Condolences from our family in Alberta, and the University of Alberta Faculty of Medicine, to the family of Andrew Edward Jones. We have you in our prayers and thoughts, as we also struggle in our work among the sick. Your father was a noble man who helped the suffering and the sick. I hope that you remember the good times, and that you can Hope through Jesus, for the future.
So sorry for your loss we have just been told Dr Jones has passed away, I am a palliative Pt of Dr Jones and cannot believe he is no longer with us. He was very special for the time I had him caring for me. I am so sorry for your loss.
My sincere condolences to the entire Jones family. Andrew was a remarkable physician, teacher, and colleague. He was intelligent and witty. A laugh was generally a part of every conversation. He took patient care seriously, and I learned a great deal from him as a result. His passing is a loss to the entire community. Thinking of you all.
It’s impossible to put into words just how devastating of a loss this is to our community. I truly hope you knew just how much you kept everyone around you going. In addition to being the brilliant medical mind your patients needed, your infectious laugh and quick wit brought endless joy to those around you. Thank you for always being so approachable and there to lend an ear.
The other LHSC emergency nurses have already said it but I'll say it again: Jonsey was always a favourite to work with. Kind, efficient, and hilarious. I was a new grad one of the earliest doctors to make me feel like my judgement mattered, even if he thought I was quoting Aqua when I called him Dr. Jones. Words can't express what a loss his passing is to the medical community.
Thank you for all you taught me over the years. We were blessed to have you teach us mentor laugh and swear . Just got it done! What a great Family at LHSC Emergency Godspeed Andrew. My deepest heartfelt condolences to his Family
Having first met Andrew, in the hallways of the Old Victoria South Street Campus, we often have a great conversations about electronic house music and who was up and coming in the Detroit music scene. Will honestly miss those "chats" as the progressed to the LHSC Victoria and University Campus, ER departments over the years. A great man and will be missed.
As a coworker Dr. Jones was always concerned about everyone being treated professionally and with could put you at ease with his smile. He leaves a legacy of kindness, respect and dignity to everyone he cared for and worked with.
To Angela, Abigail, and Adrian. Please accept my sincere condolences on Andrew’s passing. May you find peace during this difficult time and take comfort in the fact that Andrew was loved by many. Andrew was my friend and I loved him. I was privileged to walk on this journey of life with him. We spent many moments together sharing life stories, and I will always cherish those moments. Goodbye my friend. You will remain forever in my heart.
Andrew and I were school mates and spent tons of time together in our teens. It’s amazing to see all the people’s lives he touches as a physician. May you rest in peace old boy. My prayers go to Andrew’s family.
Although it's been a long time this is heartbreaking. Andrew was one of the most brilliant people I've ever met and extremely kind. My heart breaks that this has happened. Life is so fragile and my heart goes out to the family London has lost an incredible physician. May his memory always be a blessing
So sad to hear this. Andrew was a talented and skilled ER Dr with a love for his profession and everyone around him. One of my faves. He was always there when needed and ALWAYS had my back in stressful situations. Always friendly and fun in quiet times making us laugh when it was needed. RIP .💔there won't be another Andrew Jones
So sorry to learn of Andrew's passing and warm condolences to his family.. Andrew was such a caring and compassionate man and physician... It was a pleasure working with him over the years and I know he will be missed...
Jonesy was an exceptional human; a brilliant and compassionate physician, advocate, teacher, and collaborator. Every shift I worked with him was full of laughs, education, and excellent care. I will never forget his support and respect he had for all ED staff, and his kindness to everyone he encountered. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from him, and I know that he has had an impact on my practice. My deepest condolences to Angela, Adrian, and Abigail at this tremendous loss. Rest easy, Andrew, you will be missed.
It was a privilege and pleasure having had the opportunity to work with Andrew for 15 years. When I walked into work and saw he was working it always made me feel happy to be there getting to enjoy all he had to offer to his patients and coworkers. He was a compassionate man, a kind man, and really funny! He was also extremely intelligent and knowledgefull. He made you feel like part of a team and respected your opinions and always asked for help when needed from nurses to clerical staff and other peers. He could admit when he needed help and had no fear in asking. This is what made him the amazing doctor he was. Again, when I saw he was working, it made my day and made my shift enjoyable. His laughter and quirkiness was infectious not just to us but to patients as well. He was a healer and an empath to many. I am just devastated by this news and am so sorry to his family and people that were close to him. We will all miss him. You were my favorite Dr. Jones, my utmost respect to you and may you rest peacefully.
It was a pleasure to work with such a kind and learned man. All the best on your travels, Dr. Jones.
What a loss! Andrew was an energetic, incredibly intelligent, thoughtful, realistic, funny, helpful, and sometimes, when appropriate, just a little bit irreverent. He was an excellent physician and his knowledge of computers and IT was a huge help to many of us, both at home and at work. I am grateful for having known him and worked with him both in London and at Four Counties, where he was a faithful regular for the last 20 years. He will be missed by many. My sincere condolences to Angela, Adrian and Abigail and all his extended family.
Hearing this sad and shocking news took me back to my younger years when you would come over and hang out with the boys at our family home. Always ready to discuss music and tell me your new favourite song, funny, smart, kind and thoughtful. This is how I will always remember you. You were like family. The world has lost a great soul. Rest in peace. Condolences to your family, I’m thinking of you all and hoping you find peace in your hearts.
What heartbreaking news. My sympathies especially to Angela, his children and to those closest to him. I can honestly say that Jonesy was a favourite to pretty much every nurse who worked with him. He had a unique way of collaborating with you that made you feel like your opinion was valuable. He was hilarious, extremely intelligent and very empathetic. There was no one like him. What a huge loss.
I’ll always remember the days of playing video games, riding our bikes and listening to music. Driving around, going to clubs and concerts, and of course going to cheers for a beer. Christmas, birthdays, weddings and funerals, but even though we lived in different cities when we spoke it was like no time at all had passed. I’ll miss the annual birthday and Christmas messages, because that’s all it took to know that we were doing ok. I’ll miss you brother, for 40 years you were more than a friend, you were my family.
Rest easy Jonesy. You were one of the good ones. I feel fortunate to have spent many nights together working in the ED and learning from you. Your genuine compassion for everyone was unmatched and you truly made an impact on those you met. Deepest condolences to your family and friends and I know all of us who worked with him carry a piece of his compassion in our own practice.
Andrew was an amazing person. A real loss for so many in the community. I’m blessed that our paths crossed in this lifetime❤️ Deepest condolences to the family🙏🏽
As a consulting service for emerg, I have been around long enough to remember Andrew as an off-service resident spending a month with us. He immediately stood out-- a bit edgy but smart, committed and an astute clinician. Asked very good questions. Great sense of humour which is always appreciated in medicine. Then, as a consultant, he was always committed to patients and if he wanted you to see a patient sooner than later, it was for a good reason. His loss comes far, far too early. Sincere condolences to his family.
You showed everyone your compassion, dedication, and determination. You looked beyond your role as an ER Physician to find solutions for myself and so many others in our community. You made everyone working alongside you feel valued, supported, and inspired. I've worked many years as an ECG Tech on nights at Vic; the best ones were always when Jones was on. You left us with so many happy memories to hold on to. My heart goes out to your family, who have lost an extraordinary man - a loving husband, father, and friend, as well as an exceptional physician. May you find comfort in the memories and moments that will forever be yours. RIP Jones.
My deepest condolences to Andrew’s family. He could make a shift fly by with his direct approach, sharp sense of humour and his willingness to help/listen. So grateful for the chance to work alongside Jonesy who showed us that making yourself vulnerable can be a strength. Wishing you comfort and peace during this difficult time.
My deepest condolences to Andrew’s family and friends. This world has lost a generous soul, as a Doctor and a human being. It was a pleasure to work with him. He always treated patient and staff with respect and compassion. I will especially miss conversations with him and his sense of humor! Rest well Andrew.
I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Jones for over 10 years on the night shift at Vic Emerg. I always looked forward to his shifts and the joy and laughter he brought with him. As an Emerg Nurse you always knew he had your back! All of his Vic Emerg Family past and present will forever miss his smile, laughter, wit, and the care he provided for his patients.
Jonesy always brought me a smile on nightshirt handover with some story or tale from the events of the evening. Brilliant, quirky, skeptical …all balanced out with incredible warmth, compassion and empathy for his patients and us as colleagues. A true and genuine portrait of what is means to be a great physician. I will miss his large personality, kindness, and the atmosphere he created. Such a tremendous loss for our team. My deepest condolences to his family and closest friends.
Very sorry to learn of Andrew's passing, heartfelt condolences to Angela and the kids. Jonesy was a smart, to the point kind of person, great sarcastic wit, but he was also a great physician. He cared about his patients, revelled in the chaos of the Vic ER, and was an advocate for Londoners seeking care. Will be sorely missed, such a loss for our ER group and community.
I’m going to miss you a lot, Jonesy. I can still hear your voice before Ive entered the department. I can still hear you laughing and bringing us all along with you. You were smart, you were kind, you were well loved. Most of all, you were unapologetically you. Nobody could ever be you, and I’ll never meet anybody like you again. You were loud. You were present. You were a glue person, holding us together, even if you didn’t know it. Thank you for teaching me so much, and for being an excellent friend. We didn’t tell you enough while you were here. We love you.
My deepest condolences Angela Adrian and Abigail. So sorry to hear of your loss. Thinking of you all at this difficult time
I went to high school with Andrew. A fellow “Scarb” - we bonded on those routes. Have not seen Andrew since we graduated but I wanted to send my condolences to his wife and family. Very sorry for your loss. Roger
I am saddened for Dr. Jone’s family and the community of health care providers and London. He was a great doctor that took his time and really cared for his patients. It was an absolute blessing to have worked with him in the community. He will be greatly missed in the community.
I am glad that I had the opportunity to work with you Dr. Jones. You were a lovely soul. You took the time to listen, you were kind and jovial. Dr. Jones made the work place fun even in stressful times. He will be missed. My deepest condolences to his beloved family and friends.
He took care of my mom at home during her final days and was so kind to us all. He provided us all comfort and his kindness will never be forgotten
Dr. Jones was a kind, caring, and skilled clinician I had the honour of learning from when I was a resident over a decade ago. Even still, I think back fondly of working with him in the ER.
I was so very saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Jones. He was so fun to work with and was so kind. Always honest with his patients. He will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to his family.
I had the privilege of working with Dr Jones as a nurse for the past 17 years. He was one of the best, a great clinician who wore his heart on his sleeve never afraid to be human and admit he didn’t have all the answers. He had empathy for suffering of all kinds and always treated patients with the respect and dignity they deserved. If we could all just be a little more like Dr Jones the world would be a better place. Condolences to his family at this difficult time.
My deepest condolences to all that knew and loved Andrew.

I remember the fist time I met Dr. Jones, coming into his night shift, he was so... animated. I was like WHO is this guy? I learned quickly that he was very raw, witty, hilarious, and of course intelligent. I've never met a doctor like him and I don't think I ever will again. His personality was larger than life. He was always a pleasure to work with. My condolences to everyone that was close to him. Rest easy, Dr. Jones.
Andrew's family and friends As a friend of the family, I have heard so many wonderful things about Andrew over the years and was shocked to hear of his tragic, unexpected passing. I am so sorry. I send my heartfelt condolences to all of you who knew him and loved him.
Devastating news heartbreaking to say the least. Blessings to the families both close & extended. Jones was something you knew when he entered the ER and made his presence. His voice, his walk, his style and yes black jeans made him unique but didn’t take away from him being a great person and Doc. Truly a good one in all ways in life. Helped many and taught many a legacy that will live forever. Take care Jones & rest easy you will be missed.
I am heartbroken to hear of your passing. I have so many fond memories of working with you in the ED! Such a great physician, and always so funny to work with. I'll always remember your honesty and realness in everything you did. My condolences to the family. Rest in Power Andrew .
An outstanding physician, fierce advocate for his ED colleagues and patients, and just an all around great guy and fun person to be around. I had some brilliant discussions with him over the years that have had an important impact on my clinical practice both within and outside of the ED. I will miss him deeply.
Dr. Andrew was an outstanding physician with whom I had the privilege of working in palliative care. We collaborated extensively, providing support to some of the most vulnerable individuals in our community. His dedication to his colleagues and peers was remarkable, and his absence will be deeply felt. My heartfelt condolences go out to his wife, children, and all those who considered him a friend and family.
Our deepest condolences Angela, Adrian, and Abigail. You are all in our thoughts. Jorge had the chance to know Andrew in the professional and personal setting and he was just a great guy.
There are no words. You will be missed by all. It was a pleasure to have known and worked alongside you. You have touched the lives of millions throughout your journey. What a loss for Our community. I hope you know how much you were loved.
I am sure everyone who has ever worked with Andrew has a story to tell and those stories bring a laugh and a smile. It was a privilege to have known and worked with him. My condolences to his Family and the entire Emerg Community; May his bright light shine a little on us all 🙏🏻
I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending my condolences 🙏 to you and your beautiful family... Take care of each other God bless...
We are so saddened to hear of this deep loss. We will remember with fondness the early days of balancing careers and young kids. Andrew’s sense of humour and wide range of passions extending beyond medicine is so admirable. Dear Angela and Adrian and Abigail, you are in our thoughts and sending you our deepest condolences.
I always knew my patients would be in excellent hands, when I passed them over to Dr. Jones in the ED. Alway bright and caring, booming voice, and bright smile. Grateful to have worked with such a person. Wishing his family well and surrounded by positive memories. Rest easy Jonesy.
I too was so fortunate to have known and worked alongside Jonesy at Vic ER night shifts for many years. He was such a pleasure to work with. You knew it would be a smooth night under his reigns. Such a kind, patient, and overall genuine human being. He'll be missed. Sending his family, and all who had the privilege of knowing him my deepest condolences. Rest in peace Jonesy.
It has been with upmost pleasure to have worked with Jonesy, from my first shift at the old South Street hole. He was just a young R3 at the time. He matured into his own and anyone that he touched, treated, worked with or was colleague is better to have known him. Your smarts, creativity, compassion and dry sense of humor will never be forgotten. Deepest condolences to his family and all friends. Rebecca.
I always enjoyed his wit and sarcasm; was definitely needed on some of those tough days. There will be a giant hole in the ED’s of London. “Dr. Jones, Dr. Jones, calling Dr. Jones, Dr. Jones, Dr. Jones get up now, wake up now…” the song by Aqua that always popped into my head when I saw him. I will still hear this song and smile. Sending all my love to his family and his ER family.
It was a pleasure to serve alongside Jonesy in the trenches of Vic ED on a night shift. The loss of such a great physician to our department is immeasurable. Rest easy my friend. My condolences and prayers to his family during this incredibly difficult time.
I have fond memories of looking at the doc schedule and being relieved to see your name for the coming night - knowing you’d be efficient smart and caring - treating the team, no matter who they were, with respect- you are missed
Full of character & empathy, matched with a keen mind and matching wit, I found myself privileged to have worked under his resolute approach to caring for those in health crisis and beyond. My condolences to the entire family & to all friends of Jonesy.
Truly professional at his work and how he conducted himself while always doing with humor, smile and more! Rest Easy Your work will never be forgotten and the helping hand your provided people, families and more!!
Jonesy was one of a kind. He will forever be one of my favourite doctors I have had the opportunity to work with as an ER nurse. His humour always had us laughing even during the hardest times in the Emergency Department. We could always count on him to lighten the mood and get us smiling. My heart breaks for all of you. Sending lots of love.
My condolences to Andrew Jones’ family and friends. What a privilege it was working alongside him in Victoria emergency department.
Andrew was a beautiful man and a beautiful friend. he always treated me with dignity and campassion regardless of the state i was in. he was amazing in so many ways. rest in peace edward Kersten
Andrew was my Best Friend 💜 He saved my life... and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for his caring, love, acceptance and compassion. I could ALWAYS count on him No-matter-what. I miss you more than words on a page could ever say, and if GOD could collect all the tears that are being shed by everyone who new and loved you,... well my friend, we would have a new ocean! You made a huge impact in this world and I will miss you every single day. Till we meet again! Love Kimmy
I was deeply saddened to hear about Andrew's passing. He was a person of remarkable depth and intellect, whose cynicism was always accompanied by a genuine appreciation for the value of meaningful research in emergency medicine. He hated it, but was always supportive ;) His unique perspective and support were both rare and invaluable. He will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Angela, Adrian and Abigail, please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. My thoughts are with you and your family.
My deepest condolences to Andrew’s family and friends. I always enjoyed working with him at Vic ED and he will be greatly missed.
