NEW MIDDLETOWN – Brock A. Jones, 16, died tragically Friday evening, April 11, 2025, from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

Brock was born May 12, 2008, in Youngstown, a son of Anthony Jones and Nicole Woolhouse.

He previously attended school in North Canton and was currently enrolled at the Mahoning County Career and Technical Center, where he was studying welding. Brock currently worked at AutoZone.

Known for his infectious sense of humor, unforgettable hugs, belt buckles and boots, Brock had a way of lighting up any room. He lived life fearlessly and made it his mission to bring laughter and smiles to everyone around him—a true class clown. Brock loved the outdoors and could often be found hunting with his duck and goose calls, fishing, or riding dirt bikes. A natural athlete, he enjoyed both playing and watching football, baseball and basketball. He also had a deep love for music and was rarely seen without his portable speaker.

Brock leaves to forever cherish his memory his father, Anthony (Ashley) Jones of New Middletown; his mother, Nicole Woolhouse of North Canton; his siblings, Noah Jones, Abigayle Jones, Kamryn (Jared) Kirk, Konner Flesher, Ava Flesher, Brynlee Jones and Baylee Jones; a niece, Roselynn Kirk; a nephew, Finley Kirk; his grandparents, Kathy and Wayne Jones of Vienna and Lori Little of Boardman; as well as his aunts and uncles, Brian Jones of Pittsburgh, Nathaniel (Blake) Woolhouse of Germany and Paul Sneddon of Columbiana. He also leaves many extended family members and countless friends.
