Kaleb was a 2008 graduate of Timpson High School and was always a Timpson Bear. He had a love for sports from the time he could hold a ball, and even though he was always the smallest, he had the biggest heart on the team. Following graduation, he attended college at Stephen F. Austin, and was soon employed by Union Pacific Railroad. He quickly excelled in every job that he did and earned a position in the bridge department, following in his dad’s footsteps because of his talent for engineering and building bridges. Kaleb was very intelligent and learned many new trades such as taxidermy and woodwork. He was a true artist.
Kaleb had a love for anything outdoors. He enjoyed fishing and hunting and spent every spare second he had in the woods. Kaleb felt closer to God and most at peace when he was sitting in a deer stand, fishing, or chasing hogs. The only love that outweighed the one he had for the outdoors was the love he had for his family. Kaleb was a good father, son, brother, and friend. He loved his three girls more than anything in this world. Kaleb loved fiercely, and if you were in his circle, he would do anything for you. He was big on family and felt that it was important to stop and enjoy each other every chance you got. He never met a stranger and he looked for the good in everyone.
Kaleb courageously fought a battle with diabetes. His suffering and trials are now over, but his story is not finished. Kaleb in Hebrew means faithful, whole-hearted, and brave. This describes his character and how he attacked life every day. Hopefully his story here on earth will bring awareness and compassion toward all those who still struggle with diabetes today.
Kaleb is survived by daughters Paislee Lynn Amos, Pailynn Rose Amos, and Charlee Claire Amos.
