Jade Eyvonne Jones

May 26, 2018 – April 30, 2022

Jade Eyvonne Jones, three weeks from being four years old, passed away next to her baby brother Logan on April 30 ^th , 2022. We take comfort in knowing if we had to lose both of these precious angels, that they crossed into their heavenly home hand in hand with Jade's dog Drake to greet them. We now know that Drakes sudden passing last week served a purpose greater than what we knew at the time.

Jade was preceded in death by her first cousin JJ Kelley of Shreveport. Left to cherish her memory is her mother Kristi Kelley of Galveston, grandparents Donnie and Kay Kelley of DeBerry Texas, and aunt Toot Toot (Tori), Uncle Garrett, and cousins Jaxson and Erin of De Berry. Her father Dustin Jones of Galveston, grandparents Steven and Sheri Jones of Galveston, and Janet and Rod Hicks from Lake Jackson, Tx along with numerous aunts and uncles and cousins.

Jade was a collector of many "things". She loved to collect rocks, leaves, flowers, toy cars, and mini stuffed animals.  She always had a favorite rock, toy, or stuffed animal of the week and wanted to take it everywhere she went, even to sleep. (game timer. IYKYK)

In the evenings after work, Jade and her mother Kristi would take a walk at the walking track or to the park next to their apartment where Jade would collect her many treasures and have some of her mini adventures. Some of her favorite past times were going to different parks, zoos, riding trains, and going to the farmer's market where Jade and her mom would share a kombucha tea and dance to the live music. While at home, she loved building block towers, drawing, painting, playing with play-doh, picking out books to read with her Mama, and watching her favorite shows, Paw Patrol, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Spiderman.

One of her favorite things to do was to take road trips to DeBerry to visit her two favorite cousins, Jaxson and Erin, and the rest of the Kelley Family. They would ride four wheelers, blow bubbles, feed the fish and the turtles, go on walks, go to the park, get Happy Belly's ice cream, and support her cousins at their athletic events.

Another big part of her life was her dad Dustin, his girlfriend Nikki, and both sets of grandparents. While at her dad's house, she loved coloring, playing outside, going to the beach, working on daddy's vehicles, even if she handed him the wrong tools, going to the zoo, visiting Moody Gardens, and helping Nikki put on her makeup. Jade loved that her dad was a fireman, and every time she saw a fire truck or ambulance would yell "There's daddddy". She loved seeing him in parades and events on the island.  She inherited his love of music.

Hannah, you'll always have a special place in my heart. I always wanted a sister and that's what I gained when God placed you and Logan in our lives. You and your family included me and Jade in everything and treated us like we were your blood family. For the past 2 years, you were my family down here, and I am eternally grateful.
