In Washington she gave birth to two adoring sons, Luke, and Everett Youngblood before heading back overseas to Germany. After nearly twelve years overseas as a service member or military spouse she returned to the States.

Upon her return she made Ohio home. It would be there that she would give birth to her youngest son Nicholas and find her calling in aviation.

Amanda was one of the smartest women I knew. I met her when stationed in Germany. She had a witty since of humor and we bonded when our husband's deployed, taking trips together and hanging out so our kids could play. She was genuine, and one of the few people who could talk about things that mattered. We talked about family, careers, world views, politics- you name it! She wasn't judgemental and even tried to get me not to eat meat which lasted a day. I'm saddened about her loss and yet I think about the legacy she's leaving her boys whom she cared so much about. She was a mild mannered trailblazer! I can only imagine the void left on earth and I pray her boys pain eases with time. There's nothing like a mother's love, and she was definitely one of a kind. Love & Blessings to the entire family. Yvonne (Gary) Phillips. San Antonio, TX

I am utterly confounded and shocked by the news of the sudden death of Amanda Diane Youngblood. I have known Amanda for many years as a friend and as a colleague while we were working in US Airforce reserves, Joint Base Lewis-McChord. For the duration I have known her, Amanda has never exhibited sickness or ill health. Indeed, hers life has been a portrait of robust health. His devotion to a rigorous personal fitness regime is public knowledge. My heartfelt condolences go to her husbandabd children, and friends who have affected by her demise. May God grant them comfort and solace to see through the difficult moments of this profound loss. Dr. Immanuel Gitamo.

Amanda was the first to train me in flying; and she made it very enjoyable. I am privileged to say that she cut the tail off of my shirt after my first solo flight. She is a blast to be around and seems to never have a bad day. I have been devastated ever since I heard the news, unable to get my mind to wonder anywhere else. She will forever be missed.

Amanda…I would say I was her partner in crime but I was more like the side kick following along on her adventures and ideas. When she moved to Ohio, I was her first friend. I sat next to her at work, where our friendship blossomed. She was always so outgoing, out spoken, beautiful and strong. Every day she amazed me. She was also hilarious. I was pregnant and she helped me through it all, the walking, the squatting, health insurance, whatever it was. She was such an in the moment type of person. Whatever could be accomplished today, she wasn’t waiting until tomorrow to do it. I got to be in her wedding as she also got to be in mine. She found something so fulfilling in flying and she was so proud of each and every hour she gained. I was and am so proud of her. Most of all she was proud of being a mother. Three baby boys, and she loved them so much.

Amanda is probably one of the most tenacious people I have had the pleasure to know. I was with her when she decided to "cure her boredom," waiting for her masters to start, by taking flying lessons. It turned into her life's passion. And while I had a hard time keeping up with all her flying stories, I'm going to miss them and her for a long time to come.
