Help Bring Byron “Gene” Jones Home – Support the Search Efforts

We urgently need your help.

Byron “Gene” Jones, an 85-year-old husband, father, and beloved member of our community, has been missing since Monday night. Gene, who suffers from cognitive impairment due to dementia, left his home in Canton, GA, driving his wife’s dark blue Toyota Camry.

He was last seen in Jasper, GA between 7:40 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. on

Monday, April 21, 2025.

Gene is the father of Pastor Craig Jones of Abiding Church in Woodstock, Ga.

Since his disappearance, Pastor Craig—along with His Brothers, their Families, friends, church members, and countless volunteers—have been searching day and night to bring Gene home safely.

The search now spans North Georgia and parts of Tennessee and North Carolina, with the search growing more urgent each day due to Gene's medical Condition.

Many people have asked how they can help. In response, this GoFundMe has been created to support both the active search and the family’s ongoing needs during this incredibly difficult time.
