Jerry Jones

Jerry Jones was a lifelong resident of Tulalip, WA. He was a great fisherman and loved the family trade. He lived his life to the fullest. He loved baseball and his team couldn't wait for him to get up to bat as it was always an automatic homerun. Teams from all around loved to come watch Tulalip play because they had Jerry on their team.

While Jerry was in the Army, he was an aviation mechanic. During his career as a welder, he built fishing boats for Alaska Fishery. He also helped to build the Washington State Ferries. Jerry worked for Tulalip Tribes as a logging mechanic for many, many years. As logging was beginning to lag, the tribe was able to fund a canoe project.

Since Jerry had worked on many different carving projects over the years, he was chosen by the Board to be the lead on this new endeavor for the tribe. Joe Gobin worked as an assistant to Jerry while completing his first canoe project. Since that project, Jerry had become a renowned Master Carver throughout the Northwest. He had helped many other tribes do their first canoe projects and had completed two additional canoes for Tulalip. He completed his first strip canoe July of 2003. Jerry was not only a canoe carver, but he was also a carving teacher. He taught classes to all ages, people learned to carve paddles, big and small masks, cedar combs, bowls and many other beautiful works from cedar.

Jerry was not only a teacher, but was also a student. He was always traveling to different places to learn how to further his knowledge of carving and working with cedar in general. Jerry also became very good with cedar hat and basket making. He was also a very good artist studying the differences between Northern Salish Styles and Coast-Salish Styles. Jerry was proud to be CoastSalish and he would never fail to let you know it. He would make drums and have Co-Salish designs put on them. He was not a greedy man as he would give just about anything to you if you needed it and he had it.

Jerry was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and an uncle to all of the Tulalip Canoe Family. Loved ones left behind are his beloved wife, Shirley W. Jones of 40 years; daughters, Angie, Jackie, Penny, Carla Rose and Tillie Jo Jones, all of Tulalip; grandchildren, Carl Romero, Jerry Jones, Kelsey Jones, Chambray Burleson, Dillon Carpenter, Loyal Carpenter, Jarell Carpenter, Brandi Moore, Jordayne Jones-Scalf, Johnathon Trobee and Syrille Stevens, all of Tulalip; as well as honorary daughters, Natalia Rogers, Darkfeather and Bibiana Anchetta; sisters, Linda Smith and husband Jim of Longbeach, Cecelia Morris of Bellingham; brothers, Ralph McIntosh of Lynnwood, Raymond Fryberg Sr. and wife Sheryl of Tulalip; numerous nieces and nephews; The Tulalip Canoe Family and the Tribal Journey Society.
