Amado “Amos” Torres, 65, of Lometa died on Sept. 23, 2021, in San Antonio.
He was born in Lometa to Jesus Torres and Lorenza Ruiz on Sept. 13, 1956.
Amado had a sense of humor and was friendly to all. He worked for BNSF Railway for 39 years and was very proud of his time with the company. Amado had a knack for giving advice and steering people in the right direction. He would do whatever he could to help anyone in need.
Although he loved caring for those around him, his greatest joy was being with his family. He loved spending time with his grandchildren and barbecuing for the family.
Amado was an outdoorsman and loved to go fishing. Welcoming the new day with a good cup of coffee brought him joy.
Amado was preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Elisabeth Ann Herrera; and brother-in-law, Sonny Menchaca.
He is survived by sisters Janie Menchaca of Corpus Christi, Rosie and Randall Patton of Alma, Arkansas, Tani and Richard Menchaca, of Waco, Tommie and Billy Crawford of Springdale, Arkansas; brother Jessie and Angie Torres of San Saba; sisters Ernie and Art Gandesbury of Shirly, Arkansas, Simona and Jay Brumbly of Bay City, Texas, Mary Ann and Paul Vivaros of Grand Prairie; brother Tony Torres of Lometa; as well as his grandchildren.
