   I'm wanting to remove the suffix dots at the end of the excerpt, how can I go about doing this? Preferably via functions.php in my theme...

   You just need to add this code to functions.php file:

   function trim_excerpt($text)
   {
   return rtrim($text,'[...]');
   }
   add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'trim_excerpt');

   Or if you want that [...] to became just ... You can add this:

   function trim_excerpt($text)
   {
   	return str_replace(' [...]', '...', $text);
   }
   add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'trim_excerpt');

   Might be you want to change the dots with a read more link to the article. Than you can add this code:

   function trim_excerpt($text)
   {
   	return str_replace(' [...]', '<a href=' . get_permalink() . '>' . ' read more...</a>', $text);
   }
   add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'trim_excerpt');

   Good luck with your theme!
