Clarence Amons
Clarence Leroy Amons departed this life on January 17, 2025, at the age of eighty years, six months, and twenty-four days.
He was born on June 24, 1944, in Attica, Ohio, to the late Odis Wesley Amons and Cora Ann Wade Amons. Leroy’s life was marked by deep love and enduring family bonds. He was reunited in eternal rest with his beloved wife of thirty-four years, Rebecca Sue Daniels Amons; his son, Jeffery Allen Amons; great-grandchild, Jace Dean Amons; brothers, Johnny Cole Amons and Odis Wesley Amons, Jr.; his sisters, Teena Long and Ella Watson; and brothers-in-law, Charlie Manning and Harvey Goolsby. Their memories live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved them.
A hardworking and dedicated man, Leroy built and operated his own drywall business for nearly four decades. His work ethic and craftsmanship were a testament to his determination and pride in his trade. Beyond his professional life, Leroy was a man of faith, attending Testament Primitive Baptist Church, and he found camaraderie as a member of the Trail Riders Association. In his younger years, Leroy’s adventurous spirit led him to the open roads on motorcycles. He also enjoyed riding 4-wheelers. His love for the outdoors was evident in his passion for horses, hunting, and fishing. Yet, nothing brought Leroy more joy than family gatherings and spending time with grandchildren.
His warm presence and storytelling were the heart of these cherished moments. In his later years, Leroy found comfort in the simple pleasures of life, often enjoying his favorite westerns on television. His quiet strength and unwavering love leave a lasting legacy. Though Leroy is no longer with us, his spirit lives on in the countless lives he touched. Today, we celebrate a life well-lived and a man deeply loved. May we find comfort in our memories and peace in knowing he rests in eternal light.
