Daniel James Amos, 25, journeyed to the spirit world with his family by his side on Good Friday April 18, 2014 at the Sanford Hospital- ICU in Fargo, ND.

Daniel James Amos was born in Sisseton, SD on November 16, 1988 to Calvin Amos Sr. and Susan Quinn Amos. both of Sisseton. Daniel was always smiling. He had an adventurous boyhood growing up a country boy with his older brothers Kevin and Calvin Amos Jr. by his side.
Daniel attended Wilmot Public School from grade onto high school. He was the class clown because he would do or say anything to get you to laugh or smile. Daniel was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a rare bone marrow cancer on January 14, 2002.
Daniel underwent a year of chemo and radiation therapies. He showed Osteosarcoma how strong of a warrior he was. Dan’s doctors and care team from the University of Minnesota-Fairview, Mayo Clinic and Masonic Cancer Center of Minneapolis, MN are forever grateful and respectful for his commitment to the research and cure of such a rare cancer as Osteosarcoma. His cancer was resolved after the year of chemo and radiation. He was in remission although he had multiple surgeries, including an open heart surgery in November of 2012.
Although Daniel came to know only hospitals, he never once gave up or lost his big, contagious smile and he continued to make friends wherever he went. Daniel continuously dusted himself off from his medical treatments and moved on the work a variety of jobs including the Dakota Sioux Casino, Big Sioux Nursery Tree Farm, Roofing while in Rapid City, SD, and helping his stepfather, Daren, renovate houses around the Sisseton area. While working, Daniel attended Alcoholics Anonymous and his aftercare meetings, which were a priority and accomplishment for all the struggles and unforeseen medical events that occurred in his life.
Daniel found humor in everything even when his world would crumble around him. He would rise above the tribulations with a smile and no regrets. Dan did not believe in holding grudges or anger. He never lost his optimism. As he would say, “go with the flow, gotta stay positive.” His hopefulness and sense of humor is what encouraged all who were around him to look on the bright side.

Daniel was a young man who enjoyed visiting with family, being outdoors in nature, lending a hand to all who needed it, and being all around unique in his own way. He loved listening to music, writing in his journal, reading, and doodling whatever he had on his mind. Daniel was part-time mechanic and part-time chef. He loved to chef it up. He had a passion for fishing. Daniel could be out by the lake for hours.
Daniel is forever in spirit and memory. He was a man of character, intelligence, compassion, respect, courage, humor, and integrity.

Daniel’s spirit lives on by his mother, Susan Quinn (Amos) of Sisseton, SD; stepfather, Daren Amos of Sisseton, SD; one brother, Kevin Amos of Sisseton, SD; four sisters, Tricia Amos of Big Coulee (Peever), SD; Angela Leal (Amos) of Port Lavaca, TX; Christy Amos of Sisseton, SD; and Lorraine Amos of Sisseton, SD. He also lives on through many nephews, nieces, uncles, aunts, cousins and friends.

He is preceded in death by his father, Calvin Amos Sr. of Big Coulee (Peever), SD; one brother, Calvin Amos Jr. of Big Coulee (Peever), SD; paternal grandmother, Clara Small of Big Coulee (Peever), SD; maternal grandfather, Clifford Quinn of Sisseton, SD; paternal aunts, Kim Amos of Sisseton, SD and Rochelle Amos of Big Coulee (Peever), SD; maternal uncles, Harlan Amos Jr. of Sisseton, SD and Robert Richotte Sr. of Sisseton, SD; numerous cousins, Duran Richotte of Sisseton, SD; Melissa Thompson of Fargo, ND; David Roberts of Geyser, MT; Robert Richotte Jr. of Sisseton, SD; Chastity Owen-Amos of Watertown, SD; and Angelica Aadland of Wilmot, SD.
