Dorsey James Easton

Dorsey James Easton of Blytheville, formerly of Chicago, Ill., was born July 3, 1963, in Chicago, to his parents, Emile and Vinella Easton. Dorsey accepted Christ at an early age. He graduated from Harlan High School in 1982. After high school, Dorsey was employed at Concord Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Oak Lawn, Ill. He was also a Michel Jackson fan; he owned a Michael Jackson collection that he didn’t want anyone to even touch. He was an avid sports fan, especially the Chicago Bears, and let us not forget his love of Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies.
