In Memory of Robert "Junior" Jones Jr.: Support His Family
Donation protected
On Saturday October 19th, our dear friends received the worst possible news. Janna and Kendall suffered the unexpected loss of their Husband and Father Robert Jones Jr. while he was working in Brazil. Immediately, they were met with the love and support of Bret Michaels who dedicated that night’s show to Junior, as he was known to everyone, and Bret travelled to them immediately following the show offering financial help and emotional support. Working with Premier Global Production for the last 10 years and at the time of his passing, they stepped up in ways that only one could imagine to lend their support both abroad and at home and to facilitate all that goes with passing abroad.
In the days that have followed, many have asked how they can help Janna and Kendall navigate this new reality. In all the ways that Janna and Kendall have helped others, we thought this might be a way to help them by easing some of the intial burden but also helping them as they move forward.
Junior loved his tour families, was a hard working, dedicated and valued Production Manager and Crew Chief. In the words of Premier Global,
“A valued crew chief, Junior was a leader of men and women cherished by our clients as much as he was by his many friends.
Known for his goofy pony-tail, and affinity for wearing golf shoes on the job, Junior was always a breath of fresh air when encountered in our shop or at a gig. Quick with a smile and an energetic hello, Junior was the kind of guy you liked to have around. His positive attitude was infectious. No problem was too big to solve, calmly with precision and confidence.
Junior was one of a kind and will be truly missed on stages - and golf courses - around the world”
On top of this, he meant so much to his Family and he lived for “his girls”, as he always called them. The emptiness they feel at this time has been eased by stories, photos, videos, text messages, posts and other connection they have felt with all of you through Junior. Photos, videos and stories, no matter how big, small, silly or serious can be sent to Janna and Kendall at Junioristheking324 <at> gmail. Please keep them coming as Janna and especially Kendall, would like any and all pieces of Junior and his life as they can get.
In closing, although some of the initial assistance with bringing Junior home has been taken care of, there is a long road ahead for Janna and Kendall as they pick up the pieces of their broken hearts and world. In lieu of flowers and gifts please consider a contribution of any amount. It is lovingly accepted and appreciated more than you know.
Thank you.
