Stacey Jones

March 13, 1999 - October 30, 2020

Stacey Lazelle De Santa Jacarean Jones was born on March 13th, 1999 to her mother Dora C. Wess-Brown, and her father Stacey C. Jones who preceded her in death. Stacey was a gifted and free-spirited child with a wide range of hobbies and talents. From her love of animals, to dabbling in horticulture, and consistently evolving as an artist, Stacey had a distinct aptitude for challenging herself and learning whatever she put her mind to. She attended both Joshua D. Kershaw and Johnson College Prep, where she was an honor student and had aspirations to be a Veterinarian once she graduated. Stacey was accepted by National Louis University, but like many students, she decided to hold off on continuing with her education until she knew exactly what she wanted to do. So she helped out her family by working part time, and used any extra money on her pets. Stacey amassed an impressive collection of reptiles, and used her DIY knowledge to build personalized habitats for each one. During this time, Stacey found her faith as both she and her brother Demetrius, joined Antioch Missionary Baptist Church. Following in the footsteps of her mother Dora who was returning to the church, and her brother John who was also a member. Stacey was out of work near the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic here in the US. So she spent that time not only surrounded by pets and family, but also surrounded by love. Stacey was known for lighting up a room with her smile, and effortlessly making others laugh with her quick wit and charm. On Friday, October 30th, 2020. God asked Stacey to put on her wings and join him in his kingdom. She is deeply mourned and survived by her mother Dora C. Wess-Brown, her brother John Fitzgerald Kennedy Brown Jr, and her brother Demetrius Lonzell Kennedy Wess-Brown. She will be mourned and never forgotten much like her brother Jacaré, who preceded her in death. She used the nickname "Speka" when it came to her art. And we shall continue to keep that name alive along with her bountiful spirit and heart. Fly high Speka. Until we are reunited in glory.
