Talon Dawson Memorial Scholarship Fund

As a freshman, he received an academic scholarship to attend Oakland University where he was a junior studying mechanical engineering. He was 21 years old.

Our mission is to create a living memorial to honor the impact of Talon Dawson in the community by providing a scholarship to a student who shares his passion for cars and the automotive field Talon, also known as TJ, graduated with Honors in 2016 from Avondale High School where he played soccer, dove for the swim team, and received the Student Athlete Award. As a small child, Talon loved taking t

hings apart and putting them back together and that continued to be one of his favorite hobbies. He loved his Subaru car and worked hard to save his money to pursue his passion for his car. Talon also enjoyed intramural sports with his friends. Talon died suddenly June 10, 2018. A devoted son, brother, grandson, nephew and great friend, Talon was deeply loved and will be sorely missed.
