David George Dodd (82) of Horseshoe Lake, AR, passed from this wonderful, God-created earth on June 18th, 2021. David was born in Memphis, TN, on February 26th, 1939, the middle son of Judge Doyne and Kathleen Virginia Dodd. He is survived by his wife, Sherry; two brothers, Dr. Doyne Dodd (Margaret) and Dennis Dodd (Sheila) two daughters, Debra Sneed (Macky) and Dana Gardner (Brad); 3 step children, Deborah Eubanks (Wesley). Beck Winterer (Ted) and Wes Taylor, Ten grandchildren, Adam, Will, and Sarah Sneed ; Tyler, Connor, and Alex Nelson; Worth and Anne Wallis Eubanks, Elanor and Steele Winterer, and three great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his first wife, Sue Bogard Dodd, the mother of his wonderful daughters.

David was a lifelong Crittenden countian living in both West Memphis and Horseshoe Lake. He graduated from West Memphis High School in 1957 and enjoyed following the Blue Devils throughout his life. He received a BSCE from the University of Arkansas in 1963 and a Master of Science from Memphis State University in 1972. Following his retirement in 2000, David was privileged to teach and tutor mathematics at Mid-South Community College.

At the University of Arkansas, he was a proud member of the ''Fabulous XI'' chapter of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. He was an ardent and lifelong fan of the Arkansas Razorbacks, who provided him with a fun, inexpensive hobby that led to many friendships and (usually) fun conversations. Woo Pig Sooie!

David always felt extremely blessed to have two fun and rewarding careers in the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers and the Army National Guard. He served a 37-year career as a civil engineer with the Memphis District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where he was a proud member of a superb team that ensured flood control, navigation, and environmental protection for the Lower Mississippi River Valley. He also served as a Field Artillery Officer in the Arkansas Army Natural Guard for 28 years, with two years of active duty, before retiring in 1995 with the rank of colonel. Among other military honors, he was conferred both the Legion of Merit and Legion of Meritorious Service Awards.

David was a devout Christian and served as a Communicant at Trinity in the Fields Anglican Church. He loved and was thankful to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for teaching us how to live and love and for providing a path to everlasting life in Heaven.

David sincerely loved his Lord, his family, his vocations, and his fellow human beings. A truly blessed man.

In Lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation be made to Trinity in the Fields Anglican Church at: 100 East Military Rd. Marion, Arkansas, 72364.
