Amy Jo Fields

Amy Jo Fields, 43, of Falcon, CO, passed away suddenly on October 4, 2026, following a brief but bravely fought battle with high grade neuroendocrine cancer. Amy Jo was born July 8, 1983, in Colorado Springs to Daniel & Tammy Fields of Falcon joining big sister, Nicole. She attended grades K-12 in Falcon schools graduating from Falcon High School in 2001. Amy Jo spent her childhood participating in the El Paso County 4-H program and as a member of the Pikes Peak Rangerettes. After high school, she served as an ambassador for the western heritage and agricultural industry as the 2003 El Paso County Fair Queen, the 2004 Aide to Girl of the West and 2005 Girl of the West for the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo. Amy Jo further broadened her reach when she was selected as Miss Rodeo Colorado 2007 and placed top 5 in the Miss Rodeo America Pageant. Amy Jo had a heart for encouraging and mentoring future fair and rodeo queens helping them pursue their dreams. Through her kindness, guidance, and support, she touched the lives of many young women and left a lasting legacy in the rodeo community.

Amy Jo attended the University of Colorado Colorado Springs before transferring to Colorado State University in Fort Collins, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering in 2006. Ultimately deciding to follow her passions rather than pursue a career in engineering, she dedicated 17 years to the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association managing stock contractor memberships, special events, and served as the National Convention Director. In 2020, Amy Jo joined the communications team at El Paso County, where she served an integral role as Marketing Communications Manager.

Amy Jo is survived by her son, Zayne Rodgers; her parents, Dan & Tammy Fields; her grandmother Ardis Peery; aunts Sandra Stein-Lund, Angela Nash (Todd), and Carine Murr; uncles Fred M. Murr and Tim Fields (April); beloved cousins and many dear friends. She was preceded in death by her sister, Nicole Lyne Fields; grandfathers Fred S. Murr and Harold (Bob) Fields; grandmother Vivian Fields; step-grandfather Creig Peery; and aunt Michelle Alliston.
