Alex M. Jones, 51, of Natick, formerly of Framingham, passed away on June 9th after a long, brave and “bogus” battle with lymphoma (as he said). Alex, or Al as he was known to his old friends, leaves behind his beloved wife of 18 years Adrienne (Paglia) Jones formerly of Needham and three wonderful sons; Dylan age 14, Alex age 10 and Cody age 6 all of Natick. He also leaves behind his wife’s family which had become his own over the last 20 years most especially his mother-in-law, Agnes Paglia of Needham. He leaves a brother, George Jones of Marlboro and a sister, Virginia (Jones) Donovan of Los Olivos, California. He was the son of Carl and Virginia Jones, both deceased.
Alex’s passion and occupation was restoring antique lighting. For the last 14 years, he was a stay-at-home dad happily caring for his 3 boys. Alex had many other passions including music—most notably The Who, motorcycles, sports, the sun and the beach, but above all he loved his family. He will be missed terribly.
