    I worked with Dion for a couple of years, when he came on board at the showroom, back when it was The Kohler Bath House. He would always brighten the room with his presence. He always had funny stories or jokes, and he always made me laugh so hard. His happy-go-lucky, welcoming demeanor always made his clients feel comfortable and he easily earned their trust. He had great ideas, worked hard and played hard. Dion left the world a better place for having known him.

    In one of the stars I shall be living,
    In one of them I shall be laughing,
    And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing,
    When you look at the night sky.
    -The Little Prince

    I know Dion’s star will always shine brightly, as he always has.

    Sincerely,
    Melissa Yarger Capone

    I am in total shock. I just talked to Dion a few weeks ago about business.
    And while I did not know Dion outside if the Showroom he managed it he did mention his daughter with great love and admiration even in our talks regarding product,

    Dion had a Very gifted sense I design and will be missed,

    With deepest sympathy

    Dion was one of a kind. Always admired his knowledge of what was trending in the Plumbing Industry. When I needed information to sound like I knew what I was taking about, I’d talk to Dion first. He was always very generous with his time. His enthusiasm was contagious and his friendship appreciated. He will be missed.

    My most sincere condolences to the entire family. So sad when I learned of Dion’s passing.

    He had an everlasting impact on my life. He showed me the joy you can have from smiling. He showed me the power you can have by being compassionate to others, how caring is a great trait to have on this life on earth.

    I pray that God holds Dion’s family close to Him during these most difficult times. I pray The Lord blesses them with wonderful memories of Dion to help them until they are, one day, reunited in His Holy Kingdom.

    In Jesus name, Amen.

    There just aren’t words. The Carter Crew certainly held The Wilson Clan in a special place in our hearts, and the thought of Dion being gone from us all, seems awfully unfair. I promise you, that his, and your, places in our heart will live on forever. We are so incredibly sorry for your loss. He was kind, funny, hard working, loving, dedicated, playful and the list goes on. I’m only sad I did not tell him all these things while he was here to hear them for himself. I will always regret that. We are lifting you all in prayer, and wishing a peace in your hearts that you know could only come from Our Lord, Our Healer, Our Comforter, Our Father.

    Dion will be missed by many, none more than you. May your family memories always be sweet. God promises to never give us more than we can handle, but he never said it was easy. Dion would always want you to be strong and continue to aspire for the best that this life has to offer. Pam and I will continue to lift up your family in prayer as this time is so challenging. But remember, you have been blessed to have been loved and inspired by the one and only Dion Wilson!
