Mr. Dozier joined Saint Micheal AME Church at an early age. In recent years he frequently attended Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Newville, AL until his health would no longer allow him to. Mr. Dozier enjoyed attending church and touched the lives of all who encountered him. He never met a stranger. His charismatic charm, wit, and kindness will forever live on in the memories he shared with those who know and love him.

Mr. Dozier attended Henry County Training School until the age of 14, when he began to work to help provide for his mother and siblings. He worked majority of his life within the logging industry.
