Christopher Lee Ames, 49 of Clayton, NC was welcomed home into the arms of his Lord and Savior on Thursday March 28, 2024. He was preceded in death by his parents Frank Ames and Barbara Kirkey and his sister Nicole Endres. In 2010 Christopher married the love of his life Shelia Bailey and the two built a fun and wonderful life together often surrounded by family and friends. Left to cherish his memory are his children Amanda & Lee Frostad of Black River, NY; Brandon Ames of Dayton, OH and Jordan Ames of Clayton, NC. He will also be fondly remember by his brothers Pete & Carol Ames of Dansville, NY and Eric & Jennifer Ames of Dexter, NY. Christopher had 2 grandchildren; 15 nieces and nephews and multiple cousins that were more like siblings.
Christopher and Shelia loved watching with Cane's games with Mark and Mer; spending time camping and enjoying hosting countless parties and gatherings. Christopher had a love and passion for music and cooking that he shared with everyone. He never passed up on a chance to solve a crazy riddle or laugh at his own dumb dad jokes (a trait he shared with his brother Pete). Christopher created a safe and welcoming home where everyone knew they had a place; his love was welcoming and he served as mentor and father figure to many along his journey. He was always willing to share anything he had and would go without so others didn't have to. Christopher loved big and deep and you never questioned where you stood with him. He raised all kinds of things….. Kids, dogs, plants, gardens, the roof and even his little brother.
Services will be held on Monday at 11am at Seven Marks Church; 3500 Spring Forest Road, Raleigh NC 27616
