Robert Jones

September 5, 1957 — January 31, 2025

Robert Elmer Jones, affectionately called "Bobby", "Bobby Jones" aka "Slim", of Cleveland, Ohio, entered his Heavenly home surrounded by family on Friday, January 31, 2025.


Bobby was born September 5, 1957, in Cleveland Ohio, to Sandra (Jones) Fort and Curtis L. Houston Sr.


Bobby graduated from Glenville High School. After high school, the Tarblooder answered the call to serve and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. During his service, he was stationed in Okinawa, Japan. He proudly served his country and explored the world, creating lasting memories and friendships across many places. Bobby was promoted to Corporal Sergeant during his military career. He fulfilled his military service with distinction and received an honorable discharge, remaining true to "Semper Fi."


Bobby found great comfort in his faith. He and his wife, Aletha, were members of Born Again Ministries, under the leadership of Pastor Gregory Love.


Bobby enjoyed firing up the grill for family and friends. He loved watching sports and cheering on his favorite teams - Browns, Guardians, and CAVS. "Slim" loved riding motorcycles with his Mystic Knights Motorcycle Club family, and he enjoyed keeping his Cadillac detailed and ready to roll. Bobby enjoyed hanging out with his beloved 111 crew. He also loved traveling with his "Queen", especially on cruises, where he could easily be found chilling out on the Lido deck. Bobby was talented at painting and fixing things, always taking pride in doing the job right. His laid-back style, funny jokes, and swag will be greatly missed.


Bobby was preceded in death by his mother, Sandra; brothers, Jeffrey and Jerome; grandfather, Elmer Jones; grandmother, Elizabeth Houston; and nephew, Curtis L. Houston III. 


Bobby leaves to mourn his passing, his loving wife, Aletha; daughters, Megan Jones of Cleveland, Ohio; Crystal and Sade Jones of North Carolina, and Kesha Harris of San Diego, California; sons, Levar Smith (Aquisha), Robert Snead, and Jeremy Jones of North Carolina; grandchildren, Cali Jones, Marley Jones, Ramiyah Harris, Solai Harris, Jarren Snead, Darion Snead, Jayvon Snead, and Jordan Snead; brothers, Larry Faulkner of Chicago, Illinois, and Kenneth (Vanessa) Houston; Curtis L.
