Donny Amos was my friend.  He was simultaniuosly the most irreverent , funniest single person I had known 

as a young man and the most genuine, faith-filled, honest one. He graduated Atlanta Christian College and

became a minister, married and became the loving father of five children who loved and respected him.  Life

changed as for many of us and he later enjoyed a career in business.  Donny died years later as the result of

injuries suffered when struck by a car while jogging(all from the spotty memory of an old friend who hopes 

others will correct if errors occur) .  This comment is entered because he deserves at least this much........

but on a lighter note : the scene is B- tam football, a pile-up mid field, a long, slim arm sticks out holding

the back of the jersey of a small ballcarrier running in place .....as Paul Wiley (55) ended Donny's hopes of

a touchdown

I just remember Donnie being like a breath of fresh air, always smiling and friendly. I'm so sorry to hear about

his accident, that is so sad. I know he is so missed by his family and friends.
