    Duane (Peewee) Jones

    June 1, 2022

    Duane (Peewee ) Jones, 85, died June 8. Having never been married, Duane is preceded in death by his parents, Roy and Louise Jones, and his brother Don. Duane is survived by his sister, Diane (Dale) Melton and a large clan of aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was a life-long resident of Sarasota, Florida. He graduated from Sarasota High School in 1955. He was one of the first performers of the Sarasota Sailor Circus. He was a tumbler and trampoline performer. He worked several years at the Circus Hall of Fame, practicing acrobatics his whole life. His main focus was being a lifeguard at the Sarasota Beach where he worked for the City for 30 years. He often joked that he taught every kid and their kids in Sarasota how to swim. Also as an adult, Duane pursued the Martial art of Aikido, attaining several degrees of black belt. Practicing Aikido and teaching students the art of Aikido was the passion of Duane’s life and he touched many lives through Aikido. Duane was a loyal and kind friend to many and he will surely be missed. As per Duane’s wishes, there will be no service.
