Tommy Lee Dover, Jr., age 55, passed away on October 14, 2025, at Southgate Living Center in Caruthersville, Missouri.

Born on July 3, 1970, Tommy was the son of the late Tommy Lee Dover, Sr. and Barbara Dodson-Coppola.

A skilled and self-employed electrician for many years, Tommy was known as a true jack of all trades-there wasn't much he couldn't fix. Outside of work, Tommy was an avid outdoorsman who loved spending time in nature. He especially enjoyed deer hunting and fishing.

Tommy is survived by his five children, Preston Dover, Zach (Monica) Dover, Emily Dover, Saylor Dover, and Taylor Dover; grandchildren, Layla Dover, Hunter Dover, Kennedi Dover, Raelynn Dover, and Lynnox Courtaway; and one brother, Ronnie Lamb.

He was preceded in death by his father, Tommy Lee Dover, Sr.
