Denver Ray Jones, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at the Hospice of Southern Kentucky in Bowling Green, KY. Born on Friday, September 27, 1957, in Butler County, KY, Denver's life was a testament to the enduring power of love, family, and hard work.

Denver was preceded in death by his loving parents, Raymond Clay and Corine Louise West Jones, and his dear sister, Teresa Jones. His legacy continues through his devoted wife of 45 years, Anna Sue Whitaker Jones, whom he married on May 9, 1980. Together, they built a life filled with joy and laughter, raising two wonderful children, Monique Grubb (Jeff) and Clifton Jones, both of Morgantown, KY.

Denver's joy multiplied with the arrival of his seven grandchildren, Austin Johnston (Allison) of Morgantown, KY, Ciara Jones (Jaren) of Morgantown, KY, Hannah Willoughby (Dillon) of Owensboro, KY, Trever Jones of Frankfort, KY, Lacy White (Ethan) of Morgantown, KY, JueLie Jones of Morgantown, KY, and Morgan Denison of Morgantown, KY. His four great-grandchildren, Isabella, Mavrick, Kaysen, and Kai, brought him immense happiness and pride. He is also survived by his siblings, Ricky Jones, Debbie Jones Jones, and Kathy Waid, all of Bowling Green, KY, and several loving nieces and nephews.

Denver was a retired mechanic and carpenter, and he attended Highland Baptist Church.  He's interests were as grounded and wholesome as he was. He enjoyed fishing, camping, working in his yard and being outdoors. He had a passion for hunting arrowheads, always seeking treasures from the past. Denver's greatest joy was spending time with his children and grandchildren.
