Lydon Avery Preston, 22 of Akron, departed our earthly world to continue his spiritual journey on February 27, 2022. Lydon was born on September 14, 1999 in Fort Collins Colorado to Scott D. and Shawndy (Lyon) Preston. Born in the city but, a country boy at heart. He attended Jefferson County Schools- including being part of a local Vocational School, Warren Tech. There he studied Auto Customization and participated in the S.T.E.M. Program.

From a very young age, Lydon was extremely creative, imaginative, and resourceful. Anything he touched turned to magic- talented beyond belief.

His hobbies included collecting miniatures, making items on his 3-D printer, games of any kind, and building.driving RC cars with his father Scott.

Lydon was compassionate, kind, and had an amazing sense of humor. He wanted to go out of his way for anyone, whether he knew them or not. Lydon would also do anything he could to make you smile or laugh. It was impossible to stayin a bad mood around him.

He worked at Odell's (Soopers) in Akron for about 3 years after moving to Akron in 2017 to help caretake for his grandfather David Preston. Through his time at Odell's he was able to know the community, which he loved dearly. The last several months, Lydon had started working at Tharp's Enterprise (Napa) in Akron. He really enjoyed the new challenges and looked forward to growing with the company. Oh how he loved fixing things and helping people fix things.

Lydon is survived by his father Scott D. Preston, his mother Shawndy (Lyon) Preston, sister Liliah Preston, as well as aunts, uncles, cousins, and dearest friends.
