TRESCOTT – Joseph Floyd Jones, 28, passed away very unexpectedly at sea Oct. 20, 2009, while doing what he loved to do, fishing aboard his boat, The Bottom Basher. Joseph was born Oct. 24, 1980, in Machias. He graduated from Lubec High School in 1998. Joseph married his soul mate, Lisa Lynn (Fitzsimmons), May 12, 2000. The happiest day of his life was May 29, 2005, when his daughter, Daisy Jo, was born. In 2006 Joseph fulfilled his dream and purchased his own fishing boat and became his own employer. Joseph was an extremely hard worker and was always finding ways to provide for his family by fishing, wrinkling, clamming and carpentry work. Joseph was an avid outdoorsman and loved to hunt both big and small game. He also loved to fish recreationally in both fresh water and in the sea. When not in the woods, Joseph spent his time with his daughter, family and friends. Joseph was predeceased by his uncle, Ricky Jones; grandfather, Leo Shuck; and his cousin, Noah Schuck. Joseph is survived by his best friend and loving wife, Lisa (Fitzsimmons); daughter, Daisy Jo; and parents, Jeff and Lori Jones, and Linda and Allen Huntley. He will be missed by his siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and family. Joseph’s family expresses their deepest condolences to the families of Darrel Cline and Norman Johnson who also lost their lives to the sea aboard The Bottom Basher.
