Amos was born on October 30, 1932 in New Hope, AR to Walter and Blanche Brown. He served in the Army National Guard in Louisiana and Texas. He was a member of Eastwood Baptist Church and the Masonic Lodge. He worked for Continental Airlines, Rockwell, but ultimately landed at American Airlines as his final career destination. At American Airlines, Amos became an Aircraft Mechanic in the Composite Shop where he earned his nickname Ornery Amos. He begrudgingly retired in April of 2005 at the age of 72. He enjoyed working on lawnmowers, hunting, fishing, camping and gardening. He loved western novels, tv shows and movies. Amos cherished his family and life long friends and enjoyed making people laugh. His spunky, flirtatious personality combined with his ability to love deeply and truly will be missed.
