Shawn Jones, a 39-year-old resident of Greenbay, was laid to rest on Monday following a fatal accident that occurred while he was delivering Christmas hams and turkeys on December 19th last year.
Surrounded by family, including his common-law wife, Tanessa David, and their five sons, loved ones gathered to pay their final respects to a man cherished by many.
The tragedy unfolded in Herberts when Jones lost control of the truck he was driving. Witnesses reported that the vehicle began to skid, leading to a loss of control that resulted in the truck flipping over and tragically pinning Jones underneath.
