A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 10 IN MCCORMICK COUNTY FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 28 TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH THE MCCORMICK/GREENWOOD COUNTY LINE "CAPTAIN JUNNE 'J.R.' JONES MEMORIAL HIGHWAY" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS PORTION OF HIGHWAY CONTAINING THESE WORDS.

Whereas, Captain Junne "J.R." Jones was born on July 6, 1956, the son of David Jones, Sr., and Mary L. Jones and departed his earthly life on February 7, 2019; and

Whereas, he was a graduate of Lexington High School, attended South Carolina State University, and was a graduate of the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy; and

Whereas, Captain Jones devoted thirty-one years of his life serving the citizens of this State as a state trooper; and

Whereas, he later served six years as the Chief of Police for the Town of McCormick; and

Whereas, Captain Jones was a faithful member of the New Hope Missionary Baptist Church where he served as a trustee, church photographer, member of the Pastor's Aid Ministry, and project manager of the Learning and Development Center; and

Whereas, he and Linda Thompkins Jones, his wife of thirty-seven years, together raised three fine children who blessed them with four grandchildren; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to recognize Captain Junne "J.R." Jones for many years of service to this State by naming a portion of highway in McCormick County in his honor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly request the Department of Transportation name the portion of South Carolina Highway 10 in McCormick County from its intersection with South Carolina Highway 28 to its intersection with the McCormick/Greenwood County line "Captain Junne 'J.R.' Jones Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway containing these words.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
