Amos Nelson Stradling

Amos Nelson Stradling, age 71, of Kent, Washington passed away January 2, 2015, surrounded by family and friends.

‘Nelson’ was born in New Jersey on February 13, 1943 to his father Alvin and his mother Alberta Stradling. Raised in Pennsylvania, he graduated from Hellertown High School before attending Indiana’s Institute of Technology to study Engineering. After which, he earned his Bachelor of Science in Business from the University of Redlands in California. As a ‘Squid’ in the US Navy and Reserves from ’65-’74 he served in Vietnam as a radar engineer, for which he earned 4 medals.

Nelson enjoyed a long, successful career in business as a manager and was known as a proficient and strong leader. After he retired in 2007, he continued to be active by volunteering for the community and working on his homes in Kent and Fawn Lake. An avid and experienced traveler, he enjoyed all there is about the outdoors; and was a dedicated football fan. Visiting with family and friends is what he enjoyed most!

Nelson is survived by his wife Laura; mother Alberta; brother Jim; sister Sue; son Andrew; and his granddaughters Amber and Ashlynn. Nelson will be dearly missed by all of his family and friends. He was a stoic, generous and loving man who taught through example by living a strong moral code.

We invite you to join in the celebration of his life on January 16, 2015 at 2:00pm at Tahoma National cemetery.
