Burlie Locklear Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He is preceded in death by his grandparents: Burlie Dawson Locklear Sr., Darlene Locklear, and Mr. Donald Martin.
Dawson leaves to cherish his memories, the love of his life: Jaylen Madden who he affectionately referred to as "Bae"; his parents: Burlie Dawson Locklear II of Red Springs and Heather Renee Martin of Red Springs; his sister: Kierra Martin of Virgina; his brother: Aaron Locklear of Red Springs; his paternal aunts and uncles who all helped raise him: Daniel Locklear of Red Springs, Elizabeth Locklear of Red Springs, Megan Locklear (James Winston) of Red Springs, Simeon Jones (Raven) of Red Springs, and Adrian Kyle Locklear of Shannon; maternal aunts: Pamela Phillips and Cynthia Southern, both of Virginia; special nieces and nephews: Willow, Winnie Jo, Wriley, Wremi, Joseph, and Alaya; his maternal grandmother: Brenda Martin of Virginia; special friends: AJ Corbit and Brandon Madden and a host of family and friends who loved him dearly.
In life, we meet all types of people, but we can say that Dawson was truly one of a kind. He was a jokester and a spirit lifter. No matter how you felt, he could make you laugh and smile. He loved his family and friends and loved them with everything he had, especially his girlfriend Jaylen. Whether you saw him helping cook bloomin' onions or waiting your table at Waffle House he had that infectious smile. When Dawson wasn't working, he enjoyed fishing, hunting, playing basketball and playing his video game. He was a recent graduate of the Hoke County High School Class of 2024. He had hopes eventually following in the family line of doing electrical work and wanted to own an electrical company one day just like his Papa. Our hearts are shattered but our love and memories will never be broken and neither will the love that he left behind.

I only met your son once I was visiting from MD and came in with my family your son was friendly and caught our attention with his attentive and joyful approach to his job which reflected his kind nature he will always be a pleasant memory because he told us to give his "old lady" the tip I told him he was ahead of the game . I want the family to know you instilled in him things that take others a lifetime to understand if at all. I can only say time is the only thing that will bring some minor comfort but knowing him will eventually ease that pain.

The only memory, he waited our table at Waffle House exactly 3 weeks ago today. Very respectful and great worker. He was very polite and made a very lasting impression. I made the comment that with his personality he would go a long way. My pastor friend asked if he would allow him to pray with him. When I looked, they were holding hands and Brother Vincent prayed with him. My heart was shattered when I received the devastating news. Prayers for everyone.

The infectious smile he always had on his face. He was always busy and I would try to help keep him focused on doing one task at a time. He truly loved Jaylen and everyone could see that. He will be truly missed.
