Daryl Jones II

Daryl Paul Jones II, 39, of North Platte, passed away on August 7, 2026, in North Platte, Nebraska. He was born on October 6, 1986, in Yankton, South Dakota, to Daryl Paul Jones Sr. and Dollinda Edmonds.

Daryl Paul Jones II was a kind-hearted man with a funny sense of humor and an infectious smile that could light up a room. He loved being outdoors and found something special in looking up at the night sky. There was a peacefulness in those moments that he seemed to appreciate deeply.

Daryl faced struggles with addiction throughout his life, but his struggles were only one part of his story. At his heart, he was someone who cared about others and often found joy in helping those around him. Not only the people he knew, but especially the people he was meeting for the first time. He had a way of making people laugh, bringing a smile to their faces, and reminding those who knew him of the good that could still be found in difficult times.

Daryl was married to his beloved wife, Rebecca Jones (Lawson), on February 1, 2022, in Lincoln, Nebraska, who shared his life and stood beside him through the joys and challenges they faced together and apart. He truly loved and respected her with all his heart.

His life was not without struggles, but it was filled with moments of love, laughter, and connection. Those who loved Daryl will carry those memories with them and look to the night sky with thoughts of the man whose infectious smile and spirit will never be forgotten.

Daryl is survived by his wife, Rebecca Jones of North Platte; daughters and step-daughters, Kiara Taylor, Brianna Sharp, Alexia Deck, and Bella Jones; sons and step-sons, Izayah Jones, Monguel Taylor Jr., and Marques Taylor; grandparents, Dorothy Jones of Rosebud, South Dakota, and Richard Casillas of North Platte, Nebraska; sisters, Shaylanna Jones and Kelly Jones; brothers, Sonny Ray Escarsega, Marcos (Jaime) Escarsega, Timothy (Tina) Jones, P.J. Jones, and D.J. Jones; and many other family members and friends.
