One local resident suffered dual losses during Dayton’s summer tragedies
Dion Green's home sustained major damage during May's tornadoes. Months later, he held his dad as he died during the Oregon District shooting.
Dion Green and his father, Derrick Fudge, are well-known names in the Dayton community. Before being killed in the mass shooting that took the lives of nine people and injured countless more, Fudge was a handyman contractor and a Salvation Army bell ringer.
Green works at a men’s homeless shelter helping the less fortunate, although he is now been faced with one crisis after another since his property was damaged in May’s tornadoes and his father was killed protecting Green and his girlfriend, Donita Cosey.
“The house can be rebuilt,” says Green. “I can’t rebuild a father.”
