Mr. Brigel Jones

BRIGEL JONES was born the second of three sons to Mary Alverta (Watts) Jones and Samuel Louis Jones on July 2, 1960, in Annapolis, Maryland. He transitioned into eternal rest on August 13, 2015 at University of Maryland Hospital with his immediate family close by. Brigel received his education in the Baltimore City Public School System, graduating from Northwestern High School in 1978. He went on to attend PSI Institute for Computer Technology. A person of many talents, Brigel's career consisted of working many years as a caterer, computer professional, mentor, and educator before retiring to work with his wife Lynette in their family daycare business, Candy's Learing/Playhouse Christian Day Care. Brigel provided a loving Christian environment and guidance to the children that they cared for. Brigel's talents did not stop there, he was a great cook and in his own words, "grill master". He was famous among friends and family for his BJ burgers, mashed potatoes, yummy yams, and peach tea. Brigel was always a talented athlete, even at 55 years old. He loved working out, playing basketball, football, ping-pong and shooting pool. Brigel met the love of his life Lynette D. Battle (Candy) in June 1992 at Lexington Market. They were united in marriage on June 3, 1995. They were a great team, together raising their 6 children, 4 adopted children and opening their home to their extended family. Brigel and Candy were always giving wherever needed. Every year they hosted Thanksgiving dinner at their home and "Family and Friends Day" where their family, friends and clients were invited to fellowship, eat, and play. It was a joyous time for all from the little ones playing in the moon bounce to the young people and the elders in attendance. Family was very important to Brigel and he enjoyed close relationships with his immediate and extended family. Brigel was passionate about family time. Playing cards with his mother and brothers was always an event of joy and laughter that later traveled with him into his adult years. Family and friends knew that you could not play Uno with BJ and lose the game without doing a chore, serving, or exercising. There was nothing but good and fun times with BJ. Brigel's spiritual life was also very important to him. He dedicated his life to the Lord in 1995 under the leadership of Pastor Hollis C. Neal. He was a member of First Charity Baptist Church where he sang with the Men's choir, singing solos and appearing in Christian plays at the church. Brigel leaves to cherish his memory; his loving and devoted wife, Lynette D. Jones (Candy); six children, Montrae Jones (Katrina), Davon Eddington (Ashley), Derek Jones, Sade' Marrow, Devin Jones, Isaiah Jones; seven grandchildren, Aniyah Eddington, Kamiah Jones, Davon Eddington Jr., Montrae Jones Jr., Kyrie Jones, Ayvah Eddington, Mason Jones; four adopted children, Evan Robertson, Zebada Hill, Jacinda Brown, Saphire Brown; two brothers, Kelvin Jones Sr. (Cynthia), and Eric Jones; a god sister, Andrea Satchell; a god brother, Darrell Taylor, and a host of god-children, uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
