John Robert Aman, 91, of Sampson County, passed away on August 15, 2017 in Clayton, NC.

A private memorial will be Saturday August 19, 2017 with his family in Sampson County.

John R. Aman was born in Sampson County to Eddie and Vida Viola Naylor Aman on August 12, 1926. He went to school at Mingo.

He was a man of action, who never gave up regardless of what lay ahead of him. He was quiet and reserved, but tough. He said what needed to be said, and was there in a blink of eye when needed. He gave his time, love, and money to help many in need, supported young people making their mark in life, and those who were down on their luck.

He was a veteran of World War II and served in the U.S. Army. He was involved in the Seekers Class of Ridge Road Baptist Church, and Johnston County Home Builders Association.

John is preceded in death by his parents, 9 brother and sisters, and his son John R. Aman II.

John is survived by his loving girlfriend Ms. Betty Nagel, daughters Sara Graham, Linda Majure, Anita Avery and stepson Rod Pagan, brother Willis Aman, sisters Sylva Dale Jackson and Flora Grace Warren, 8 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.

Memorials may be given to American Heart Association, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Johnston County Health and Hospice.

Aman wishes to extend our sincere thanks to Dr. Aleksandra (Sasha ) Avery for her loving care, Johnston Health and Hospice, McLaurin Funeral Home, Nancy White, Briona Chavis and Kya Elmore his faithful caregivers, The Seekers Class of Ridge Road Baptist Church and to all the friends and colleagues who gave their time freely, so he could be cared for.
