"Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine" This is one of Jacky's favorite quotes.Ralph Waldo EmersonThis memorial website was created to remember our dearest Jacky Amos who was born in Georgia on April 11, 1979 and passed away on October 16, 2007. You will live forever in our memories and hearts.
Jacky was 28 years old. He was born and raised in Cartersville, GA. He was very strong, a remodel for most of the people around him. He loved God, his family, the races, the gym, and his motorcycle. He was independent, caring, and smart. We miss him very much. He was not married or did not have any kids. He had a niece named Haven and a “friend” named Levi that he would do anything for as if they were his own, he always took the time to let them know they were special and loved.
He was the best brother that I could have asked for, and if I would have known his time was going to be cut short, I would have let him know that in so many more ways... when he was still here. We were always competitive in a sense, but I really always just looked up to him. He was the only positive male role model in my daughters life. I am grateful that she had got the 5 years that she had to spend with him.
He was a man of God, and proud of it. He helped with the church and studied the word. He loved the Holidays, or should I say the food. We miss his presence, his voice, and his face.
I know he is with God, so that has brought me peace. I will see him again someday. I KNOW. He is happier than we could ever imagine and he would not come back from Heaven if we paid him. I know he is waiting, watching, and praying for us down here. He is experiencing the unimaginable and will greet me at the gates when it is my turn. Naturally I miss him and I still have my break downs ( 1 ½ years later) but God has been with me through it all and as promised, has seen me through it.
For anyone reading this that has lost a loved one please remember, we know it hurts, BUT God & time is the medicine. Stay strong, love, laugh, and give away those hugs and kisses. 
On October 16th, 2007, Jacky was on his way to Pink Flamingos (a pizza place) to meet with some friends. He was riding his motorcycle down Hwy 113 going straight when a drunk driver failed to yield while turning left… He hit Jacky. Another car driving in the opposite direction trying to avoid the crash accidently ran over him as well. He died instantly with the first hit, which I am grateful that he did not suffer. Instantly he was in heaven. I KNOW.
Turns out the guy that had hit him, Jonathan Marcus Hall, had felony warrants on him out of MS. See below of all that was done to make sure he stayed in jail, and finally in Dec 08 when He got arrested again for 1st degree forgery, cocaine, and obstruction… I finally got a hold of the bails bonds man to get down to the jail in time to revoke his homicide bail. It worked, as of today 3-27-09 he is still in jail awaiting trail in the next few weeks. I will update once the trial is over. Below is one of the few letters I sent to lead up to this point. Might I add, I have no hatred or hard feelings in my heart towards Marcus at all. I just want to make sure justice is served.
On October 16th of 2007 Jacky Amos was on his motorcycle and killed by a drunk driver( Jonathan Marcus Hall). At the time of the of the wreck Mr. Hall was arrested for felony warrants out of Mississippi ( 5 counts of sale/ delivery of crack cocaine). He was expedited back to Mississippi and released out on bond. Felony Charge!
On April 17th of 2008 (here again in Bartow County GA) Jonathan Marcus Hall was pulled over on a minor traffic violation and charged with homicide by vehicle, driving under the influence, and failure to yield when turning left. That now makes now two felony charges and 2 misdemeanor charges
He was released on a $5,000 bail THE NEXT DAY.
On August 8th of 2008 (still in Bartow County) Jonathan Marcus Hall was arrested and charged with possession of cocaine, inoperable brake lights, and speeding (60 in a 35). That now makes two felony charges and 5 misdemeanor charges.
He was released on bail the next day!
On October 8th of 2008 (still pushing his luck in Bartow County) was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana less than an ounce, possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. That now makes 3 felony charges and 6 misdemeanor charges.
He was released the next day in bail!
Jonathan Marcus Hall was on the Bureau of Narcotics- Most Wanted Website (when he was wanted for the Crack Cocaine charges) so I pulled that page up and contacted that facility. The agents listed as contact persons were Geoff Still & Maurice Shaffer 601-636-5248. I called that number and neither were in but I talked to some man that told me when Mr. Hall was expedited from GA to MS that he was out on BOND and shouldn’t be OUT of the state of Mississippi unless he had set something up with his bondsman. The man didn’t have a way to get his bondsman’s name and number so I couldn’t contact him. He gave me the DA’s Office in Mississippi which is 601-636-5754 I had talked to her (not the actual DA) she was very rude but told me that Mr. Hall had 2 warrants out on him from Sharkey County MS. The Actual DA is Ricky Smith. I left him a VM
I called back to Bartow County Sherriff’s Dept (GA) 770-382-5050 talked to Woody, then he transferred me to his sergeant, then he transferred to the Warrant’s Division. She told me that I would have to call the Sharkey County Sherriff’s Dept and get them to fax over a copy of the warrants and mail a certified copy as well. I called the Sharkey County Sherriff’s Office 601-636-1761 and she told me that Bartow would have to call them and request a copy if they wanted it. I explained my story and then she gave me Mr. Hall’s Probation Officer’s # in MS Jack Hollingsworth 601-638-7611 I called and Jack was off today but the lady looked in her computer and said she WASN’T SURE and THAT she could be wrong BUT Mr. Hall was on Probation for BURGLARY but looks as if the probation has been discharged. She told me to call back to make sure with Jack because if not then that would be a problem. I guess Sharkey County gave me the probation officer’s number because if he is on Probation then his Probation officer will send Bartow County the copy of Warrants?
If He isn’t on Probation, how can I get Bartow County to call and request the warrants or get Sharkey County to fax them to Bartow?
He is out on bond from warrant’s which he RAN on out of MS so I doubt a bondsman would grant him permission to leave MS right? How would I find out his Bondsman?
He has been arrested multiple times, why is he being bailed out and not held till trial?
Mississippi gave me Mr. Hall’s attorney’s number BUT why would I want to contact someone that is wanting to defend him and WARN him? His name is John or Martin? 662-334-9426 I have not contacted him.
His bonding Company here is Falcon Bonding 770 387 9686
Other useful Numbers are:
Bartow County Warrant’s Division Fax 678 721 3221
Bartow County Magistrate Court 770 387 5080
Bartow County DA’s Office 770 387 5070
Bartow County Jail/Warrants Division 770 382 5050
Falcon Bonding Company Bartow County GA 770 387 9686
Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics Contact Agents or anyone else 601-636-5248 (Geof Still and Maurice Shaffer)
Mississippi DA Office 601-636 5754 (actual DA is Ricky Smith)
Hall’s Probation Officer? Jack Hollingsworth 601-638-7611

When I think about what I want out of life, I think about the times I had with you. Those were the happiest times of my life. Maybe because of the whole first love thing or the innocense that comes with being young. I always think that whatever I do in life, I want to get that sort of happiness again. I want to feel that again, and I wonder if it is possible. I can't help but to think that a lot of it is a one time thing. Then comes grown up love that just doesn't seem as pure or unconditional. I just wish I would have treasured that young love as much as I could have and as long as I could have while I was living in it. I wish I could hit rewind all the time. If I could just live in it for a minute. It's so confusing now. It's hard to trust love now because it is so flimsy, and there's so many strings attached. I miss it being simple. I miss butterflies. I miss spending hours just talking and holding hands. I miss trusting. I miss cute things like your dancing in the rain or swinging at the school or walking the tracks at the parks holding hands. Those were the happiest times in my life. Maybe it was just part of being young, but those memories are my most cherished. They're irreplaceable. Sometimes I swear I think that if I get lost in them enough, that I can travel through time. When reality sets in, I think about heaven. I think that simple and pure love wait for me again with the Father and Son. It makes me long to be there, and be as good as I can here so that I will get there. In essence, you're making me a better person. The only love that I could imagine that could compare to that in which I feel and felt for you has to be supernatural.

Dear Jacky,You were there for me ever since i was born. I had to write something for school about who my hero was, so i picked you!This is what I wrote:
My hero would be my uncle, Jacky. I loved him. He’s been there for me since I was born and until I was 5 years old. Well, I didn’t ever meet my real dad. He never had any kids, so I counted my uncle as a dad to me because he acted like one. When I was five he got into a very bad motorcycle wreck. He was going the speed limit and a drunk driver hit him. I was five and I cried more than any one else. He taught me respect and responsibility. You would probably ask your self why would she count her uncle as her dad. Well because he was always there for me. When he passed away I didn’t know what to do. He was my and my mom’s role model.
I love you Jacky
love,
Haven Amos
