as pastoral

and visitation minister. Daily he made home and hospital visits to offer a

spiritual dimension to shut-ins throughout the area. His prayer and comfort

eased the distress and discouragement of many of our members.

At funerals, he took time to understand the loss and personal grief of the

survivors. His pulpit ministry was extraordinarily meaningful with his deep

understanding of theology and commitment to life in Christ. His contribution

to the life of First Presbyterian Church in Brockville is enormous and his

continued presence as a congregant and advisor is much needed as the church

is restored and reborn under a new minister.

Family and friends are invited to a celebration of James Peter's life at

First Presbyterian Church, 10 Church Street, Brockville on Saturday July 21,

2018 at 1:30 pm. Arrangements are entrusted to the Irvine Funeral Home, 4 James St. E., Brockville.
