In Memoriam
Dr. John Jones
Dr. John Duane Jones was a one-of-kind orthodontist
who dedicated his life to his family, patients,
and residents at the University of California, Los
Angeles (UCLA). Born in 1939 in Arizona, Dr. Jones
grew up in a household that emphasized responsibility
and hard work from a young age. He sought
out challenges and was not afraid to work tirelessly
toward the pursuit of his goals-attributes that he
still embraced to the end of his life.
Dr. Jones received his undergraduate degree from
Arizona State University and his dental degree
from the University of California, San Francisco.
Over his career of 54 years, Dr. Jones treated tens
of thousands of patients in his private practice
and as a member of the St. Joseph's Hospital
Craniofacial Team in Phoenix, Arizona. He was a
member of the American Dental Association, the
Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists, the College
of Diplomates of the American Board of Orthodontics,
the Arizona Orthodontic Study Group,
and the Southwest component of the Angle
Society, where he served as president from 1987
to 1989.
All of us had the great privilege of training under
Dr. Jones as he stepped up to serve as our interim
program director and clinic director after being a
clinical educator at UCLA for more than 20 years.
Dr. Jones was beloved by all his patients and all
the residents-every time he would come up to
see a patient, he would give them a gentle slug on
the arm or shake of the shoulders and say, " How're
you doing, kiddo? " He always checked on how his
patients were doing in school or in life before he
checked on their teeth, and everyone knew he
genuinely cared about them. The parents of all our
patients loved Dr. Jones and how he treated their
children.
We were blessed to learn from Dr. Jones every week
for most of our residency during his diagnosis and
treatment-planning seminars. He would always
advise us to treat each patient as we would our own
son or daughter. If plans were proposed that were
unattainable, he would remind us of the KISS principle- " keep
it simple, stupid " -and push us to find
a simple and efficient solution. His dedication to us
and our program was evident through his actions
as he flew from Arizona to California every Monday
morning, taught us and covered in the clinic
for Monday and Tuesday, then flew back home to
Arizona on Tuesday evening.
Dr. Jones neither expected nor wanted fame or accolades;
what really motivated him was taking care
of his " kids, " a term he lovingly used not only for his
own children but also for us as his residents and the
patients we treated. We will always remember him
reflecting on his own life, telling us, " One hundred
years from now, it will not matter what my bank
account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind
of car I drove. But the world may be better because I
made a difference in the life of a child. " It is powerful
to know that the wisdom Dr. Jones imparted to us
will help us create smiles that will be enjoyed for
years to come.
Dr. John Duane Jones passed away on October 22,
2022, leaving behind a legacy of his unwavering
commitment to his principles. As a husband, father,
and orthodontist, he embodied the epitome of
kindness and compassion. Although his absence is
deeply felt, his spirit will serve as a source of inspiration
for many. May his soul rest in peace.
