Mr. Bobbie Dawson entered into this life on June 14, 1949, in Warrenton, Georgia, the son of Mattie and Wesley Dawson. Bobbie was a husband, loving father, brother, grandfather, uncle, and friend.

Upon relocating to Michigan, Bobbie united with Historic Second Baptist Church where he served as a deacon, usher, and bus driver. Later, he joined Gethsemane Baptist Church, where he continued to serve in the same ministries. Bobbie was employed as a gas lineman at Consumers Power for over 30 years before retiring. He loved decorating his home during the holidays, and he enjoyed watching wrestling, especially WWE. Bobbie moved back to Georgia where he was a member and deacon at Williams Grove Baptist Church. Most of all, Bobbie loved spending time with his family and friends. He will be greatly missed.
