Thomas Dillon Obituary
Thomas was a devoted husband, father, and friend whose legacy is woven through the lives of those he touched. After earning his Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Cincinnati, OH, he carved out a distinguished career in Marketing and Sales. His professional journey was marked by integrity and a passion that inspired colleagues and clients alike.
Outside of work, Thomas embraced life with passion and enthusiasm. He enjoyed nothing more than a day on the golf course, a game of pick-up basketball, the companionship of his many beloved dogs, and the camaraderie found in Sunday football gatherings. These passions were not just hobbies; they were expressions of his zest for life and the connections he cherished with others.
Thomas is preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Dolores Dillon, and his beloved wife, Sharon Elizabeth Donohue. He leaves behind a loving family to carry forward his memory: his sons, Ryan T. Dillon of Arlington, VA; Ross E. Dillon and his spouse, Aretta L. Fuller of Portland, OR; and Keith D. Dillon and his wife, Anna Bea Dillon of Archer Lodge, NC.
Though no services are planned at this time, Thomas's family invites all who knew him to celebrate his life by embracing the values he held dear-love for family, pursuits of intellect, and a spirit of kindness and compassion.
Thomas Lloyd Dillon will be remembered as a beacon of personal resilience, whose warmth and wisdom left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
