Dillon James Torok, 32, of Muncy, passed away on Thursday, October 10, 2024, at UPMC Williamsport. Born on November 28, 1991, in Williamsport, Dillon lived his life with great courage while battling Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Despite the challenges of the disease, Dillon filled his years with love, music, and community involvement.
Dillon’s family, including his parents James Torok, Jr., and Lisa (Clayton) Torok, have shared how proud they are of his strength and resilience. Music was Dillon’s true passion. He created a catalog of music on platforms like Spotify and YouTube and hosted "Wicked Loon Radio" under the persona Killerbeat Dill on Lucky Star Radio, where he connected with listeners and shared his creativity.
As the community learns of Dillon’s passing, they’ve come together to express their love and support. Messages of condolences have been pouring in on social media. Teri Simcox shared, "Dave and I send our heartfelt condolences and prayers to Jim and Lisa and family." Bruce Myers added, "So sorry for your loss, prayers for you and your family," while Melissa Sones-Little wrote, "My heart goes out to James and his family." Other community members, like Heather Townsend Zimmerman, remembered Dillon as "a great person and student in school."
To help cover Dillon’s final expenses, his family, including his mother Lisa Torok, has set up a fundraiser. Due to Dillon’s and his brother Blake’s diagnosis with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, they were not eligible for life insurance. Dillon’s parents expressed their gratitude for the almost 33 years they had with him, as many with this condition have a much shorter life expectancy. The community has already responded generously, with donors like Joan Rojas and Emily Snyder contributing to support the family.
We extend our deepest condolences to Dillon’s family during this incredibly difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all, and we hope that the love and memories you shared with Dillon bring you some peace.
