Bo was born June 2, 1952, to R. W. and Mavis Mignon Todd Jones in Ellisville, Mississippi. He was a devoted member of Macedonia Revival Center, where he was an example to others of genuine worship. He was also known for his friendliness and kindness; especially to the children of the church who were drawn to him. For many years, Bo was a construction welder attaining the certification of a First Class Certified Welder. He was a hard worker who enjoyed his work. Bo, known as “Cowboy” to his work family, was employed by Lavender, Inc., for approximately 30 years. As an avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, and gardening. The love of his life were his grandchildren and great-grandchildren with whom he enjoyed spending as much time as he could. When his grandchildren were in high school and college, he enjoyed following them in whatever sport was in season. He also became the dog sitter for Louie. Bo was a rock and a firm foundation for his family and friends.
