“We are terribly sad to learn from the sudden death of Arthur Jones,” NFL General Manager Eric Decosta wrote in a public statement. “Arthur’s presence was a gift for everyone he encountered. His big, clear smile, infectious energy and eternal positivity created a presence that continuously raised others.
“He was friendly, courteous and enthusiastic – always showing a love of family, teammates and friends,” Decosta added. “We send our deepest condolences to the Jones family and everyone who loved Arthur.”
