Tezon Rashad Jones departed this life on Sunday, August 14, 2022. Our lives were changed and our hearts were hurt for our Son, father, grandson, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin & friend. Tezon known to many as “Zon” was born on January 30, 1990 in Norfolk, Va. He grew up in Roberts Park in Norfolk, where he was a kid that just couldn’t kept in the house. Tezon attended the Boys & Girls Club every day to hang out until he was a teenager. He participated in sports within the community, he played football & basketball as a child and often played as an adult for fun. Tezon was extremely athletic and extremely smart. Tezon was an honor roll student and stayed at the top of his classes throughout his academic endeavors with Norfolk Public Schools. Many of his teachers adored him as a kid. Tezon received his GED in 2007. He later went on to pursue HVAC, he completed his technical degree in HVAC in 2020 at United Education Institute in GA, where he made the deans list every semester.
Tezon was a vibe that could not be denied. He was smart, handsome, funny, hardworking and most of all loyal. Anyone who had the pleasure of having an encounter with Tezon couldn’t help but to love the type of person Tezon genuinely was. He was always fun to be around, you could always count on him to make you laugh in any situation and he had a smile that would light up a room. Tezon was in his words “a hustler” he was a firm believer in “working hard will pay off” and he did just that. Tezon was a manager at his job Tommy’s Express in Jonesboro, GA, where he had been dedicated to his position and his company. He also had his own clothing business called 1up Fashionz where he made customized clothing and provided women’s clothing as well. In Lieu of every great thing anyone can mention about Tezon, one of the things he was most proud of is being an exceptional father to his 4 children. Tezon adored his children, and made every effort to be present in every milestone no matter how big or small and his children always gave him that same love back.
Tezon was truly a one of a kind guy. His personality spoke volumes, he exhibited an aura about him that anyone would love. He was like a chameleon always able to adapt and connect with anyone that crossed his path. Anyone that he considered a friend or family, anyone he loved always knew they could count on Tezon in any situation. Tezon will truly be missed and it will never be another like him he’s beyond irreplaceable .
