Aiden Jones Obituary
Aiden was born October 12, 2005 in Springfield, Illinois, the son of Kimberly Jones and Christopher Reid.
Mourning his passing are his mother, Kimberly Jones (husband Michael Lewis) of Athens, IL; brother, Memphis Jones of Athens, IL; three half-siblings, Jessica, Taylor, and Ted Lewis of Hannah City, IL; father, Christopher Reid and a half-sister, Emma Reid both of Rochester, IL; grandmother "Granin", Linda Jones of Chatham, IL; grandfather, Benny (wife Linda) Jones of Greenville, SC; his girlfriend who meant everything, Hannah Niewold of Cantrall, IL; numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins; and countless friends.
He is preceded in death by an uncle, Allen Galbraith of Piffard, NY and great grandparents, Sharon and Dorothy Galbraith of Piffard, NY; and Raymond and Virgil Jones of Cambridge, OH.
Aiden was a Junior at Athens High School.
He worked as Bucket Operator for Putnam Tree Service in Athens.
Aiden loved street riding bicycles and taught many friends and young bicyclists to ride and do "wheelies". He spent many hours wrenching motors and anything with wheels and leaving the garage in chaos – all with a smile on his face. He truly loved life and living in the fast lane. What Aiden enjoyed most was being a big brother to Memphis and teaching him how to do everything. He treasured all the times he spent just hanging out with friends.
He enjoyed fishing, spending time on Lake Michigan with family, Buffalo Bills football, and shredding as many new skate parks as he could find.
We will all miss his energy, infectious smile, and impulsive personality that made everyone laugh.
Cremation rites will be accorded.
