Rollo was a lumberjack, a rancher, and managed multiple farming operations in California and Utah for Brigham Young University, retiring after 30 years in 1992.

In 2001, Rollo and Cherril found their dream home in Palmyra, Utah, with plenty of room for grandkids, dogs, and mules. They loved camping and did so for weeks at a time until her illness in 2011. He cared for her night and day for many months allowing her to pass away in their cherished home surrounded by family in 2012.

In 2014, Rollo reconnected with an acquaintance, Marjorie, whom he met on his mission. He and Marjorie Burnett Hess married in August of that year, and enjoyed seven years together before her death in February 2021.

He is survived by his brother, Don Jones, of St. George, UT; his five children: Shelley Hawker (Paul) of Spanish Fork, UT; Teresa Minor (Mikel) of Spanish Fork, UT; Melanie Patten (Lonnie) of Salem, UT; Christi Bufton (Shaun) of Payson, UT; and Michael Jones (Marnie) of Highland, UT. He is proudly survived by 22 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, with one on the way.
