Johnny Lee Dozier

Johnny Lee Dozier Sr. was born December 21, 1947 in New York, to the late Joseph and Vinnie

Dozier. Johnny was a devoted son, brother, uncle, father, grandfather, great grandfather,

cousin, and friend.

Johnny LOVED The Lord. He was a faithful member of The Bible's Way COGIC in Oakland

Ca. under The late Bishop Larry J Magathan worshing for 10 years. Johnny later joined

Cornerstone Community Church in Marin City, until Covid came and made it difficult for us

all. However, that did not stop him from seeking God’s approval until the very end.

Johnny was originally born in New York, he and family members eventually made their

homes in Florida of which he loved sharing stories. Especially about his Florida fruit trees.

He looked forward to getting his packages of Florida goodies and enjoyed sharing them

when he received them from his siblings who still reside in Florida.

Johnny moved to California, where he resided until his passing. Johnny was known most in

his community as a hard worker, a man who loved his sports with a good meal and a die

hard Raiders fan. Yeah Yeah! He worked at Sears until he retired. Sears is also where he met

his wife, Lady Herdiese “Renee” and they wedd in November 2005 after dating a few years.

Anyone that knows Johnny knows he LOVED him some RENEE together they made some a

lot of memories.

Johnny was an artist in his own lane. He would hand make us beautiful celebratory cards

from birthdays, anniversaries, graduations you name he would do it. And let's not forget the

amazing paintings. I'm sure all of us that have received those cards

know what I'm talking about.
