Eric graduated from Clarendon High School, Class of 1989. He enjoyed playing basketball, football, baseball, and running track. Also, he loved to show off his dance skills, thus winning a dance contest in Little Rock, Arkansas. Soon after high school, he joined the United States Navy.

Brother Eric Amos’ biggest dream was to become a Master Mason. On March 20, 2010, he became a member of Lions of David #30 in Little Rock, under Worshipful Master Milton Myke Brown 33/95 degree.

He enjoyed giving back to the community and trying to keep his hometown Clarendon clean. He cherished the time spent with his kids and grandkids. He loved buying sneakers and making sure he was groomed and dressed nicely all the time.
