Larry Wayne "Catfish" Jones, born September 6, 1955, in Batesville, Arkansas to Clarence and Della Kathern Baker Jones, passed away December 7, 2025.
He was a jokester, the wild card, but tough as a pine knot. He was the oldest brother of the Jones boys. It was always the Jones boys, Larry, Danny, and Charlie and they were inseparable until the Lord called a couple of the boys home.
Larry worked for Independence County Road Department. He enjoyed collecting guns and small-scale motorcycles. He also loved his cats and liked being outdoors, hunting and fishing, and being the life of the party. Larry always loved to make people laugh.
He was the father of Misty Pool (Lewis) and Brandy Willis (Mic). He leaves behind his daughters; two grandchildren, Jacie and Kaylee Pool, one sister, Kathy Cossey (Larry); one brother, Danny Jones (Lisa); one sister-in-law, Carolyn Jones; a special niece, Kira Jones, and several nieces, nephews, and cousins. As well as some good, good friends.
He is preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Charlie Jones.
Pallbearers are Danny Mullins, Bryson Duncan, Kevin Mayes, Brian Troy, Randy Sanders, and Gary Perez. Honorary pallbearers are Lewis Pool, Wendell Wingfield, and Henry Williams.

Jones I sure am gonna miss you. You had a heart of goal and I can't thank you enough, when I came home back in October, you came up to the grave yard and helped me scrub Brandon's tombstone. You were one of the most generous, funny, always helping people out and would give the shirt off your back for anyone. RIP my friend.

I will miss chatting with you when you came into the store. You could always make me laugh. Last time I talked to you, you were threatening to take my husbands hair. Then trying to figure out how yall were related. You will truly be missed. My life was richer to have known you.

We sure are going to miss you! Those big ol bear hugs that I swear popped every bone in my body. I just smile even thinking about how much fun you were all my life! I get so tickled thinking about the time dad wrapped that beach ball around your head and seeing your broken aviators and broken cigarette hanging out of your mouth. You told dad you was gonna kill him but we were laughing so hard we couldn't move. Dad just said kill me, I can't even run from you and it was worth it! I think we belly laughed for 30 straight mins.
Love you Uncle Larry! Tell my Daddy I said Hi and I sure loved you guys!

Larry always came in with a smile and a joke ready. He brightened every single day at he came into the scrapyard, and I'll forever be grateful for the laughs, the little conversations, and the way he could lift my mood without even trying. People like him make ordinary days feel lighter, and he truly left an impression on my heart. Rest easy, my friend. You will be missed more than you know.
