R.I.P. Dillon 🙏🙏🙏
Our hearts are broken. We will cherish the memories of the times that we were all together. Dillon was a bright spark, and his light will not be forgotten.
I want to express my deepest condolences for the loss of your son.
My heart aches for the loss of Dillon. I’m so grateful I got to spend time with him and Colton at Odom Academy. I absolutely loved having either twin in my classes, we were almost always guaranteed to be laughing. My biggest regret is losing touch with them when I moved from Beaumont. Sending lots of love and peace to his family during this tough time.
This is so unreal for me and breaks my heart. I had the pleasure of knowing Dillon since high school, he was one of the most kindest people I’ve ever known. He had a huge open heart, great ideas, wits and a passion for all things good! My memories of him are fond, full of laughter and trading thoughts and perspectives on a variety of topics. He was so interesting, full of wonder and he supported my ideas whenever I was unsure about. He truly was a great friend, and I’m grateful I had the opportunity to speak with him and share thoughts before we parted ways. He’s inspired me in ways that I’ll carry with me forever, I love you Dillon, rest easy! Sending my love, offering support and condolences to his family!
My heart aches for you as you go through this painful time – God bless you and keep you strong for the rest of your family! we have no control over a lot of what happens in life but know that the Lord is always with us!!
Oh my Robbie!😞. My thoughts, prayers and love go out to you and your family during this sad time. I pray for God’s strength for you ALL during this time of bereavement and upcoming days as well.
