SULLIVAN, Ill. (WCIA) — In Coles County, friends and family are mourning the loss of Sullivan High School’s band director.
Aaron Jones graduated from Eastern Illinois University in 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in music education. He participated in the Panther Marching Band, orchestra and more.
Along the way, he met several friends who kept in touch with him after the college years. One friend, Rucker Parsons, said Jones was a passionate, multi-talented, and caring person.
Parsons also said he still can’t imagine him being gone.
“It’s out of nowhere. You know, you get a call from a friend saying, ‘Hey, we’re just getting the word out.’ And it was kind of just like an ‘oh-crap’ moment,” he said. “Like, I have no idea what’s going on. Like, what? What are you talking about?”
This Friday, the band director from Mattoon High School is hoping to hold an event remembering Aaron Jones.
