David Lee Jones 63, of Cordell, was born in Anthony, Kansas to Richard and Ann (Buhrman) Jones and passed away May 31, 2017. As a child David's family moved to Oklahoma and settled in Cordell. David attended school and graduated from Cordell High School. David married Valerie Merritt and to this union two children were born. David was a salesman for COORS and received recognition as Salesman of the Year. Later he owned and operated the Bessie Y until the expansion of the 183 Highway caused him to shut the doors. David loved to camp, fish and was an avid outdoors man. He never missed his yearly trip to Canton Lake for the Walleye Fishing Tournament.
