Maurice Dotson – a Certified Nursing Assistant in Austin, Texas – passed away on 17 April 2020, after suffering from COVID-19. Maurice was 51years old.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

His friends and family say he was devoted to the nursing home residents he cared for and that they are comforted knowing he knew and understood the risks of coronavirus, yet put the priority on his patients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“He was the type, he didn’t just leave at the end of his shift," his friend and former coworker Mona Surber said. "He went and told every single resident on that hall, 'I’m leaving, goodnight. Do you need anything before I leave?' And that was every single night – every single night.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“He was a very proud nurse's assistant, which is to be complimented," said nurse Bryan Zekan, who worked for a couple of years at the facility with Dotson and became friends with him. "The majority of all patient care happens at that level, so for somebody to keep a positive upbeat attitude after doing it for decades is amazing. That speaks a lot to his character.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n
