LokenStrong

12/19/2024

To help keep Bob's legacy alive, all proceeds of this LokenStrong barrel will be donated in honor of Bob to the Dotson family. Please read the following to see who everyone is helping by purchasing!

Deputy Nicholas Dotson served at Oakland County Sheriff’s Office for 8 years (4 as a dispatcher and 4 as a deputy). Nick was a well respected member of the Cell Extraction Team during his time in Corrections and received multiple awards for his work in Dispatch & Corrections. Nick was loved by all his co-workers and brought a positive attitude and laughter to whomever he worked with. He was a family man and put his wife and child above all else. Nick tragically lost his life to cancer in December 2023, he leaves behind his wife, Delaney, and his son, Sullivan.

Donations from this fundraiser will be allocated to them to aid in expenses due to his unfortunate absence.

As the admin of this page, I’m excited to share some great news!

Benstein Liquor, located at 1050 Benstein Rd in Commerce Township, is once again supporting the Loken Strong fund by purchasing two barrels of Woodford Reserve Bourbon. First barrel will be available Monday Dec 23rd, they’re getting the bottles specially etched (see photo)! There will be approximately 180 bottles available, and they will be sold in-store only on a first-come, first-serve basis.

You can also call to purchase over the phone. Profits from the bottle sales will be donated in Bob’s honor. (More information on that to come.) The bottles will be available starting Monday for $56.99. Once I get a specific release time, I’ll share it here.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🎄🥃o

I talked with Meagan and got permission for this post since she won’t be able to make it.

We partnered with Bob several times to help purchase K9s for police departments as well as raise money for K9 equipment. We are looking for people to come bowl next Saturday. We are raising money for K9 equipment and to also help a retired K9 with some medical needs. Please come help us keep the passion and help we partnered with Bob to provide. Weather looks cold and wet Saturday so why not get a team and come bowl.

Please register by Thursday at: https://www.thecrosshairsfoundation.org/product/fur-courage-team-registration/

Any questions please reach out to Joe Miller.

Kyle, Caden, and Maddie are here again for this post. We are deeply saddened to let you all know that our dad has passed away early this morning. We are very sad but yet somewhat relieved that our dad is not suffering to this disease and sickness anymore. We just want to again extend our thanks and appreciation to you all throughout this journey. We know our dad is a warrior and we got to see it first hand. He stayed breathing until we were all awake at his side this morning. Thank you all for the support as my dad was often moved to tears to see how many people he had touched and loved throughout his career and life. Your support has truly kept him fighting and as we have had some family talks, we learned that he wasn’t scared and it is “just life” as he would say to us. He thanks and loved you all a million times over. 💜
