David was the baby one of 13 children. Those left to cherish his memory are Brothers: Robert (Debbie) Dotson, Danny (Diane) Dotson, Jerry (Sharon) Dotson, Howard (Idamae) Dotson of Paw Paw, KY: Sisters: Annie Carol Blankenship, Okie (Kenny) Jackson of Hurley, VA, Jenny Cantrell and Merle Hurley of Paw Paw, KY; Mother-in-Law: Nancy Sargent; Very Special Brother-in-Love: Douglas Lester who was always there for him whenever he needed him. Also, a nephew he loved as his own, Matthew Lester who he called the baby; Special Nephews: Samuel Dotson that would do anything he could for him, Aaron Hurley, Bobby Jr. Sargent, Ryan Dotson, Andrew Sargent, Ryan Sargent and Jeremy Sargent, who he loved too and watched them grow up as his own. David loved all his nieces and nephews. David also leaves behind his Sisters and Brother by heart, Sybil Gail Lester, Melissa Hurley, Jean Dotson and Bobby Sargent. David leaves behind a multitude of family and friends. He always said, "If I never see you again on this side, meet me by the river of life over on the other side." To know him, was to love him. The world lost one of the best. Heaven gained a wonderful soul.
