Brandon was very active in the First Baptist Church of Hot Springs and had a passion for missions. Brandon is survived by his children, Brad Jones, Ric Jones, and Jill Windsor, as well as nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, who affectionately knew him as "Pops." He was preceded in death by his siblings and his beautiful wife, Sandra. Brandon will be remembered fondly for his devotion to family, missions work, and the legacy of faith in Jesus that he passed on to his family.
