Dillon was born in Abbeville, Louisiana on March 29, 1991, and was raised between Texas and Louisiana. He eventually moved to Largo, Florida where he found his peace.

He was employed by Portable Pumping Systems, Inc. in Largo, Florida, and was known for his strong work ethic and commitment to excellence.

While life presented Dillon with its fair share of challenges, he faced them head-on with unwavering determination and strength of character.

Her unwavering loyalty and guidance were pivotal in helping Dillon achieve success in his battle against addiction.
