Thomas Grant Dillon It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Thomas Grant Dillon, 79 years old, of Littleton, Colorado, who passed away on September 28, 2025 peacefully in his home.

He was a respected leader in the telecommunications industry, helping shape its growth and direction up until his last day and also served in the National Guard.

Tom, as he was affectionately known, was a pillar of strength in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him. He cherished his family most and loved hunting birds with his bird dogs. He had a passion for golf and a natural talent that showed every time he stepped onto the course. He also found joy with a fishing pole in his hand and the water at his feet.

Tom is survived by the love of his life, Janet; two sets of twins Christina (Kevin) Stolpmann, Gina (Cory) Lambert, Beau (Nicole) Dillon, and Justin (Pennie) Dillon; and his eight grandchildren: Courtney, Paige, Jake, Jordan, Ella, Ashley, Melanie, and Bailey.
