Jedidiah Justis Jones, age 7 months, became an angel in heaven, on January 1, 2024.

Jedidiah was born on May 17, 2023 at 9:25pm at AtlantiCare Hospital in Galloway, NJ, weighing 1 lb., 10 oz.  At 3 months old, Jedidiah was transferred to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and battled chronic lung disease for 229 days.  The "Little Gladiator" fought a hard fight, got healthier, and grew to be 13 lbs., 9 oz.  He loved to show his little personality and would give his observant side-eye to all who were caring for him.

Jedidiah is the treasured son of Tina Trace and Justin Jones.  Cherished brother of Abasi, Jayden, and Ava.  Loved grandson of Ouma Peggy Jones and his late Memom Cheryl Hainsworth.  He is also survived by many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and supportive friends.

The family would like to thank the staff of AtlantiCare and the CHOP NICU for their love and care to Jedidiah.

Services will be held privately at the request of the family.
