Dave was born in Fairfield February 6, 1934, to Bruce Edmund and Mabel Addie LINCOLN JONES. He graduated from Pleasant Plain High School in 1952. He was fortunate to be raised by a family and community that valued hard work, honesty, kindness, education, and love of God. He maintained these values throughout his lifetime.

Dave married Janet Arleen PARCELL on Easter Sunday, April 14, 1968, and they enjoyed more than 50 years together. Dave was a lifelong farmer, a true steward of the land. Mechanically inclined, he enjoyed the challenge of maintaining and repairing equipment around the farm.

Dave was active in his church and community, serving at many levels. He also served nine years on the William Penn University Board of Trustees and 15 years on the Associated Committee of Friends for Indian Affairs.

A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Dave was a big man with a welcoming personality who provided encouragement and assistance to others.
