Samuel Tipton Jones II who practiced law in Chattanooga for more than four decades, died Friday at his home. He was 72. After fighting – and beating – cancer several years ago, the disease recently reemerged. As a young man, Jones was an officer in the U.S. Army. After attending law school at the University of Tennessee and passing the bar exam, he displayed his “convention-defying nature” by leaving for a lengthy skiing hiatus and work as a casino dealer in Lake Tahoe. Jones later returned to Chattanooga to establish a law practice, specializing in medical malpractice. A celebration of life will be held at a date to be announced. Memorial gifts may be given to the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church, 1505 North Moore Rd., Chattanooga 37411 or to the YMCA of Chattanooga, 301 West 6th St., Chattanooga 37402.
