Martin A. Jones Jr., 92, of Spearfish, SD passed away on September 17, 2024.

Martin was born on September 5, 1932, in Columbus, NE to Martin A. Jones Sr. and Barbara Ann Jones. He attended school until the 8th grade where he then took a job working for the railroad.

In 1951 he married Audree Ann Stork, and they moved to Grand Island, NE. There, three of their children, Virgina, Terry, and Mike were born. In 1961 the family moved to Belle Fourche, SD where daughter Suzette was born. Martin and Audree divorced in 1977 but remained friends until her death on April 22, 2024.

Martin worked for the railroad until his retirement in 1991.  After retirement, he took a job working for the City of Spearfish along with driving cars for various dealerships.

Martin was an avid hunter, fisherman, and an all-around jack of many traits. He was always there to lend a hand to his children if they needed something fixed. He loved to travel and in the last few years he loved it when his family came to see him and took him to Deadwood, SD where he joked, he was spending their inheritance. Martin lived his life to the fullest and spent his last year as a resident at Rolling Hills, where he kept the staff on their toes.

Martin is survived by his four children. Virginia Nielsen, Casper, WY, Terry Severyn (Richard Zielinski) Hamilton, MT, Mike (Cherry), Los Osos, CA, and Suzette Dillon (Jerry), Lino Lakes, MN; ten grandchildren and several great-grandchildren; brothers Jack Jones, Spearfish, Eugene (Dede) Jones,  Colorado Springs, CO, Gary (Dorothy) Jones, Columbus, NE  and special friend Nancy McGinnis, Spearfish. He was preceded in death by his parents Martin Sr. and Barbara Jones, sister Barbara Mielak and former wife, Audree Jones.
