One of the greatest actors that EVER lived.RIP Legend.
John Stamos
Damn Damn Damn R.I.P. John Amos we’re gonna miss you, Have Mercy.
May the memory of John Amos live on in the hearts of his family and his fans.
"ROOTS" should be required viewing in middle schools.
What a good man!
What a good father figure!❤😢
The Best TV dad ever!!
@@pdenise9078 he was Uncle Jessie. John Stamos
John Amos passed away 45 days ago on August 25th it was not reported to the media until October 1st.. RIP SIR😌 your great work will always be remembered
It's was the 21st actually
His family should've reported it. That's on them not the media
@@criminalmindsgirl2936 no they did not have to report anything. They needed time. They owe noone anything.
@BrittneyHernandez-x5p his son reported it on October 1st. His daughter found out the same way we did.
@@BrotherDerrick3X ok, then he should of told his sister, but he didn't have to tell us. Plus sometimes family stuff is complicated because you have crazy scary siblings you cannot communicate with, like I do.
R.I.P., Mister Amos 🙏😔😪😞...
Oh, man. I love this man. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺Thank you, John, for being brave enough to share yourself with us all. Thank you, for the crap you had to deal with, just to make great art. Thank you, rest well.💐✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨💫🌟⭐️
One fine man,he was a hero to all black or white,we will miss his kind and loving spirit…❤
His son hid his death from the rest of the family and the whole entire world for 45 days. It doesn’t feel in the best interest of Mr. Amos. I’m sure he wanted to be remembered and celebrated by the people who love him and loved his work. Something evil at foot here.
Sumptin ain't right.
I’m so heartbroken 💔
"Honey, he's got his own money!" 💸
"Glad to meet you Kang"👑
The world would never be the same without John Amos, I will continue to watch Good Times
A manly man and a gentleman. His memory is truly a blessing to all who admired his great talent.
Rest in peace King. You will be missed.😪
Rest in peace John Amos thank you
RIP John Amos and James Earl Jones ❤❤
Great actor, loved his shows. RIP..
👉👉03 Thursday October 2024 at 4:47 AM.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏REST WELL🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏from New York City👈👈...
Chairman of The Joint Chiefs on "The West Wing"...excellent casting of the part by a great actor...end result? excellent job...
I want to sincerely thank John Amos for all the fun memories I had as a kid watching Good Times. I love every episode. RiP 🙏
The real “American Dad”.
What a talented and good man. Others may feel (hopefully not) that it slights him to say that my favorite role of his was his major character in the second Die Hard movie. Absolutely superb. When I re-watch that movie, which I periodically do, his strong character and acting just doesn't quit. An absolute presence on screen. Rest in Peace, sir. Thank you.
He was such a great actor. I haven’t had tv in several years I didn’t know what became of him . Rest In Eternal Peace Mr. Amos.🙏✝️
Over a month after John died, his son decided to tell everyone. What a dishonor for such a pioneer who set the bar for Black actors.
Over 2 months
@jking- Actually a month and about 10 days.
Smells fishy.
On imdb it said he passed away on aug 21, 2024.
Yeah this hits different rip to a legend for real
DAMN DAMN damn
RIP
RIP you will be missed James Evans
He actually passed in August. His family just revealed it...RIP King, your legacy will live on forever
sorry to hear that my prayers are for him n his family
RIP John Amos❤ You were really someone special to me 🕊🕊🕊🕊
Awesome actor.... Loved COMING TO AMERICA, LOCK UP AND love and still watching GOOD TIMES RIP John long live your spirit 🙏🙏🙏🙏gone too soon and still young
Fantastic Actor John Amos, Rest in Heavenly peace. My Deepest Condolences to your family🙏❤️🕊
John Amos is deserving of all the accolades he has received and continue to receive. He was a great actor.
Aww. Man Always remember James. Good Times
Now him and Esther Rolle finally will be having for themselves a very *GOOD TIME REUNION!.*
He also starred in Full House, General Hospital and toured as a musician with the renowned group Da Beach Boyz
When you try to avoid imagining what's it's like to lose your biological father, whose first name just happens to be... *JAMES* 💔😞💔
Thank you for being the proper counterweight to the All In The Family. RIP
Aw man💔 I'm 28 and i used to watch good times and Sanford and son online and I was entertained all throughout. He was a phenomenal actor and I thought it was wack that the writers wanted to kill him off as a father for no apparent reason at all. Good times was one of the great sitcoms that paved the way for all black family sitcoms that followed after like Fresh Prince of Bel Air and My Wife and Kids. R.I.P. 🕊💔🙏🏽
John Amos, Mr Evans, who worked his @$$ off and didn't take crap etc.Thank you for your talents as I and others appreciated your contributions to the big and small screen.❤
Great at his craft , I can't say that about most of the "ACTORS" today or in the past .
He will be missed!! Until we see you again. God speed
Great comedic actor!
4th person from the Roots series to die in the last couple years, Louis Gosett, OJ Simpson, James Earl Jones from Roots The Next Generation and now John Amos
Last couple of years? All 4 died this year
@@cdgates1 Louis Gosett Jr died last year I thought
@@maxinekanner5434 Earlier this year
@@maxinekanner5434 sorry Maxine you misspelled Gossett
Coming to America is my favorite film of john amos.

Damn Damn Damn!

Respect. Rest In Peace Sir.
Great man.

Rip john amos
RIP GREAT ACTOR
Rest In Power🔥
Job well done, sir!🙏🏾
BLACK AMERICA ‘S 🇺🇸 FAVORITE DAD
Rest up king
RIP 🙏🙏🙏
What I love so much about GOOD TIMES...
IS THAT DAMN NEAR ALL OF THE EPISODES WERE REALISTIC 💯
EXCEPT FOR THE EPISODE WHEN FLORIDA MADE JAMES GIVE BACK THAT BAG OF MONEY HE FOUND😂‼️🤔
WE ALL KNOW THAT IN THE HOOD WE WOULD NOT HAVE GIVEN THAT MONEY BACK BECAUSE THE STRUGGLE IS STILL REAL ‼️💯‼️💯‼️
GIGGLE, GIGGLE😂
BUT...
FRFR 💯🎯
PURPLE 💜 GIRL
True that 😂
Everyone dies but not everyone truly lives, unfortunately.
RIP Captain Meissner
Will Smith will miss is TV stepfather, John Amos, but he's reunited with Uncle Phil, himself, James Avery!!!
Owner of McDowells now reunited with his white employee played by Louie Anderson also RIP.
Also friends and fans❤
Rest in peace to one of my favorite tv fathers along with Bill Cosby… Thanks for being such a inspiration to me that the devil 😈 feared married people so much that he had to literally kill him off the show so more of us would fail with our kids and nephews and nieces, but God didn’t let it happen!!! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
mmm … respectfully, you’re a little off-sides because the first allegations were made in 2023 and the son, KC, named in social media posts on his account, two Colorado “caretakers” as the elder abusers and CO authorities (local and above) confirmed they were investigating
that’s all ………
your simply naming the daughter is one-sided and discrediting to her representation - especially when conversations of JA previously addressing some of their private issues related to what became, this .. were also released on YT in 2023 when SA went public, asking for assistance with this situation her Father had become entangled in …
They said he passed in August
😢
Aaaaaaaaaw, Lawd! 😢
Great actor. RiP
🕊️
May u RIP
Why are we just now hearing This. He passed away last month can’t even say last month because it’s October already
His son told the media about 2 months late
@@criminalmindsgirl2936his son is evil AF ..he didn't want nobody know he died
Very fishy...
This man died in August 🤦🏿♀️
Rip Cleo McDowell
2 months ago
Funny how middle and lower classes have had concerns about energy crises since the 70’s, maybe earlier. The whole time the executives have always been rich AF!
Like the song "Good Times" chic?
First dikembe mutombo, pete rose and now john amos. They are dying at any time.
Why they kill him?
It Happened to John. 😮🐐☕☕
Qepd
