James "Jim" Raoul Dion, Jr.

March 1, 1947 — June 13, 2020

James “Jim” Raoul Dion, Jr., 73, of Ringgold, passed away on Saturday, June 13, 2020 at his residence. After serving 9 years in the U.S. Army Security Agency, Jim went to college in Costa Mesa, California, and resided in the Memphis, Tennessee area for 15 years before coming to the Chattanooga area in 1993. He spent over 30 years in the commercial roofing industry (which none of us thought would work out because he was so particular about clean hands) and made a pretty darn good living at it. He was an avid gun collector, and he loved to travel in his man-cave: a 41-foot diesel pusher fondly known as “The Clacker.”

He was preceded in death by his parents, James Raoul and Mary Rose Luterrotti Brookins Dion (Kephart) and brothers, James and William Brookins.

He leaves behind to cherish his memory his wife of 46 years, Micki Dion; daughter, Danielle Monique (Russell) Horner, granddaughter Sarah Elizabeth Horner and great granddaughter Isabella Marie Diaz; daughter Jennifer Leigh Dion; step-son, John P. (Rhonda) Jackson and grandchildren Tyler Roberson, Bella Grace Jackson and Adian Pearce Jackson; niece, Robin (Terry) Burkhart and great-nieces Danielle (Eric) Rosen and Bre Michelle Burkhart; nephew, Jeff (Connie) Brookins and great-nephew and niece Ryan (Jordan) Brookins and Randi (Chip) Carr; niece, Lisa Clendenin and great-niece Jessica (Matt) Powell; brother-in-law, Charles (Dinah) Bogert and nephew Chuck Bogert; sister-in-law, Patti (Monty) Westmoreland and nephews and niece Joshua (Valerie) Westmoreland, Caleb Westmoreland, and Leah (Jeremiah) Johnson; brother-in-law, Joe (Diana) Harwell and nephews and nieces Chad (Andrea) Harwell, Erica (Chris) Stevens, Alison Harwell Wallace, Grant, Brett, Blake, Jared Harwell, Sarah (Jonathan) Billings, and Brianna Harwell.
