Spud came from Fort Griffin, Texas to Hobbs, N.M. where he spent his childhood. He was the youngest of three boys; They always held their heads high, and their chests out. Spud was the smallest of the three boys; he was the one at the end of the line who got the burnt biscuits and the burnt bacon. According to his daughter, Amy he liked the burnt biscuits and the burnt bacon until the day he died. Spud felt that he had to prove to everyone how tough he really was. One day at the bus stop some kids dared him to eat a handful of grass burrs. He did. He said that he would never eat those pickers again because his momma gave him a dose of castor oil every day for a week! His momma believed that they had to have a dose of castor oil once a month. Spud knew when that time was coming, he would see the big spoon sitting on the table. Spud entered the United States Army in 1969 and served in Vietnam for thirteen months. In that time he received two Bronze Stars, 13 silver stars, 1 Oak leaf National Defense Ribbon, 1 ARCOM, 1 oakleaf cluster Vietnam Service ribbon, 4 letters of commendation from the President of the United States and Most Important CIB (Combat Infantry Badge). (In order to receive this badge he had to serve 25 combat assault missions under fire and firing back). The Bronze Star Medal citation states that Private First Class Spud Jones
distinguished himself by outstandingly meritorious service in connection with military operations against a hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam . Spud said his survival and coming home to his precious children was due to His mothers prayers and his fathers teachings. In 1993 he came up to Timberon with a friend. He told Amy, I found Heaven. Spud is survived by his three children: Amy, Oddray, and Rhett; two brothers Kress and Tom; two sisters Cindy and Linda; his 5 grand-children, 1 great-grandchild, and more nieces and nephews that can be counted.
In 1993, the mountain took him in and in 2010 the mountain saw him out.
