Shirley (Shirl) Vincent Doss, age 59, of Abingdon, Va., peacefully went home to be with the Lord after a brief struggle with cancer on April 26, 2018. He was the son of the late Henry P. Doss and Ora M. Rouse Doss of Abingdon, Va.
Shirl loved life and worked hard all his life even after becoming disabled from a fall. He was a truck driver for many years prior to disability.

He was also a caregiver to his sister Sandra during her battle with cancer. He was a member of Denton Valley Baptist Church.
