Winiford Lee Ammons

Winiford Lee Ammons, born September 26, 1958, forever creating laughter and memories in our thoughts, love and footprints in our hearts, and encouragement and kindness in our souls. Lee was never short on sarcasm, snide comments and come backs! He always let others know what he thought and felt whether they wanted him to or not! What a lot of people didn't know is that it was usually to protect them from themselves or others, to help them see things from a different perspective... or just to get a jab in and make them laugh. He would say, "watch this," point and snicker and then make a statement about someone just to get a rise out of them and just laugh! He came off to some as rude and unruly... maybe a little rough around the edges... but those who truly knew him, knew that his intentions were always pure and came from a place of servitude and help. He was a guide to many of his family, friends, and loved ones. He didn't just tell people what they wanted to hear, but rather what they needed to hear instead... true, solid advice. There was no lack of communication on his part! Lee's heart was kind and courteous, he was always quick to lend a helping hand and had a righteous expectation for others to do the same... he would give anyone the shirt off of his back and find a way to help those who needed it regardless of how it may affect him. He was selfless in so many ways. He taught his children (that includes children that were raised with and around his own) right from wrong and encouraged them to follow their hearts and would do anything to help make their dreams come true. He was never short on wise lectures and lessons! Lee was proud of his kids, his wife, and his life. He created a life for himself and worked every day to leave a legacy for his family. He was fearless and could do anything. His ability to make anything happen was always impressive and astonishing! To many, he was looked at as a man of steel, a Superman. He was a protector and a provider; keeping others safe and off the streets and making sure we had something to eat... not eggs though, never let him cook you eggs! More like a fast food meal, nonetheless, still a meal. From his rough exterior, people may have never knew how much his family meant to him. He made sure that we always stuck together, took care of and looked out for one another, and was always there for us regardless of how much he worked. Time with his family and their happiness was always a priority. He made time for us even if he didn't feel like he had it. Even if we were helping him on a roof, helping him plumb a house or just riding around with him to collect rent, we were together... and that is what mattered most. Lee did not let life just go by, he took the reins and lived with intention EVERY SINGLE DAY and he wanted the same for the people he loved. To an amazing friend, son, sibling, husband and father; you will forever be missed but never forgotten and your legacy will live on through all of the lives that you will continue to impact... "when you create a difference in someone's life, you not only impact their life, you impact everyone influenced by them throughout their entire lifetime; no act is ever too small" and that is how you will live on forever. We love you. Funeral service will be held at Serenity Funeral Home on Thursday, December 19, 2019 at 12 noon with visitation from 10 am until service time. Interment will be in Serenity Memorial Gardens.
