Dear Brothers and Sisters, it is with heavy hearts, that we share the news of the sudden falling asleep in the Lord of our beloved brother in Christ, +Tom Jones.

+Tom was a devoted husband to Nerissa and a loving father to their three young children, ages 7, 4, and 1. He passed away unexpectedly on July 12, 2025, at the age of 36 — on the holy feast day of Saints Peter and Paul.

+Tom was the sole provider for his family, working tirelessly to ensure his loved ones had everything they needed. His unexpected loss has left his family not only heartbroken but also facing an overwhelming financial burden during this unimaginably difficult time.

We are raising funds to help Nerissa and the children cover funeral expenses, immediate living costs, and provide some financial stability, for the near future, as they begin to rebuild their lives. Every contribution, no matter the size, will go directly to supporting the family and ensuring they have one less thing to worry about. For those of you able, we will be setting up a Patreon for the family and their longer term financial help.

On behalf of the Jones family, we thank you for your prayers, generosity, and support.

With love in Christ,

St. George Serbian Orthodox Church Community
