Dillon Lawrence Stevens

AKA: Dilly, Pickles, and Big D

Dillon Lawrence Stevens was born on August 14, 1999, and unexpectedly left us heartbroken on the morning of June 23rd, 2025. He is survived by his parents, Bobbijo (Holcomb) and Heath Hines. He also leaves behind his brothers Nicholas, Eric, and Anthony, along with several Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. While we would love to list everyone that played a big part in Dillon's life there wouldn't be enough room on the page. As he would say, "Y'all are frickin' special."

Dilly was a Mama's boy from the start and didn't care who knew it. He never really cared about what other people thought, and that was part of his charm. He was one of kind, between his sense of humor and gentle nature.

He loved spending his time with family and friends; The "Holcomb" tattoo across his back was a testament to what family truly meant to him. You could catch him at the races on Saturday nights or fishing or traveling all over with friends. Always the social butterfly. He made friends easily with kind words and a smile that could turn your whole day around.Big D loved his time as a trucker. He enjoyed sharing stories about his travels, and pictures to go with them- every story was amazing. He was never afraid to listen to his loved one's stories either. 

As a well known and loved member of our community, the impact he left behind on the people he loved is and will always be immeasurable.

Dillon was an amazing young man, and an even better friend. We truck forward with his love as our fuel, and his memory as our engine.

Family and Friends are invited to a period of visitation on Monday, June 30, 2025, at the MacPherson Funeral Home, 5 Whig Street, Newark Valley, NY from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. A service celebrating his life will be held on Tuesday, July 1, 2025 at 11:00 at the MacPherson Funeral Home, with Pastor Chris Corlett Officiating. Burial will follow at Speedsville Cemetery, where Dillon will be laid to rest next to his maternal grandparents. Memories and condolences can be shared in his online guest book at www.macphersonfh.com
