David M. Jones

PLAISTOW, NH - David Michael Jones, 46, passed away on April 30, 2021, after a courageous battle with Glioblastoma. He was surrounded by loved ones around the clock helping to care for him. His beloved wife of 14 years, Maria was by his side as he left us and gained his heavenly body.

David was born and raised in Haverhill, MA and was a graduate of Haverhill High School and Northern Essex Community College. David truly found his calling when he went to work for Walmart-Plaistow, NH, earning his way to Department Manager and later taking a position at the Salem, NH store helping to train others in management. For 20 yrs he touched the lives of so many coworkers and customers. Some of his deepest and most meaningful friendships, and experiences were with the 'family' he created there. His favorite statement as a manager and friend was "Smiles Are Free."

David loved his family more than anything and spent all of his free time truly having fun with his wife and kids. He loved a good ice cream, watching sports, working on his sports cards business, hiking, going to North Conway, Plum Island Beach or any adventure he could think of. There was never a moment when he wasn't joking, or smiling. His personality lit up a room and he instantly made friends with anyone he came to know. 

He is survived by his sweet and loving wife Maria, his son Jack, 13 and his daughter Lilly, 10 of Plaistow, mother Maria Bevilacqua of Haverhill, father David A. Jones of Plaistow, sister Allison Jones, niece Willow, nephew Roman of Plaistow, brother Josh Jones of Plaistow, NH, Tim Jones of Dover, brother and sister in-law Chris and Christina Carrie of Hampstead, brother in-law John Guillemette of Brentwood, mother in-law Terry Donovan of Georgia, father in-law Ringo Guillemette of Brentwood, uncle and aunt Joe and Toni Bevilacqua of Haverhill and his very dear cousins Joe and Michael Bevilacqua of Haverhill. The numerous Walmart family of coworkers, childhood friends and his beloved cat Stormy who never left his side. He was preceeded in death by his Papa Louis Bevilacqua and Grammy Shirley Bevilacqua, aunt Joanne Bevilacqua of Haverhill and his Gramps and Grandmother Norma and Manly Jones of Maine.
