Arthur Jones has passed

[Eric15]

Not sure if this is immature to say but he was easily the most likable Jones brother. This is just terrible.

A little bit. But it’s all good. All 3 are New York legends for athletics.

Art stuck around for Doug Marrone’s first year when he could’ve declared for the draft. Chandler clearly came to SU because of his brother. Came back to town to open a business. A true Orange MAN. R. I. P. Arthur.

Incredibly sad. Big fan of both Arthur and Lawrence.

Per the Ravens.

RIP, great player during a brutal time for SU. Never forgot that ND performance.

Arthur’s performance against ND to get us a win was the best individual performance I have ever seen by a Syracuse football player. And given my age, that is saying something…

RIP Arthur. You were a special player.

Well isn't this a ****ty week.

RIP. As Jeremy said, that performance at South Bend was legendary.

Another shocking blow this week. And only 39. No words. RIP Arthur.

Terrible, he was easily one of the most likable athletes on campus. Did they give a cause of death?

What a terrible couple weeks for the SU sports family. Hug those you love tighter, make memories whenever you can. Some day those memories may all be that's left. Godspeed Arthur.

Not completely wrong thought. I think Chandler mostly just had some mental health issues, but Jon is a different level of a poor human. I happen to have some knowledge on it and I’m not just saying that.

Three Cuse legends lost in the past 3 weeks. All way too young.

what? 39?...unreal

 

[dasher]

What ! We have had a tough run

 

[Toga]

According to the NYT, he had experienced health issues for the past several years.

Man, this is absolutely devastating. RIP Arthur. 39 is too damn young to die.

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

Damn RIP. What a beast on the DLine

I literally just saw him at Circle K in Manlius two weeks ago... these past few weeks have SUCKED.

It has been an awful week for Orange Nation.

South Campus legend. Met him a few times when we were both students and it's so sad to hear this news. Feel terrible for his family and friends.
