Lewis Coseval Dozier

Lewis Coseval (LC) Dozier was born in the Mt. Calvary Community to the late Pressley Coseval (CV) Dozier II and Lora A. Dozier. He Transitioned peacefully early Tuesday Morning, August 5, 2025.

The oldest of ten (10) children, Lewis began his early education by attending school here in the Mt. Calvary community, and later graduated from Loris Training School in 1954. He joined and spent 4 years in the service of the United States Airforce. He later obtained a certificate of Accounting in Nashville, TN. He graduated from A&T University in Greensboro, NC, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business. He worked for Nabisco for nearly 10 years as an auditor. His work as an auditor and his military career took him to 48 of the 50 United States. He later relocated to Brunswick County, NC in 1975, and fell in love with the community. He loved farming, and partnered with a number of local residents in the Supply area. He Co-Founded the Royal Oaks Concerned Citizens Association (ROCCA). He served as its President until his death. He and his best friend, John Hankins, served as the guiding force of the organization, which is designed to serve the interest of the community. Lewis’ crowning achievement was acting as council for the community as they successfully overturned the plans of the Brunswick County establishment to place a landfill in the Royal Oaks community. He and his friend John Hankins were honored by the NAACP for their work in this effort.

Lewis spent his later years back in the Mt. Calvary Community, surrounded by the love of his family. He always said “family is very important,” which he considered his greatest gift. He will be missed by all who knew him. He was a loyal soldier for his fellow man and lived his life in the service of others.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Ernestine Allen. He leaves to cherish his memory, his brother, Rev Willie Joe Dozier(Mary), of Conway, SC., brother, Harold Dozier of Conway, SC, brother, Gilbert Dozier(Focell) of Florence, SC, brother Cletis Dozier(Linda), of Charlotte, NC, brother Charles Dozier(Marion) of Shallotte, NC, brother Walter Dozier of Conway, SC, Sister Loraine Mitchell(Leon) of Conway, SC, and sister Patrenia Dozier-Washington of Miami, FL.

He also leaves behind a host of Neises, Nephews, Relatives, and Friends.
