Amos Mel Cupp

Amos Mel Cupp, age 87, of Wolfe City, Texas, passed away on November 11, 2025. He was born on September 7, 1938, in Dixon, Texas, to Oliver and Permelia (Hamilton) Cupp.

Amos was a faithful member of Aberfoyle Baptist Church, where he found strength, fellowship, and purpose throughout his life. A proud veteran, he served in the United States Army for three years, where he achieved distinction by placing 3rd in the World Finals in rifle competition and was also known for his skills in archery.

A true outdoorsman, Amos loved hunting, fishing, and tinkering in his garden, always finding joy in the simple beauty of God's creation. Above all, he cherished his family-especially his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchild-who were the light of his life.

He was preceded in death by his first wife of 42 years, Betty Lou (Hogue) Cupp; his parents, Oliver and Permelia (Hamilton) Cupp; his brother, Danny Oliver Cupp; and his sister, Louisa Ann Cupp.
