Jones, Michael Wayne

Age 69

Michael Wayne Jones passed away suddenly on a tennis court in Green Valley, AZ on Friday, January 15, where he was going for a low ball and a massive heart attack took him home to Glory. The Lord got ahold of Mike's heart 17 years ago when he had a heart attack and realized he could have died! If Mike could ask you one question he would want to know if it was game, set, match for you, do you know where you would go? He wants you to know Heaven is not a default....it is a place prepared for those who realize they are broken sinners....and have let Jesus Christ grab hold of their heart. Don't let another minute go by without deciding what you are going to do about Jesus. He's waiting at the door of your heart!
