Our deepest sympathy to all the family. Amos was such a friendly man. Always said Hi when he seen you. May your sweet memories comfort you at this time and the days to come.
Praying for family and friends for comfort, Amos was a great man always put a smile on my face when I seen him at church before he got put in the nursing home. When I worked at the nursing home with him he would always have a smile on his face and it would put a smile on my face as well.
Praying for you and your family !! Love y’all !! Carrie Taylor.
We met Amos while visiting my father at Highland Court in Marshall. We send our condolences to the family.
Words escape me when it comes to Amos except to say he filled my heart with love…and his stories…those magical stories 🥰 included everything from he as a boy to his time in service.

So sorry for your loss. We loved Amos so much. We love you guys too.
I am sorry to hear of his passing. I have fond memories of him. I remember Amos pastoring Morning Star Baptist church when I was a little girl. We would go to church some out there and I thought he was a kind man and always nice to my dad (R.C. Reid). He was married to my granny Reid’s sister Madge and I remember them visiting granny occasionally. They always seemed happy. He was a good man. Prayers for the family.
A man who will never be forgotten because of his sacrifice for this country. No more battles to be fought because the Victory has been won. God bless the family!
