Cheers, y'all!

On April 6, 2013, Jones performed his final show, in Knoxville, Tenn.

For most of his early life, Jones was a gifted artist with a drinking problem and self-destructive bent, but there's nothing like the love of a good woman to turn a guy around.

On March 4, 1983, Jones wed Nancy Sepulvado at his sister's house in Woodville, Texas.
