Stephen Richard Jones passed away in the afternoon of October 26, 2026, at Hope Hospice Center in Missoula, Montana. Loved ones were at his side. He was 41 years old.
Born in Pennsylvania, Stephen grew up mainly in Colorado outside of Denver. After a ten year stay in New Mexico, Stephen moved to Montana to reconnect with family. Stephen absolutely loved Montana and made many close friends. He could often be found mountain biking and hiking in the Bitterroot mountains and forests.
Among his many attributes Stephen will be most remembered by those close to him for his love of nature, his voracious reading, and in the end his courage and determination facing death. He will be deeply missed and forever loved. A memorial is planned for spring.
