We regret to inform you, our brothers and sisters, about the passing of Brother Herschel D. Jones, Jr. on May 25, 2026. Brother Herschel D. Jones, Jr. proudly served 25 years in the United States Air Force, retiring as a Senior Master Sergeant after a distinguished military career. Following his retirement, he began his second career with the United States Postal Service as a letter carrier in Concord, California.
Full Military Honors for Brother Herschel D. Jones, Jr. will be held on Friday, July 24, at 9:00 a.m. at Sacramento Valley National Cemetery, 5810 Midway Road, Dixon, CA.
Brother Jones honorably served the members of NALC Branch #1111 in many leadership roles, including Chief Steward in Concord, the Bay Valley District's first Dispute Resolution Team (DRT) member, Trustee, Executive Council member, and Full-Time Officer (FTO).
A relentless and fearless advocate, Brother Jones dedicated himself to protecting the rights of letter carriers. His leadership and mentorship were instrumental in developing generations of Concord Shop Stewards and Chief Stewards who went on to serve as Full-Time Officers and Dispute Resolution Team members for Branch #1111.
Brother Herschel Jones will be deeply missed by his coworkers in Concord, his union family of Shop Stewards, Dispute Resolution Team members, and Branch Officers, both past and present. On behalf of the members of Branch #1111, we extend our deepest gratitude for his extraordinary service to our nation, his unwavering commitment to the National Association of Letter Carriers, and his steadfast dedication to the members of Branch #1111. His legacy of service, leadership, and brotherhood will continue to inspire those who had the privilege of serving alongside him.
