In Remembrance of Bob Jones
January 26, 1949 - September 30, 2025
Robert Lee Jones, known affectionately as Bob, passed away on September 30, 2025, in Austin, Texas, after a brave battle with prostate cancer. Born January 26, 1949, in Eagle Lake, Texas, Bob’s life was marked by a steadfast faith, a gift for music, and a deep love for his family.
Bob Jones came to Alta Woods in 1988 after receiving the Master of Church Music degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth, Texas and served as Minister of Music for eleven years. During his ministry, two additional groups were formed, including the Senior Adult Choir and the Church Orchestra.
The Alta Woods family extends our deepest sympathy to his wife, Marilyn, daughter Christi Masters, and son Jeremy Jones. His funeral service will be live-streamed from the Canyon Church, Dripping Springs, Texas on Wednesday. October 8 at 11 am.
