Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Clarence Franklin Dodgen, Sr., age 83, passed away peacefully on December 19, 2023, in Monroe, GA.
Clarence, known as “Cowboy” was born on January 31, 1940, in Ohatchee, Alabama to John Floyd Dodgen and Minnie Lee Dodgen. He was a loving man, a devoted father, and a friend to all who knew him. His presence brought joy and comfort to our lives, and his absence leaves an immense void that will never be filled.
Cowboy will be dearly missed by Charlena Nadine Dodgen, Amber Caracciolo, Dustin Caracciolo, Frank Dodgen, Brenda Lee Dodgen, Hurston Dodgen, Elva Ware’s 3 children, 9 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren, one brother and one sister. Cowboy was a beloved father and friend to many.
A memorial service to celebrate Clarence Franklin Dodgen’s life will be held on December 30, 2023, at Alcovy Mountain Baptist Church from 2 – 4 pm. We will also be doing a memorial service in Alabama. Information will be provided once a date and time is set.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that any donations be made to the American Heart Association in honor of Cowboy’s memory.
We will forever carry Clarence’s spirit in our hearts and remember him as a loving, caring, compassionate father. May Cowboy rest in eternal peace.
“Gone but never forgotten”.
Sincerely, Clarence Franklin Dodgen Jr., son to Clarence Franklin Dodgen, Sr.
Pastor Scott Clark says
I didn’t know you long, brother, but for the short time you were in my life here on earth, you were a blessing to my family. I know you are celebrating this Christmas with your Savior and while you will be greatly missed here, you are experiencing true peace and joy forevermore. I’m glad I got to know you, and just this once I’ll give you a hearty “Roll Tide”.
Gay and company says
Brother, it is still unreal to think of you not being here.
From the very first time I met you, you were kind, caring and loving.
You loved me and my children like we were family. You blessed us all the time.
We will miss you so much. But I know you are in heaven and healed. Praise be to the Lord God.
Till we see you again, my friend, We will love you forever.
Gay, Priscilla, Jonathan, Brooke and Thomas.
P.S. Sorry about the blanket (not!) ☺

I just found out about Mr. Dodgen’s passing.
I knew him because he brought his little dog Harley to my shop.
Mr Dodgen was a very nice man and his little dog adored him.
He never had an unkind thing to say and he was usually always smiling. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. Family, my thoughts are with you.
