Tommy “Buddy” Jones born July 28th 1965 the youngest  child of Johnie Jones Sr. and Annie Jones. Buddy attended Rogers Elementary, Arsenal Middle school and  Peabody High School, later receiving a Brick Mason Certificate from a technical/trade center. Buddy was very well known around the neighborhood, mostly for helping people, going to the store for the older people in the neighborhood. Buddy was always smiling and dancing. There was never a dull moment when he was around he was full of laughter and fun. He was always the life of the party. Buddy’s love for life, music and people was unmatched. He lived a remarkable life on his own terms and by his own rules. Buddy, who received his nickname from a neighbor whose son suffered from Spina Bifida, Tommy would play cards and board games on the porch with him since he was unable to play with the other children. When he would see Tommy he would yell out excitingly “here comes my friend, here comes my BUDDY!!! The name stayed with him  and was very fitting of his character, demeanor and personality. Buddy was a very loving, helpful person and friend with a heart like no other.
