Obituary for Gregory A. Dodson
Gregory “Greg” A. Dodson, 45, of Erie, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, May 7, 2020 at his home. He was born on August 19, 1974, son of Phyllis J. Henderson Dodson and the late Merle E. Dodson.
Greg resided in Erie his whole life, graduating from Tech Memorial High School in 1993, and received an Associate’s Degree from Erie Business Center. He was employed at Papa John’s Pizza for many years, working in management and delivery driving over the years. Greg was an avid Denver Bronco’s fan, and friends and family could always find him in a Bronco’s jersey during football season. He loved karate, fishing, and kayaking during the summer. He took a large interest in salt water tanks over the years, and was a magnet for all animals, especially dogs, who loved him just as much as he loved them.
In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his sister, Patricia Dodson, in infancy.
In addition to his mother, he is survived by his brother, Ronald Dodson (Madeline), of North Fort Meyers, FL; and his sisters, Christine Dodson (fiancé Ryan Newara), and Sandra Eckman (Don), both of Erie; many nieces and nephews; and his good friend, Matt Nicholson and family.
