STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA — The Stockton community is reeling with grief following the sudden and tragic passing of Jojo Bones, a devoted father, loving son, and cherished friend to many. His unexpected death has left a profound void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

Jojo was a man whose warmth, generosity, and unwavering love for his family defined every aspect of his life. Most importantly, he was a devoted father to his daughter, Sophie, whom he adored beyond measure. Those close to him say his eyes lit up whenever he spoke of her, and everything he did was rooted in his love for her future and happiness.

His loss is being felt deeply by his parents, Joey and Lorraine Bones, and his siblings, Ashley and Sammy, who remember Jojo as not only a caring brother and son, but as the emotional glue that brought people together. A cousin described him as “kind, friendly, sweet, handsome, and God-loving,” someone whose smile could light up a room and whose spirit brought peace and joy to every gathering.

“He had a rare soul,” one family member shared. “He gave without expecting anything in return. He loved big, he laughed hard, and he made everyone around him feel safe and valued.”

Friends remember Jojo as someone you could always count on—loyal, supportive, and willing to lend a hand at any time. He formed lasting bonds wherever he went, leaving an impact not just through words, but through everyday actions of love and kindness.

As tributes pour in, there is one common theme: Jojo Bones was a man of great heart, deep faith, and enduring love. His passing is a devastating loss for Stockton and beyond, but his legacy will live on in the stories, memories, and love he leaves behind.

In the words of one grieving family member: “Jojo will forever shine brightly in our hearts. Though he has ascended too soon, his light will never fade.”

The community is encouraged to keep the Bones family in their thoughts and prayers as they navigate this unimaginable loss.
