By obits

 

Amari Mikel Altomore, 16, of Monessen, was taken away from us far too soon on Wednesday, Nov 30, 2022, in Allegheny General Hospital. How blessed we were to have had you for 16 years. Such a loving and caring young man who touched so many lives. Amari was born Dec. 16, 2005, to Dwayne A. Hall and Bethany D. Altomore of Monessen. A junior at Monessen High School, he was a key player on the football team. Amari was so many things to so many people. He loved his family, who meant the world to him. He was a jokester and funny beyond words. He loved playing video games and all types of music. But eating was his passion. He loved YouTube and his dogs, Marley, Raige and Meeko. Amari had a smile that was contagious, his personality was enduring and his love for his family and friends was endearing. Amari leaves to cherish his memory in addition to his parents, Bethany D. Altomore and Dwayne A. Hall (Raenetta Johnson-Hall), his siblings, Rayne Hall, Shyla’Rae Hall and Stefan Hall; step-siblings, Taya Tom, TaVaughn Tom and Mechi Cook; his grandmothers, Debby “NaNa” Altomore of Monessen, and Diane Holiday and husband Matthew of Hazelwood; four aunts, Mandy Altomore, Dayna (Jeff) Frolo, Stephanie Hall and Laura Hall; two uncles, Daniel (Holly) Altomore and Chris Hall; three very close cousins, Mariah Altomore- Ward, Jaden Altomore and Gage Altomore, plus many more; one nephew; and special friends. He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Stephen Hall and Daniel Altomore Sr. Visitation will take place from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 8, 2022, at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, 230 Reed Ave., Monessen, PA 15062, and from 10 to 11 a.m. Friday, Dec. 9, 2022, with 11 a.m. the time the service begins with Pastor Karl Jackson eulogizing. Interment will be private. Repast will be at the Monessen Social Hall immediately following service. Arrangements entrusted to WILLIAM R. TAYLOR FUNERAL HOME, 645 McMahon Ave., Monessen, PA 15062. Trudy L. Taylor, director.
