In Memoriam
Wyatt Lafayette Jones, Jr.
December 19, 1946 - June 19, 2008
Deacon Wyatt L. Jones, Jr., entered into
eternal life on June 19, 2008. Deacon Jones played a key role in
laying the groundwork for Loyola Academy (as it was called at first)
and served as the school’s first Dean of Students. He left Loyola
in 1998 to engage in full-time parish work. In 2004 he returned to Loyola
to serve as Dean for two years and then as faculty chaplain.
Deacon Jones was known for his dynamic preaching and for his extraordinary
ability to reach young people. He is survived by his wife of 29
years, DeBorah (Eastman); four children: Wyatt III and his wife, Tierra;
Thomas and his wife, Tiona; James and his wife, Ayeshia; and Marion;
and four grandchildren: Travis, Nicholas, Jazzmin, and Christian.
At the family’s request, memorial contributions may be made to
Loyola High School. Deacon Jones’s remarkable life will be featured
in the next issue of "Landmark."
