Called me up not long ago, wanting to give me my violin back... He was in ill health, and a very close friend. He called me any time he needed fiddle or violin work, and played one of my violins from a few years ago... then we'd just sit and BS for a while. He played very accomplished violin, jazz fiddle, and country music. He would often come over to the house, and entertain my wife and I, back when he was in the full swing of life. Jon Alan “Doc” Meeks died unexpectedly in Roswell, New Mexico on June 9, 2015 at the age of 72. Doc is survived by his wife, Betty Ann Meeks, daughter Darcy Naylor and husband Shannon Naylor, son Jack Meeks and wife Rebecca Meeks, daughter Sara Daulong and husband Sammy Daulong and daughter Laura Meeks. Of those who called him Poppa are: etc. Bye Doc - love you, my friend. Your friends Mary and Craig
