Amos "Fame" Dee Hobbs

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

John 14: 1-3

Amos Dee Hobbs "Fame" 60, of 51 Tornado Lane, departed this life on Friday, July 26, 2024 at his home. Amos was born on October 27, 1963 to Lillian Ruth Williams Hobbs and the late Delort Hobbs in Sampson County, NC. 

Amos received his education at Hargrove Elementary, Halls Piney Grove and graduated from Hobbton High School in 1982. He joined Union Grove Freewill Baptist Church at an early age. Amos always loved working on the farm. He did work for Carolina Turkey and Lundy's. But Amos was not satisfied with stopping there. Amos left and began working with George Thornton Farm. Later he joined Warren Farming until his health began to fail him.

Amos met a sweetheart, Robin Montgomery, and from this relationship his precious baby girl, Sammantha, was born. Amos loved the Lord, so later in life he accepted Jesus as his personal savior. He started back attending fellowship at Union Grove and Piney Green Disciple Church. A couple of his favorite gospel groups included Michael Boykin & The Mighty Voices of Clinton, NC and Willie Neal Johnson & The Gospel Keynotes.
