The Madison community is in mourning as it remembers its beloved pastor, mentor, coach, public defender, fraternity brother, and community leader, Rev. Richard Jones Sr., who passed away on Nov. 16 at the age of 61. Rev. Jones, who spent almost a decade serving as the senior pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Madison’s largest Black church, was well-known in Madison for his generosity, kindness, and compassion.
Pastor Jones left an indelible mark on the church and the Madison community, says Dr. Rev. Marcus Allen, the current senior pastor at Mt. Zion Baptist Church.
