They were inseparable. Even though they each had their own room, they slept together every night in one room or the other. Dillon was very organized. He loved a clean room and his appearance was extremely important to him. He was very smart and learning came easy to him which sometimes made him bored with school. Dillon also loved to tell jokes. He always told his grandma, "Grandma, the funniest thing about you is you think you are funny!" Dillon worshipped his Uncle Tommy and followed him everywhere. They enjoyed skateboarding, quad riding and wrestling together. Dillon wrestled on the Blue Ridge Junior High wrestling team. When Dillon was very small, his dad worked in tire shops. Dillon carried a tire gauge everywhere with him and he checked everyone's tires. Most of the time these tire checks ended with a flat tire. Dillon loved arrowhead hunting, fishing, camping and elk bugling with his dad. Dillon's true passion was fishing, whether it was in a creek or at the dam at the lake, he would fish every day in the summer. He also loved to fish with his mother in Idaho. Dillon loved his great grandma Annabelle who also lived with him for three years. He loved to go to her room and watch TV with her. He would sit and talk to her for hours about her childhood. Dillon also loved to yard sale with his grandma, Jeannie. Dillon was very loving, witty, enthusiastic, happy, and intelligent. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
