Fairview - Stanley Dale Dotson, 65, of Fairview, peacefully entered Heaven's gates on Wednesday, February 25, 2015 with his loving family by his side.
A lifelong resident of Fairview, Stan was born April 7, 1949 to the late Mayme and Don Dotson.
He was a longtime employee of Crown Cork & Seal as well as Tyco of Black Mountain. He was a member of Bethany United Methodist Church in Fairview and enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He was always eager to lend a helping hand and insisted on taking care of others before himself. You rarely found him without his sidekicks Dixie and Rosco.
Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 46 years, Betty Elingburg Dotson; his daughter, Pam Dotson; his son Eric Dotson and his wife, Brandy; his pride and joy and 'pretty girl', granddaughter, Mackenzie Dotson; his four legged children, Dixie and Rosco; three sisters, Kay Houck and her husband H.D., Wanda Galante and her husband, Bob, and Linda Dotson; two brothers, Donnie Dotson and his wife Joyce and Joe Dotson and his wife, Pat; as well as numerous special nieces and nephews.
A funeral service will be held at 3:00 PM on Sunday, March 1, 2015 in the chapel of Groce Funeral Home at Lake Julian with the Reverends Scott Dotson, Sr. and H.D. Houck officiating. Interment will follow at Bethany United Methodist Church Cemetery, 212 Bethany Church Rd, Fairview. The family will receive friends from 1:30 – 3:00 PM on Sunday, March 1, 2015 at the funeral home.
The family would like to send a special thank you the Neurotrauma ICU nurses at Memorial Mission Hospital, especially Wendy Gibson-Butler and Sue Hjelsand, and the nurses at the Davita Dialysis Center and the Outpatient Wound Center.

This poem by Karen Boyer describes my neighbor, Stanley Dotson:
‘He never looks for praises, He’s never one to boast
He just goes on quietly working for those he loves the most
His dreams are seldom spoken, his wants are very few
And most of the time his worries will go unspoken, too
He’s there……..a firm foundation through all our storms of life
A sturdy hand to hold to in times of stress and strife
A true friend we can turn to when times are good or bad
One of our greatest blessings, the man that we call Dad’
A quiet man who made great impact on all he met.
May God bless all of you at this time. I am praying for the family.
Please accept my deepest condolences
for your loss. I know you will miss your
loved one very much, but as you cherish fond memories. May you find comfort knowing that Our Almighty
God is close to the brokenhearted and He saves those who are crushed in spirit.
. . . Psalm
34:18 and very soon God will end all
sickness, death, pain and sorrow. (Revelation
21:4) What a wonderful day that will be!
May God bless you all during this time of sadness. Stanley was fortunate indeed to have such loving family and friends.
‘Fair thee well, fair thee well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the River sing sweet songs
to rock my soul’
