George Franklin Dossett, 86, of Edisto Island, SC, entered his Heavenly Home on June 7, 2025. He was born on February 23, 1939, in Todd County, Kentucky, to the late Bennie Warren Dossett and Mable Lee Thompson Dossett. George made Edisto his home in 1988. After working for Fairfield (now Wyndham) for a time, he took a leap of faith and started his own landscaping business, a venture that would define his legacy on the island. Arguably the hardest working man on Edisto, George quickly became one of Edisto's most respected and beloved figures. Affectionately referred to as "Mr. George," he was a friend to all who knew him. He cherished his family and friends deeply, and his passions included the music of George Jones, cheering for the Kentucky Wildcats, rooting for the New York Yankees, and supporting the Washington Commanders. George was preceded in death by six brothers: Kenneth Clayton "Jake" Dossett, Douglas "Doug" Warren Dossett, Delmar Thomas "Tommy" Dossett, Roy Gene Dossett, Allen Street Dossett, and James "Jim" Dossett; and two sisters: Dora Lee Dossett and Zelmar Kathleen Dossett. He is survived by his loving children, Sheryl "Sherry" Leeper (Nicholas) of Edisto Island, SC, and Brian Dossett (Megan) of Greenville, SC; five brothers: Gordon Nelson Dossett of Adairville, KY, Robert Peter "Pete" Dossett (Ruth Ann) of Elkton, KY, Bruce David Dossett of Fairview, KY, Roger Glenn Dossett (Cheryl) of Elkton, KY, and Charles Hubert Dossett (Elizabeth) of Hopkinsville, KY; and two cherished grandchildren, Ann Katherine "Anna Kate" and Thomas "Tommy" Patrick Dossett both of Greenville SC. A celebration of George's life will be held on June 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Edisto Beach Baptist Church. Family and friends are warmly invited to gather in remembrance of a man who touched so many lives with his kindness, hard work, and unwavering love. A service and burial will follow in Kentucky in July, where George will be laid to rest among family and loved ones. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to Edisto Beach Baptist Church, Bellview Baptist Church in Allegre, KY, or the University of Kentucky general scholarship fund. These contributions will honor George's generous spirit and his deep devotion to his faith, his community, and his beloved Kentucky Wildcats. Your thoughtfulness in remembering George in this way is deeply appreciated.

BEWARE OF FAWNS!
It's the time of year when the littlest deer are born. They are very skittish and may RUN OUT IN FRONT OF YOU. They bed down and hide for hours. If you see one, let it be. The mother is nearby and trying to draw attention to herself to protect the little one.

WHEN DRIVING - BE AWARE THAT IF YOU SEE ONE DEER, THERE ARE PROBABLY MORE AROUND.
