James "Pat" Patrick Dodd was the son of Jesse Earl Dodd, Sr. and Anna Beatrice Garner Dodd. He was born November 6, 1954 in Liberty, Missouri. He departed this earth on Thursday, March 3, 2022 in North Kansas City, MO. He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Georgann Prince, Betty Blackwell, Grace Gantt, and Alice Gantt; and brothers, Theodore Davis, George Lee Page, Lloyd Dodd, and Rev. Jesse E. Dodd, Jr.
He graduated from Liberty High School and went on to work for Lester Moore Automotive Group and Tiffany Springs Acura for over 35 years. He met the beautiful Margaret, they married and had two children Tarena and James Jr. He was also blessed with two bonus children, Tyrone, who preceded him in death, and Jewell Dodd. James may have had only two children but they gave him 17 grandchildren. Six of those grandchildren are twins, three sets of twin boys!
Pat’s favorite holiday was Christmas. He Loved watching westerns and Chief’s games. But his biggest passion was grilling! He could cook a whole Thanksgiving on the grill if you asked! The smell of his BBQ always put a smile on my face. He also loved to fish and hunt. He has given precious memories to those who will forever cherish his memory.
He leaves behind those who will miss and cherish him, his son, James (Elashia) of Kansas City, MO; his daughter Tarena (David) Ketchens of Blue Springs, MO; sister, Myrna (Charles) Smith of Liberty, MO; brothers, William (Kathy), Kansas City, MO and John Dodd of Liberty, MO; and bonus sisters, Sonya Smith and Andrey Smith; and bonus nephew, Aaron Smith of Liberty, MO and a host of grandkids, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
