On Saturday, August 23rd, 2025, my son Samuel “Sneed” Ames passed away suddenly, leaving behind a grieving family and heartbroken community. Samuel was known for his vibrant spirit, his loyalty to those he loved, and the joy he brought into every room. His loss is deeply felt by all who knew him.

As his father, I’m now preparing to lay my son to rest—a task no parent should ever have to face alone. I’m asking for your support to help cover funeral expenses and give Samuel the dignified farewell he deserves.

I never imagined I’d be writing these words. Samuel was my heart—his laughter, his strength, his love for life. Losing him so suddenly has left me shattered. I’m asking for help not just to bury my son, but to honor him. Every donation, every share, every prayer means more than I can say. Thank you for standing with me.
