Officer Down Memorial Page

I just wanted to take the time to reflect on your dedication and service to this great profession of law enforcement. You did it with a strong passion and greatness. Some people make the world special just by being in, I can see from the comments on this page you were one of those people. You and your career reminds me of a quote from Joseph Campbell…”A hero is someone who has given his life to something bigger than oneself.” I believe you cared more about others than you did about yourself and that is how you lived your life and career. Thank you for your service and the dedication to the people of North Carolina and citizens of Winston Salem. I see how much you were loved by reading the comments on this page, it makes me feel like I knew you even though we never met. The one thing I took from your page was that you wanted to help others and was an outstanding law enforcement officer, but more importantly, you were a family man and friend to all. I am a friend of your brother, Wendell Amos, who is a law enforcement officer at Thomasville Police Department. I have had the pleasure to have worked with him during the past two years. I know when you look down, you are really proud of him and what he has done during his career and the extraordinary law enforcement officer he has become. I have never worked with another law enforcement officer that is more driven and has his work ethic. I know that a part of you lives within him and that you are a strong influence on him, even though you have been gone for 17 years. Again, THANK YOU for your service and sacrifice, you will never be forgotten. I wanted to end by saying to the family of Stephen Amos, you will be in my thoughts and prayers this week. I am very sorry for your loss and God bless you. I believe It was Gods gain and this worlds loss with Stephen’s death…
