He Was a FAMILY MAN

THE MONKEES FRONTMAN FELT TRUE HAPPINESS SURROUNDED BY THE PEOPLE HE LOVED

Sarah Jones McFadden fondly remembers the day her young son caught his first fish with his grandpa Davy Jones. “With my dad, you basically learned by doing it,” Sarah tells Closer. 

“But Harrison did catch a fish. It was one of the coolest moments for my son — and my dad. Not to dismiss anything he felt for his four daughters, but my dad lived for his grandchildren.”

To his fans, Davy was the eternally youthful frontman for the Monkees. Many of the characteristics that endeared him to admirers — his accessibility, kindness and sense of humor — also charmed the people he loved most. “He was like a kid,” Davy’s widow, Jessica Pacheco, tells Closer. “He was just always being funny.”
