Daniel Lee Dodson, 76, of 596 Motley Mill Road entered into eternal rest on Monday, March 8, 2021 at his residence.
Daniel was born on November 4, 1944 to the late Charlie George Dodson and Fannie Robertson Dodson. He was educated in the Pittsylvania County School System.
Daniel loved hunting, fishing, gardening, and watching Westerns on television. A great joy in his life was sports. For many years, Daniel played first base for the famous and fabulous Spring Garden Bucs. He was definitely a home run hitter! Once he put down his ball, bat and glove, he continued to enjoy sports – watching his LA Dodgers Baseball and San Francisco 49er’s Football team on television. Daniel also loved to joke and enjoyed lively conversations with family members and friends.
Daniel retired from Haymes Brothers Construction Company in Chatham, Virginia after many years of service.
Later in life, Daniel was baptized and became a member of the Shockoe Missionary Baptist Church in Java, Virginia.
Daniel was preceded in death by his mother and father; one son, Daniel Q. Dodson, one sister, Alice Dodson; and five brothers, Lawson Dodson, Walter “Spook” Dodson, James “Ned” Dodson, Willie “Sike” Dodson and Joe “Mickey” Dodson.
