Farmerville, Louisiana – The Farmerville community is in mourning following the tragic death of 21-year-old John Jones, a resident of Farmerville, Virginia. The devastating incident occurred on North Spillway Road near Wildwood Drive in Monroe, resulting in the loss of a young life. Louisiana State Police Troop F opened an investigation into the incident, which unfolded around 1 a.m. on Sunday morning.
According to preliminary findings, Jones was operating a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado, traveling north on North Spillway Road.

I don’t even know where to start because john Jones and I go back so far. I don’t remember many years before meeting this amazing young man ,a part of me has been torn away as heaven gained another angel, 10-22-23 you can ask anyone you know and he most definitely had one of the kindest souls. He loved God and he wasn’t afraid to tell it either. John spent the afternoon with me just before he passed and he was making sure everyone at the dinner table knew God and knew what was to come if they didn’t know God in the midst of preaching to everyone he made it perfectly clear that God has opened up his soul and heart to know God truly I am so glad I got to hear his wonderful testimony and what a testimony john left behind he was more like a brother than a cousin to me and so many others when it comes to the ability of love john had so much love to go around the gentle giant will always be loved and remembered FLY HIGH double barrel you will always be in our hearts
