Dior passed away peacefully, surrounded by love and light, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and determination that will be cherished by all who had the privilege to know him. Born on January 12, 1988, in Charlotte, North Carolina, Dior was the cherished son of Reynold and Lisa Obas. From a young age, Dior exhibited a spirited and compassionate nature, traits that would go on to define his journey through life. With a heart as big as his dreams, Dior was always eager to lend a helping hand and support those around him, embodying the true essence of community and love. Dior was a devoted father to his son, Dior Obas Jr., who was the light of his life. Together, they shared countless adventures and moments of joy, bound by a love that transcends this earthly realm. His son will carry forward Dior’s legacy, a testament to the enduring bond between a father and his child. As a brother, Dior was a source of unwavering support and camaraderie to his siblings—Kejin Obas, Tommy Obas, and Magnes Obas Terry. Each shared memory is a treasure, and the laughter and love they experienced together will forever echo in their hearts. Dior’s siblings remember him as a guiding light, always there to offer advice, share a joke, or simply be present in times of need. Dior's life was a tapestry of diverse interests and pursuits. He was known for his passion for creativity, whether through his love of music, art, or storytelling. Those who knew him were often captivated by his ability to find beauty in the ordinary and transform it into something extraordinary.

He touched the lives of many, leaving behind a legacy of compassion, creativity, and love. His gentle soul and infectious smile will be missed by all who knew him, but his memory will live on in our hearts forever. In keeping with the family's wishes, a private funeral ceremony will be held to honor Dior’s life. While we mourn his loss, we also celebrate the remarkable life he led and the countless lives he touched along the way. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that those wishing to honor Dior’s memory consider making a donation to a charity close to his heart, ensuring that his spirit of generosity continues to make a difference in the world. As we bid farewell to Dior, let us remember the profound impact he had on our lives and carry forward his legacy of love, kindness, and creativity. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
