Weston Dean Jones was born March 4, 2022, the son of Anna (Sweeney) and Kyler Jones of Waterloo, IA. Wessy Boy was the light of many people's lives, making a big impact on everyone he met. With a smile or a high five, Weston was always ready to make a new friend. He was known for his cool style, a mischievous personality, and his love for his puppies. Weston enjoyed going to coffee shops with his mom because he always knew a bakery treat was in store for him. Weston was always on the go with his mom and dad; between family outings, summer golfing, and riding the lawn mower with his dad, he never had a dull moment. Weston was taken far too soon from this earth, but we all know he's building the biggest block towers, playing "Ring Around the Rosie" at the golden gates, and making all new friends up in Heaven.

God bless our Wessy Boy.
