Addison Davis Dodd
d. May 26, 2016
Addison Davis Dodd, 45, died on Thursday, May 26, 2016, at the UVA Medical Center. Addison was born in Lynchburg, Va. on February 28, 1971, to parents Leighton B. Dodd and Mary Ann Davis Dodd.
He graduated from E.C. Glass High School in 1989, and then attended the University of Virginia where he graduated in 1993 with Bachelor of Arts degrees in English and African Studies. Addison was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and has cherished the many friendships with his fraternity brothers over the years. In 1993 after graduation, Addison moved to Savannah, Ga. where he was a real estate professional, and where he later met his husband, Jan-Huib Franssen, in 2004.
After 11 months of intense traveling between their two countries, in 2005 Addison and his dog, Abbey, joined Jan in The Hague, The Netherlands. In 2006, they became registered partners. While there, Addison achieved his Master’s degree in English and American Literature at Leiden University. Addison and Jan-Huib married on May 14, 2016, at the UVA Chapel on the grounds of Addison’s favorite place, the University of Virginia.
In addition to his parents, husband, and their beloved German shorthaired pointer, Duke, Addison is also survived by his sister, Shelby D. Hollister-Share (Kevin) of Danbury, Conn.; and his brothers, L. Stacey Dodd (Amy) of Lynchburg, Va., Jarrett S. Dodd (Claire) of Lynchburg, Va., and Jason E. Dodd (Catherine) of Norfolk, Va. Addison also had very special relationships and will be sorely missed by his nieces, Morgan Hollister, Macon Hollister, Casey Hollister, Harper Dodd, and Julia Dodd; his nephews, Harrison Dodd, Jack Dodd, Stewart Dodd, Hampton Dodd, Stacey B. Dodd, and Joe Dodd; and his great-nephew, Leighton Peters.
A celebration of Addison’s life will be held at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, May 31, 2016, at Tharp Funeral Home in Lynchburg, Va.
