Donald Dodd Obituary

Donald Ray Dodd, 78, passed away on January 14, 2026. Born on May 2, 1947, in Union County. Donald was the epitome of a loving and committed family man. He cherished his 49 years of marriage to his beloved wife, Linda Barkley Dodd. Together, they raised their son Jeff Dodd, and watched their grandchild, Harper Dodd grow. He will forever be missed by his sister, Brenda Pannell. He was preceded in death by his parents, James and Eloise Gardner Dodd, and his brothers, Ronald (his twin) and Jackie Dodd.

Donald took great pride in his role as a grocery route supervisor, a position he held for many years, enriching the corporate family of Malone & Hyde and S.A.J. with his tireless work ethic and dependable nature.

Donald was a member of the Ingomar Community Church. His passion extended to his hobbies, where he brought new life to antique tractors and trucks through his restorative talents. He enjoyed his friendship and getting to eat with the Romeo Club.

Services will be on Saturday, January 17, 2026, at 11:00am with visitation on Friday from 5:00 - 7:00 and on Saturday 10 - 11:00, all at United Funeral Service.

Sorry to hear of Donald´s passing. I worked with Donald for many years at SAJ Distributors. Donald had a great work ethic and was just a really down to earth guy. I enjoyed his southern mannerisms and positive attitude. We´ll see him again at Christ´s return.
