Christopher Dasean Jones

Christopher Dasean Jones was a 23‑year‑old member of the Winston‑Salem community whose life touched family, neighbors, and those who knew him on North Cleveland Avenue. Public records and contemporary reporting identify him by name and confirm that he died on March 28, 2014. Beyond these basic facts, the public record is limited.

What is clear is that Christopher was a young Black man living in a close‑knit neighborhood of Winston‑Salem at the time of his death. Local reporting from spring 2014 places his death amid a string of homicides that painfully affected many families and prompted community vigils and conversations about opportunities for young people. These broader community responses reflect the value residents placed on each lost life, including Christopher’s.

Because a family‑published obituary or funeral notice matching his full name and the exact date of death was not found in accessible public sources, intimate details about Christopher’s personal interests, work, schooling, or surviving relatives are not available to cite here. That absence of published personal remembrances does not lessen his humanity. Even with limited public detail, Christopher’s life mattered to those around him — friends, family, and neighbors — and his loss contributed to a community’s call for care and safer futures for young people.

This page honors Christopher by acknowledging his presence in Winston‑Salem and the sorrow felt by his community. If family members or close friends wish to provide additional memories, photos, or a family‑authorized notice, those materials would allow a fuller, more personal remembrance to be shared here.
