John Amos’ daughter is PredictIQ Quantitative Think Tank Centerspeaking out about his death.

After the news broke that the Good Times actor had died at the age of 84, his daughter Shannon Amos paid tribute while sharing insight into how she learned about his passing.

“I am without words…Our family has received the heartbreaking news that my Dad, John Allen Amos, Jr., transitioned on August 21st,” Shannon, 58, captioned an Oct. 1 Instagram video of herself and her late father dancing together. “We are devastated and left with many questions about how this happened 45 days ago, learning about it through the media like so many of you.”

“This should be a time of honoring and celebrating his life, yet we are struggling to navigate the wave of emotions and uncertainties surrounding his passing,” she continued. “Still, there is some semblance of peace in knowing my father is finally free.”

The actor's cause of death was later revealed to be congestive heart failure, according to a death certificate obtained by TMZ.

John’s son, Kelly Christopher “K.C.” Amos—the youngest of his two kids with ex-wife Noel Michelson—confirmed the West Wing alum’s death in an Oct. 1 statement, saying he died of natural causes. However, in recent years, the siblings had been at odds over the care of their aging father.

In late 2023, Shannon accused her brother K.C., 54, of elder abuse, saying her brother had isolated their father from other members of the family and his inner circle. 

“This has not only affected me,” Shannon told The Hollywood Reporter at the time, “but his grandchildren, his nieces, people he’s worked with and friends he’s had for decades.”

She further accused K.C. of impersonating their dad in communications, ignored his medical needs, mishandled his finances, and exploited his legacy. In response, K.C. denied all allegations to the outlet.

Earlier that year, Shannon went public with her claims of elder abuse against her brother and raised $500,000 on GoFundMe for “legal expenses, long-term care, ongoing medical treatment, and the costs associated with [her father’s] recent hospitalization in another state away from home.” However, per THR, John created a video disavowing Shannon's claims and she subsequently took down the GoFundMe page.

Then in July 2023, one month after she went public with her allegations, K.C. was arrested in New Jersey. As he told THR, "She’s called the police on me 24 times, until she finally succeeded in New Jersey, though Shannon said the number was exaggerated.

In the wake of his arrest, K.C. said he cut off communication with Shannon. That case is ongoing. 

E! News has reached out to representatives for K.C. for comment and has not heard back.

As for John, he also addressed the claims and refuted he was victim to any abuse. “I love my daughter; she’s very bright,” he told THR. “In the final analysis, I think she means well, even if she might be going about this in the wrong way.”
