Kelly Dillon Obituary
He was born on Feb. 4, 1957 in Tawas City to Bill and Arlene Dillon (Bronson). Kelly graduated from Tawas Area Schools in 1975. He later attended the Flint Institute of Barbering.
His career spanned over 30 years as the owner and barber at the Hi-Lo Clipper Barber Shop in Centerline. Kelly enjoyed sailing and he was a car fanatic. He was a football fan and rooted for MSU and the Green Bay Packers. Kelly was a cat lover too and it was common for him to take in and adopt every stray cat that came along.
He is survived by his mother, Arlene Dillon; two brothers, Sean and Dan Dillon, who are both of Tawas City; and several cousins. Kelly was preceded in death by his father, Bill Dillon; two siblings, Christopher and Brennan; and several aunts and uncles.

Sad to hear of Kelly's passing. I knew him from high school where he always brightened up your day. I remember him as being slightly shy but wanting to be friendly to all. He had a way of fitting in, no matter where you found him; the classroom, the lunchroom, the hallway gatherings or just bumping into him on the street. I would not be surprised to learn that he lived the rest of his life as a kind and friendly soul. Cheers to a good old classmate.

Dear Aunt Arlene, Sean and Danny, I was saddened to learn of Kelly's passing. Kelly was the perfect cousin, fun, always a smile on his face and easy to spend time with. The Dillon Family reunions will not be the same without having Kelly at the Legion Hall. Every summer while home visiting Tawas, I stop at the Legion cemetery to visit Uncle Bill, Christopher and Brennan's resting place. There was always something special to having the last name "Dillon". Kelly Dillon Rest in Peace. Sincerely Cousin Mickey

My sincere condolences and sympathy to Kelly´s family. We both attended FIB at the same time. Lost touch after I moved from Tawas. He was a great guy. Cherish the memories and remember the good times
