GOVAN - Born in Orangeburg County, S.C., he was a son of the late Clarence Everette Jones Sr. and Julia Margaret Gunnells Jones. Buddy had a love and talent for music and could play almost any instrument in the band, especially the guitar. He loved to go in his younger days and help set up equipment for bands that were coming near and even got to hang out with Lynyrd Skynyrd. Buddy enjoyed spending time at the beach, time in the mountains and traveling with his good buddy Beetle.
