Kelsey Paige Dillon, born on May 18, 1993, to Larry and Sherryl Dillon, passed away on December 18, 2025, at the age of 32 from an accidental drug overdose. Kelsey was born and raised in Colorado Springs, graduating from Cheyenne Mountain High School and the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. After completing her degree, Kelsey remained in Colorado Springs working with her dad in his medical practice and subsequently with a biotech research company as a Clinical Research Manager.
