Charles Lee “Charlie” Jones, 52, of Cheyenne, was born on April 7, 1972, in Springfield, Missouri, had passed away in Cheyenne Wyoming on September 2, 2024.
Charlie grew up in Nixa, Missouri, where he attended high school and played as a running back on the football team. He was selected to attend college at the United States Air Force Academy and graduated in 1995. After graduation, he served in the missile field and was stationed in Cheyenne, Wyoming. In 2002 he left his military service to serve in law enforcement as an agent in the Federal Bureau of Investigation. His career and life choices took him places all over the world, but he always wanted to come back to Wyoming. He finally got that chance in 2017 when he became the Supervising Senior Agent for all the Wyoming Field Offices. He retired from the Federal Bureau of Investigation in November 2022. Charlie would not sit still for long and made a full circle back to the Air Force working as a civilian contractor.
Charlie loved being outdoors, whether it was in the mountains at the family cabin feeding peanuts to the chipmunks or in the elk woods hunting. Charlie was a huge sports fan. While stationed in Germany he learned how to play rugby. He loved rugby so much that he became a referee and was refereeing at the collegiate level. He also enjoyed playing cards with his friends.
He is survived by his wife, Tammy Jones; two sons, Jake Jones and Josh Jones; Father and Stepmother, Al and Beth Jones, two grandsons, Jameson and Klay Jones, Sister, Melissa Starnes and countless friends who he considered part of his family.
Charlie was preceded in death by his mother, Cyndi Ayers.
