Roderick “Hot Rod” Dossett has been a long time friend of the Fluellen Family in Washington Hills community of Chattanooga, TN. He was always respectful to my parents, and they loved Hot Rod as one of there sons! Although we all had a good relationship with Hot Rod, he and my brother Pete were more closely related. The last time I spoke with Hot Rod we had a good conversation about our relationship with Jesus the Christ! Although he was dealing with his sickness, Hot Rod took the time to come up the street to checkup on my dad, Mr. Howard. We’re so sorry to hear Hot Rod has answered his call to come home! Our heavenly conversation ensured us that this is not the end of Hot Rod, but the beginning of his everlasting life with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, just as He promised us in John 3:16! Dear Family of Roderick “Hot Rod” Dossett celebrate his life and know you will see him again as you keep your hands in God’s hand! May God console us all and remind us that death no longer have dominion over us! Now let’s shout the Victor’s Cry with Hot Rod, “O death where is your sting, O grave where is your victory” (1 Cor. 15:55)! We love you Hot Rod, but God Loves you best! We will see each other again in heaven! Melvin & Ann Fluellen and Family! <{{{><

Rod Dossett witnessed with his whole being the resurrection and new life of love possible through his desire for freedom from addiction. He has been my friend and inspiration for many years. God bless you, Rod, forever.
