Ryan and Kinnon have been friends ever since the Dodsons moved to Arkadelphia in 2008.

Mattie is the older sister of Kinnon by 18 months. Ever since he was born, Kinnon and Mattie have been fast friends.

After fifteen years of school together, Mattie and Kinnon will graduate together this December and walk together the following May.
Rickey Rogers
Groomsman
Rickey Rogers will begin his senior year of high school this Autumn. Although he is homeschooled, all of the Arkadelphia high schoolers know him because he excelled in multiple sports at Arkadelphia High School. Rickey is an all-star athlete, having won multiple state rings in both football and wrestling. Kinnon became friends with Rickey when he invited Rickey to a Fall Retreat with his youth group in middle school. They came to discover that, although one was an all-star athlete and the other an all-star nerd, they had incredibly similar personalities. This led to a deep friendship where each could keep the other entertained for hours and give spiritual encouragement during the good times and bad.

They became friends at church, and soon discovered that they lived on the same block. From then on, Josh and Kinnon began to hangout at each other’s houses and on OBU’s campus, playing various sports and generally goofing off. As Kinnon’s dad once said, “Josh has the strength of a grizzly and the heart of a teddy bear.”
