Elbert S. "Big'n" Dotson

I went to church with this wonderful family at Maple View for many years and spent many hours with them. Ebbie and Martina were always so loving and I have often thought of them.So many hours in church and at sports events left me with a deep love for this family. Prayers for peace and healing and for happiness knowing that he worked his entire life for this day and is now with our Lord. May God bless your family with love and happiness.

Our family were neighbors with Ebbie and Martina and their sons for nearly 70 years.
We could not have asked for better neighbors. Ebbie was one of the finest men I have ever known. He was a positive influence on many young men through his involvement with the church and with sports.
My condolences and thoughts are with Danny, Freddy, Kenny and Tim.

So sorry to hear of your loss. In growing up at Mapleview church of Christ your parents were great influences on the youth, me being one . I loved both your parents and have thought of them many times. May your hearts be full in knowing he is with the Lord.

Lots of Love

I had the privilege to ‘grow up’ in church with this wonderful family with a true example of a man of God in Big’n. I will cherish the memories I have of Big’n and Martinia and the guidance and friendship they offered so many times. One of my favorite pictures was Big’n sitting in his recliner with my son Paul on one knee and his grandson Jonathan on the other drinking their bottles. Please give Paul a hug for me Big’n when you see him in heaven. My love to all the family especially...

So sorry for the loss of this dear man of GOD. What a witness and worker for his LORD. He has been a friend for over 55 years. My heart and prayers go out to my dear friend Martinia, his son's, I remember so fondly. May the man that he was, the Christian he was be a guiding light for your life. I know he will be waiting at heaven's gate to reunite with his family. I pray GOD'S loving comfort for each one of you. II Corn.1:3

May the Lord comfort you and your family during this time
