Hershel L. Jones, 51, of Candler, NC passed on June 9, 2023. Born December 17, 1971 in Elgin, IL, son of Lula "Lou" L. (Pack) and John F. Murray. He attended Hononegah High School, graduating from Winnebago High School, class of 1990. Hershel was employed by Fortiline Waterworks in Asheville, NC as a Truck Driver. He was united in marriage to Melissa Lange on December 16, 2019. Hershel loved big. With a servant's heart, he would extend a hand to any and everyone in need. Hershel was never at a loss of words and could always be counted on for a beneficial word of advice. He was truly a jack of all trades and enjoyed using his hands to fix and build anything. It was not uncommon to find him in a garage sharing his love of cars and motorcycles. Hershel had a deep love of Jesus. We will miss his smile, his definite own sense of humor and his love. But one day, when the Lord determines, we will see him again. Go with God, and be at peace, dear son.
