Karl grew up in Fort Hall, Idaho and moved to Lehi in the 7th grade.  In high school he excelled in math and science and was the sports athletic manager.
When he was a senior in high school he met the love of his life, Ramona Hunsaker.  They were married in the Logan Temple on August 12, 1948.  They enjoyed 70 wonderful years together.  They were blessed with 7 children (Brian, Karen, Deanne, Grant, Mary Ellen, Kathleen, and Dennis), 37 grandchildren, 97 great-grandchildren (and counting) who all loved him dearly.
He graduated from BYU with his Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and earned a Master’s degree from San Jose State College.  In 1977 he was awarded the Mathematics Educator Award, which was later re-named the Karl G. Jones Award.
Karl enjoyed anything outdoors.  He loved hiking in southern Utah and hiked Mt. Timpanogos many times.  He had a love of sports and played catcher on a men’s fast-pitch softball team.
He loved music…playing coronet, violin, mandolin, the harmonica, conducted and sung in choirs and called out commands for square dancing.
Missionary work was important to him.  He served as a ward and stake missionary for many years and also served 8 full time missions with Ramona.  He also loved serving in the Jordan River Temple.
