Amos S. Downing, 52, of Berlin Heights, passed away unexpectedly Thursday July 13, 2023 at his home.
He was born on October 11, 1970 in Norwalk, Ohio to Gerald "Jerry' Downing and Erin "Gail" (Davidson) Bartle.
Amos graduated in 1989 from Norwalk High School. He was employed as a machinist at Alco Manufacturing in Elyria where he met his mentor and close friend of 30 years; Bill Urbanski. Amos was known for his big smile, huge heart, and willingness to help others. His pride and joy were his sons Amos "Wyatt" and Simon. He shared his passion and knowledge of hunting and fishing with them. He enjoyed watching and supporting his boys in their adventures. Amos enjoyed following all Cleveland professional sports teams especially the Browns. He loved having pets throughout his life and leaves behind his beloved fat cat, Frankie, that acts more like a dog than a feline.
Amos is survived by his sons, Amos (Wyatt) and Simon Downing, mother, Erin "Gail" (William) Bartle of Norwalk, OH, father, Jerry Downing, and sister, Erin Leah (Dirk "Duke" Horwedel) Downing as well as many uncles, aunts, and cousins.
