Ian Dillon

Ian Patrick Dillon, 31, of North Little Rock claimed his victory on Saturday, May 23, 2015. Patrick was born in Little Rock on July 14, 1983 to John P. Dillon and Patti L. Davenport.

Patrick was known to be a faithful warrior and servant of Christ. Those that knew him will miss his sweet kindness, quick wit and amazing intellect. Even though he fought Cystic Fibrosis vigorously his whole life, he never allowed it to interfere with his pursuit of music, knowledge and most importantly his love and devotion in service of his Lord. Even when ill, if there was any way possible, you would find him on Sunday praising his God as a member of the Saddle Creek Church Praise Team. Patrick completed his journey on Earth surrounded by the love of family and friends with his usual dignity and grace. We rejoice that he no longer suffers the physical burden of his illness and celebrate knowing our Lord will be welcoming a wonderful soul home, where he can again sing praises before our God and Father.

He is survived by his father, John P. (Della) Dillon of Maumelle; mother, Patti L. Davenport of North Little Rock; brothers, Sean Dillon (Deanna) of Conway, Jonathon Seaver of Maumelle; sister, Alexis Seaver of Maumelle; brother, Max Oliver of North Little Rock; and his nephew and niece which he so adored, Aidyn Dillon and Zoey Dillon of Conway; grandparents Fred and Irma Prentice of Heber Springs, William and Jeannette Lisko of Morgan and was preceded in death by his grandparents Mike and Sybil Dillon. He is also survived by a host of loving family and friends.

Per Patrick's wishes there will not be a public memorial.
