In an announcement made on October 1st, Shannon, the daughter of John Amos, disclosed that she learned about his demise over a month after it had already occurred.

Known for his roles in Coming to America, Good Times, and Roots, the actor sadly passed away on August 21 in Los Angeles due to natural causes at the age of 84, as confirmed by his son Kelly Christopher “K.C.” Amos’ statement.

Shannon expressed on Instagram, “Forty-five days ago, we were struck with grief and confusion over the incident, just like many of you, as we learned about it from news sources.

I’ve found myself grappling with a torrent of feelings and uncertainties as I reflect on the life of an individual we’ve lost. Amidst the bittersweet memories, it’s crucial that we take time to honor and celebrate his journey, even in these challenging moments.

Despite the highs and lows in Shannon’s relationship with her father, John publicly declared about his daughter, who had been previously implicated in elder abuse allegations, during an interview with PEOPLE in December 2023: “She is my daughter, my firstborn. I adore her.

He continued by saying, “K.C. truly cherishes his sister. If we were to describe our bond according to the sensationalist headlines, it might be labeled ‘stormy.’ However, despite its ups and downs, their affection remains strong and they manage to navigate through any difficulties together.

In simpler terms, K.C. shared with The Hollywood Reporter that his sister was engaged in an extravagant smear campaign to make him appear, according to his own words, unsuitable for the documentary about their father titled “America’s Dad.

In the obituary for his father, Amos’ son, K.C., shared that his father’s impact would continue through his exceptional acting roles in television and movies. He also noted that Amos led a fulfilling life.
