Dillon Conlin Obituary (2005 - 2024)

Dillon Michael J. Conlin, just 19 years old, tragically lost his life on August 26, 2024, in a motor vehicle accident near Spiceland, Indiana. He was born February 12, 2005, in Indianapolis, and attended high school in Richmond. Following high school, Dillon was employed as a factory worker for both Honda and Toyota. Dillon never met a stranger. He was a friend to all. He was the type of person who would gladly give the shirt off of his back if it meant helping someone else. He had a way of making everyone smile with his big grin, and could brighten anyone's day with his giant bear hugs. Dillon will be missed, but remembered so fondly by all who had the privilege of knowing him and loving him. Dillon is survived by his mother Kayla (Bobby Sizemore) Stager; his step-father Thomas (Toni) Stager; his brother Tom Stager; his sister Cali Stager; his grandparents Steve & Cyndi Fugate, Mary Conlin & Dave Mikula, and Dannielle & David Lambert; his great-grandparents Patty & Ronnie Bolen; his aunts Erika (Brandon) Cappa and Courtney (Kyle) Haskins; his uncle Rick (Wren) Moffitt; his great uncles Mike Fugate and Nick (Crystal) Bolen; numerous cousins who loved and adored him; and the Durhams, who welcomed and loved Dillon as part of their family. Dillon also leaves behind his girlfriend Kaylie and her son Lukas. Dillon found more joy in being a father figure to Lukas than he did anything else in life. His hope was that he would shape Lukas's life as much as Lukas had shaped his. Services for Dillon will be held at Dunnichay Funeral Home this Friday, August 30, 2024. An hour of visitation for close friends and family will begin at 10:00am, followed by a brief funeral ceremony officiated by Rev. Scott Blaylock. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you remind every young driver of the importance of wearing a seatbelt. Seatbelts save lives.
