Dillon Ray Mayes Obituary

The son of Bret and April (Holden) Mayes, Dillion was born on December 17, 1997, in Aurora, Missouri. Living his life to the fullest, Dillon never met a stranger and had a smile that will never be forgotten.

Some of Dillon's' favorite pastimes were tinkering with cars, skateboarding, bikes, and listening to music. He loved the outdoors and spending time with his boys, who were his pride and joy.
