Passed away at home on Friday, June 10th, 2022, at the age of 69. Jack was born on December 9th, 1952, in Saginaw, Michigan, to the late Thomas & Georgia (Roberts) Dotson and was a graduate of Hemlock High School. He proudly served in the United States Marine Corps from 1972-1973 and it was during his service to his country that Jack picked up the skilled trade of carpentry, which would occupy his professional and personal time for most of his life. After his service, Jack worked as a carpenter for Mac’s Windows & Doors, as well as various jobs throughout the region for all the people who came to know him as a skilled and dedicated worker. In his free time, Jack enjoyed playing country music on the guitar, fishing, playing poker, euchre, and pool, and spending time with the family he was so proud of, especially his grandkids. Jack had a big heart, was always happy, and was well-loved by everyone that knew him.
