Dillon was born on September 21, 1994 in Alamogordo, NM to David and Channon Collier. Dillon was a 2013 graduate of the New Mexico School for the Blind and Visually Impaired. Dillon had an insatiable appetite for life, sports, and food! There are few in this life who loved with the fervor that he did. Among his favorites were his momma, his friends, and Tom Brady! He will be fondly remembered for his sense of humor, singing skills, and sneaky ability to get and hide snacks. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends and was always a willing participant in their shenanigans. He loved life and people like few others. His presence will forever be missed, and his memory cherished by all that had the privilege of knowing him.

He is survived by his parents, David and Channon Collier; sister, Courtney Holly (husband Brett and children Jaylee, Carter and Wyatt); sister, Kirstin Manning (husband Kevin and daughter Camdyn); grandmothers, JoLene Bulman and Sissy Hallman; aunts and uncles, Kelley Moreno, Patrick Collier (wife LeeAnn), Dawn Hix (husband James); and cousins, Tyler and Chaley Moreno and Alena, Dakota and Paige Hix.
Dillon is preceded in death by his brother, Holden Curfew; grandparents, Roger Bulman (Papa), Carol Bunce (Meme), David Preston Collier (Granddad), and Dallas Keel (brother in law)

The family would like to express their gratitude to the countless friends and family members that have shown tremendous outpourings of love along with prayers, food, and donations. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Alstrom Syndrome International at https://www.alstrom.org/support/.

Arrangements are under the care of Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home & Crematory of Midland. Online condolences may be made at www.npwelch.com

My precious Dillon... I will never be the same on earth losing you but will rejoice in your healing and life with the Lord. All you ever wanted was to be like everyone else - but little did you know my sweet, sweet child - you were already so much more. I love you big as the sky. Save me a place in Heaven. Love, Mom

I’m very sorry to hear about Dillon, I was a driver for him at the NM School for the Blind. Dillon was always a polite, young gentleman and we always enjoyed talking to him about sports or music. I have many fond memories of him that I will always cherish. I will be keeping his family in my prayers during this difficult time.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
