It's been a while since I've seen my cousin Dillon, I remember the great memory of summers long ago.... I was able to find some pictures of Dillon from my Mother's photo albums.... I hope
You all enjoy them.... I will
Miss you, my cousin and always love you.
My memory of Dillion was when he was home with his parents he would go to the park walking barefoot to go to Scenic Hill Park and swim early in the morning and returning home late. He was so respectful and kind and could sing like his mother. I will always cherish this family to because they have been so kind to me and my children.

Dillon was one of the kindest people I ever knew. We were friends at a very lonely time in my life. Yet, he made me feel as if I was rich in friendships.
His home was a place of comfort. Every Sunday, my friends and I would gather at Dillon's warm and inviting home to play board games - the kinds of roleplaying games that took 6-8 hours. So we would all be there for quite a while. We cracked jokes, shared home cooked food, maybe used silly voices for the characters we were playing - and Dillon was such an integral part of that joy. Dillon did the best voices, understood the complex rules the best, and was the best game master for these experiences.
I cannot overstate how much fun these times were. We played these games for a couple of years together, and for one of my birthdays, he and his closest friend Ally created custom characters for me using photoshop. It was one of the most thoughtful gifts I have ever received, and I will always cherish them.
Dillon was an incredibly kind person. He opened his home to immigrants, to families, to those who needed him. He opened his heart to all of those he cared for in his professional position. He was always doing things for other people. He was a pillar of the music scene in Memphis, and loved by everyone who knew him. I miss him so much.
I love you Dillon. I wish we could have had more time together.
Dillon IS a beautiful spirit!
I remember when Dillon was a toddler, and he and Cindy would laugh and play in the yard, while Tony cut the grass.
May God’s grace and mercy hold you close.

My very first memory of Dillion is that a very young age… My son, TAYLOR, and Dillon we’re in a baby contest at the Piggly Wiggly in Raleigh… I believe they were about six months old. Basically I remember it being a crawling contest to see which one could get to the other in the quickest. Well, TAYLOR lost… He just said they are and looked at everyone and I believe Dillio won!! TAYLOR and Dillion wire lifelong friends. It started way back when and then they went to elementary school together. There were basketball games, soccer games, church at scenic Hills, overnight camps at scenic Hills, swimming at scenic Hills, all of the overnight stays at. Dillion’s house. TAYLOR even went for a weeklong trips out of town to. Dillion’s grandparents house. Fishing trips. TAYLOR. Dillion or are the best of friends. Tony and Cindy were such a wonderful and caring part of TAYLOR‘s life in the early years. They helped me with TAYLOR so much and was so good to TAYLOR. Dillion was such an awesome kid. He always had a twinkle in his eyes. Tony, Cindy and. Dillion I have always held a very special place in my heart, even though Tom has gone on and we’ve lost contact some, they were never far from my thoughts. My heart breaks for Tony and Cindy and the rest of the family and his friends. He was an amazing human being. You are in the arms of the angels now, Dilllion.

Dillon is one of the reasons I became a gamer. He showed me Kingdom Hearts and we played Smash Bros at youth group lock ins. My most recent memory of him was running into him at rec room on New Year’s Eve. I invited him to play Smash Bros with me.
Dillon was always so kind and caring. He is going to be missed. I’ll always cherish the memories we had.
We are so sorry to hear of this loss. Prayers for his family and St. John’s.
keeping your heart and home open. he was always so eager to host hang outs, or even house whole families in need. i love you and will miss you dillon.
