Bryan William Dotten, 56, passed away Friday, August 12, 2022.
Bryan was a man of God, an outstanding father, a U.S. Army combat veteran, a true servant of his country and his community. He loved his family, his friends, the outdoors and helping those in need. Bryan was a man of few words, but those words were of great substance and weight when he spoke. He was always quick to put others first, providing support whenever he was able. He would do whatever he could, no matter the time, reason, or the difficulty. Bryan was to many of us, a reliable source of great advice, guidance and scripture to help shed light on what was most important and how to navigate life's most difficult aspects.  He was a man who not only studied and learned the word of God, but would live it out on a daily basis. Words cannot convey how much Bryan will be missed dearly by his family, his friends, those with whom he served and the countless number of people upon whom he had a massive impact. He left us too early, but we take comfort in the knowledge that he is now in the presence of our heavenly father above and looking over us.

Bryan is survived by his mother, Vickianne Dotten; father, Bill Dotten and wife Kaye; son, Johnathan Dotten; brothers, Chris Dotten, Matthew Dotten and Daniel Dotten; nieces, Kaylyn Dotten, Kandace Dotten, Kara Dotten, Katherine Dotten, Krista Dotten Kelehar, Kiersten Dotten and Kassidy Dotten; nephews, Andrew Dotten and Matthew Dotten.
