Dillon Kenneth White
January 24, 1995 - June 13 2021
Dillon Kenneth White, 26, of Sweet Home went to heaven on June 13, 2021, in Crawfordsville. He was born in Lebanon to Tami K. White and Charlie Davis.
Dillon grew up in Sweet Home and continued to live in the area for his adult life. He worked at Burger King for his first job, then on to White's Electronics in the Paint Shop. He loved logging and was an excellent Truck Driver.
He loved fishing, hunting, snowboarding, boating and flying in the airplane with Chuck Fitzsimmons. He also enjoyed watching car races, camping, going with Grandpa to Montana prospecting and to Florida fishing, where he caught the biggest Sail Fish and just being in the great outdoors or in his words "The Woods."
His Mother always called Dillon her "Social Butterfly." The butterflies are out now, which is a little sign he is close by. Dillon loved helping people, he had a very kind heart, loved everyone and didn't know a stranger. He enjoyed going to the Sweet Home Christian Church. Pastor Dale Robinson made him feel welcome and they had a lot of chats.
First and foremost, Dillon loved his son, Sawyer, and his family, with all his heart.

Dillon was not only my cousin, but one of my best friends growing up. Although when we grew older I never forgot about him. I am hurt that him and I grew apart when we grew up, but he always had a place in my heart. I remember this one winter he came up to Alaska to visit my family and I. We went to Hiltop Ski Area, I believe it was his first time snowboarding and while we were snowboarding, Mount Spur had a volcanic eruption. Covering the ground in volcanic ash and soot. He was scheduled to leave the next day, but with the volcano eruption, him and I had hoped that flights would be canceled and he would be able to stay for the next few days. I love and miss you Dillon. I will forever remember you.
