Michael Dillon, a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, cherished brother, and loyal friend, passed away peacefully on January 21, 2026. He was welcomed into Heaven surrounded by the love of those who went before him and those whose lives he forever touched.
Michael was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Wilma Dillon and James R. Dillon, who shaped the values of love, loyalty, and strength that Mike carried throughout his life.
He is survived by his devoted wife of 20 years, Monica Dillon, the love of his life and constant companion. Together they built a life rooted in laughter, resilience, and unconditional love. Mike’s greatest joy was his family.
Mike was a proud and loving stepfather and grandfather. He is survived by his stepdaughters Jolé Moon of Charlotte, NC; Charity Padgett (Evan), and her children, Ryder and Hudson McGuire; Tearaney Lyon (Steve Olivarez) and her children, Nathan Espinoza, Talon and Druidess Olivarez and his stepson Gregory Lyon (Diana) and his daughter, Dacania Staley (Toby).
Mike is also survived by his siblings, with whom he shared a lifetime of memories: his sisters, Kathleen Dillon and Michele Moore; his nephew, Mitchell Moore; his niece, Meghan Meade (David Meade); his great‑nephew, Barrett; and his great‑niece, Maggie Jo.
He is further survived by his brother, Mark Dillon (Vicki Dillon), of Salt Lake City, Utah, and his nieces and nephew: Brandy Dillon (Cody Alvey), of Kansas; Krista Dillon (Francisco Badillo); and Dakota Dillon (Cassandra).
Mike lived life with a joyful spirit and an open heart. He found peace and freedom riding his motorcycle, camping under open skies, and fishing by quiet waters. Fun-loving and endlessly devoted, he was happiest when surrounded by family, sharing stories, laughter, and simple moments that became lasting memories.
Those who knew Mike will remember his warm smile, generous heart, and unwavering love for his family. His legacy lives on through the many lives he touched and the love he gave so freely.
