A Dallas Booker T. graduate, Daniel Jones was a big source of Dallas pride.

“Surround yourself around greatness,” he said, “and stay connected to young artists to keep it fresh."

“Back then I learned that I just had to sit at somebody’s feet and learn, and so it’s always good to give back,” Jones told WFAA while in Dallas. “Persistence, staying humble, showing up on time and being prepared, and I would tell any young musician or young artist, find a good mentor.” Jones began shaping his gifts with musicians when he was growing up. His grandmother, grandfather, aunts, uncles and cousins were all musically inclined and inspired him — along with Prince — to follow his own path.

Jones’ wife shared news of her husband’s death Wednesday on Facebook. “I am speechless … I am heartbroken … I am lost … My husband Daniel Jones, my best friend, my headache, my confidante … I truly do not understand. I know God doesn’t make mistakes … but why?”
