From Abrey Adams-Watterson:
What an absolutely beautiful service. I felt many times overwhelmed by the spirit, especially Drew’s poem. His words are so deep and thoughtful and have made an impact on my heart. The example of love and faith that you all set as a family is truly heart warming and special. I could feel the deep love and admiration that you all have for him. He no doubt has had a massive impact on this world and was called home to make waves in a new realm. Though we do not understand, God’s plan and timing are always perfect and with purpose. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you navigate this journey without him on this Earth. I know he lives on in the arms of The Lord.

Drew was a medical student when I was a resident at the county hospital in Phoenix. I knew instantly he was a great fit for our program by the way he handled himself - he was professional and yet very personable. A rare combination that made him so special.

Love and respect to you Drew, thank you for our short but fun times together in clinic.

From Brian & Debra Barlow:
To the dear Jones family: this truly is tragic and our hearts go out to you. we did not know Drew but have been friends with the Jones family. So young with a young family is especially tragic. Grandpa Gary was probably wondering why Drew followed him so soon as you all must have wondered the same. Thank goodness for the knowledge of the plan of happiness although it doesn’t seem liike that at this moment in time. But it is. Our love, hearts and prayers are with you all.
From Mark and Verla Darrington:
Dee and Bonnie, and all the Jones and Colton family. We are so sorry to hear of Drew’s passing. I remember him well playing sports in Declo.

We pray that you will feel the Savior’s love and be comforted by his peace. Our love to you all.

Our thoughts and prayers to the Jones family.

We pray the Lord comforts his family and gives him eternal peace.
From Maryann Valdez :
My sincere condolences go out to the Jones’ family and friends. I worked closely with Drew for the past few years, eventually becoming his secretary at Mobility Foot Care. Words cannot express what an amazing podiatrist Drew had become. He treated every patient with such respect and genuine care. I am honored to have worked so closely with Drew as we developed a close friendship (More like family)
My words simply cannot express how much I will miss our conversations and laughter. I will especially miss blasting country music on our long commutes to work, knowing you disliked it. “It made his ears bleed” as he would say. Drew was an incredible boss and friend. He will never be forgotten.
Love you Drew!

From Alfonso Ramos:
Elder Jones was literally an angel in the Buenos Aires West Mission. His smile was very similar to that of Christ. And his influence on of all us who had the fortune to work together with him was unforgettable. He always loyal, always faithful a pure example of what the love of the Savior represents. His love changed lives and hearts and left us with inmensurable peace. There is no doubt that elder Jones dwells with our Heavenly Father and the pain we feel for his absence will, on the other hand, be the joy of many other beings who yearned for his presences. Brother and Sister Jones, thank you for raising a son like him. We pray so that you can receive the spiritual manifestations that console your afflicted souls and that confirm the reality of Eternal Life. We love you very much. Alfonso Ramos ( former President of the Buenos Aires West Mission)

I was Drew's neighbor in Tucson for a few months. We spent quiet evenings on the stoop under the stars sharing stories of our journeys, our dreams, our writings and his poetry. We were a small crew of friends meeting for a short time. In those moments we gave each other hope and friendship. Drew is missed and tears and memories remain. I miss you brother. You truly are a shooting star. Shine on and made eternity bright for the rest of us. We love you and wish we could have one more night of you waxing poetic.
