Ron Jones
- Baylor Legacy Award
Awarded to individuals who demonstrate extraordinary service and philanthropy to Baylor or to causes that fit our mission as a Christian university.
Ron Jones carries an abiding appreciation for the shared values that form the heart of his family's legacy and connection to Baylor. The Jones Family lives with a generous spirit that honors their predecessors. Ron’s parents, Johnny and Wilma Jones, began the Jones family legacy at Baylor. As the family business, The Whitley Company, grew into one of the most successful printing companies in the state, the Joneses generously provided college tuition expenses for their employees' children, financed the drilling of water wells and built food stations in Malawi, and supported Trinity Center, a homeless ministry. Ron, now president of RHJ Family Investments LP and of the Whitley Charitable Foundation, continues to fund scholarships and has supported numerous Baylor priorities, including McLane Stadium, Hankamer School of Business and Truett Seminary.
