Amado was a bright beam in a world of low resolution. He had an outstanding sense of humor, was friendly to all, and was loved by many. 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 never met a stranger and would do whatever he could to help anyone in need. Although he loved caring for those around him, his greatest joy was being around his family. He loved spending time with his grandchildren and barbequing for the family. Amado was an outdoorsman and loved to go fishing. Welcoming the new day with a good cup of coffee brought Amado joy. He is loved by many and will be dearly missed by those who had the amazing opportunity to know him.
