With deepest sorrow, we announce that Dillon Chase Carter (Dee Dee, Dill, Dilly, Dill Pickle), age 25, our most beloved son, brother, nephew, uncle, grandson, family member and friend passed away suddenly on Friday, April 10, 2020.

Dillon grew up in Greenwell Springs, LA (Central). At a young age he had a passion for gymnastics and theatre. He was in many school plays and talent shows and loved the spot light. He loved school and had a brilliant mind. Dillon attended Bellingrath Elementary, Episcopal School of Baton Rouge, Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts, and was a Summa Cum Laude graduate of Central High School in May of 2013.

Everyone who knew Dillon, even just for a little while, knows we lost a “Super Star” who shined so bright. Dillon was a beautiful loving man who touched so many hearts. His greatest treasures in life were his family and the friendships he formed. He loved with his whole heart and was loved by so many. He enjoyed performing drag as Jacqueline Hyde. He competed and won the title of Miss Capital City Pride 2013. Dillon was an avid make-up artist. He absolutely adored all things “make- up” and it was his passion from a very early age. Lady Gaga was also big part of his life and he was a “Little Monster”. Dillon LOVED to travel more than anything in this world. He had traveled to so many states and kept track of everywhere he had been and he looked forward to seeing the world.
