He started and completed school at Lueders ISD. He then went on to study at Howard Payne University.
Don spent the majority of his life working in the oilfield. He took great pride in being one of Precision Lining Systems-DouLine's prime overseas associates. He could and would sit and explain to anyone who showed interest in his field of expertise for hours. He traveled to many countries sharing his knowledge with China, Russia, Australia and Kazakhstan just to name a few.
You could always hear Don coming before you saw him. He was always whistling a tune or singing a song. He enjoyed being with his family and friends and he usually had a joke or story to tell. Don enjoyed people in general and rarely met someone he didn't like. Don had a love for animals and he never found a pup that he couldn't get to liking him by the time his visit was over. Don knew and loved the Lord and was a member of First Baptist Church in Lueders, Texas.
Don is preceded in death by both his parents, his brother Douglas Jones, and his brother-in-law Edwin E. Roberts Jr.
