Biography: Barret Joseph Jones, born March 16, 1987, passed away peacefully on February 20, 2016. Barret was a graduate of Catholic High School for Boys, a lifelong Razorback fan, and a numbers whiz. He was driven by a fascination with how the world works. His inquisitive mind and innate curiosity led him to teach himself how to write computer code in middle school and to become the technology guru for his whole family. His writing, like his intelligence, was fluid, precise and persuasive. He was always ready to debate current events and how things should be made better. He even had a way of perfectly creating a word where none was quite sufficient, such as someone "arguvating" him. His body and his heart worked with that same empathic intuition. He was a natural athlete and could pick up any athletic skill or technique just by watching someone else. He was incredibly loyal and was an ardent defender of those closest to him. His family and friends were precious to him, and he could read and appreciate their emotions without needing words. Barret was a young man who was greatly loved and who will be missed by his parents, Judy and Jerry Jones, his brother and sister-in-law, Grant and Martha Jones, his two dear nephews, and his grandparents, Mary Mae and Jodie Jones of Bentonville and Shirley and Glen Feldman of Harrison, as well as his aunts, uncles, cousins and many good friends. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, February 23 at 1pm at Christ the King Catholic Church. In lieu of flowers, please consider memorials to Catholic High School for Boys, or to your favored charitable organization.

Jerry, Judy, and Family:

I am so sad to hear about the passing of Barret. I am so sorry about hearing this very sad news just this morning. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. I never met Barret - only heard wonderful things from his proud father, Jerry.

Jerry...you and Judy have been in my mind all day and I have been praying for all of you.

First my condolences go out to Jones Family. I was with B as i call him Friday night until about 8:30. My last memory of Barret is a good one. We discussed politics and debated about other topics as he was always up for a good argument. He kept me on my toes because it's always hard to argue with a genius,which he was willing to let you know. He will be greatly missed. A true friend he always was, and the definition of loyalty.

Barret and my son, Taylor, were college roommates and close friends. Barret was easy to like, and I, like many, saw his brilliance. We are sad for you all, but you were blessed to have had Barret for the time God gave you. God bless you all.....Jim & Tish Dittrich

To the Jones Family.
I knew Barret from CHS, we graduated together in 2005. It saddens me to hear that one of my Catholic High brothers is no longer with us. I will always remember Barret smiling. He was a friend to many and he will be truly missed.

Que en Paz Descanse, May you rest in Peace.

A friend from Arkansas shared this tragic news with me today. She remembered I was Grant and Barret's babysitter in high school. I loved being with those darling boys. I wish I could have spent more time with them as they grew up. My thoughts are with you, Judy, Jerry and Grant. Ann (Williamson) McDoniel
