Amos attended elementary school in the Bethel Community and in Dallas, Texas. He attended high school at Massey Lake High in the Massey Lake Community and Green Bay High School in Tucker, Texas.
Amos retired from the City of Dallas as a electrician and returned to Yard, Texas to be near his cousins and friends.
