"The legendary LQ Jones (aka Justice Ellis McQueen) took his last ride into the sunset this morning," deGarces captioned his post. "He was at his sweet pad in the Hollywood Hills, surrounded by family, as he gave up the ghost. He made a son to be a dad for me, and gave a middle name for Romeo, and for that I am forever grateful. Thanks Mr. Jones, your family and fans will miss you."

Jones was born Justice Ellis McQueen Jr. Aug. 19, 1927, in Beaumont, Texas, the son of a railroad worker, The Hollywood Reporter revealed. When he was young, his mother Jessie was killed in an automobile accident and Jones was raised by relatives.
