It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Michael Dillon McCarty, 41, a resident of St Joseph Missouri, on April 1st, 2024.

Dillon was born on May 10, 1982, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Son of Heidi (Mullen) Wilson and the late Patrick Michael McCarty. Dillon is survived by his two sisters, Allison (Kevin) Reed and Carson (Mason) Meier as well as his brothers, Buck Wilson and Beau (Maria) Wilson. Although he didn't have children of his own, he loved spending time with all his nieces and nephews, Heidi, Kolton, Annika, Kurtis, Melody, Keith, Cale, Mason and Ollie.

Dillon enjoyed making others smile and had an unending supply of dad jokes, corny puns, and pranks. He delighted in cooking and grilling for others. With such an outgoing and charismatic personality he never knew a stranger. He was clever, resourceful and adaptable. He considered his haggling and negotiation skills an art form. The most genuine and accepting person one had the pleasure of knowing.  Dillon was a dreamer, full of ideas and possibilities.

Fondly known as "Uncle Pickle" by his nieces and nephews he would frequently entertain, play cards and board games. Dillon was adventurous and daring, usually the life of the party.  He enjoyed spending his free time thrifting, reading scifi, playing video games and tending to his plants.  He will be a reminder that there is light in dark times and laughter in difficult situations. We will miss him more than words can express.

Mr. McCarty has been cremated under the direction of Heaton~Bowman~Smith & Sidenfaden Chapel.

Cremation was Dillon's last hope for a smoking hot body !

A casual celebration of life will be held on 1:00 - 3:00 PM, Saturday, May 4th, 2024 at Green Acres Banquet Hall, 3500 North Village Drive, St. Joseph, MO, 64506. All who knew Dillon are welcome to attend.
