Born in New Bedford, he was the son of the late Ida (Furtado) and Maurice F. Dion.
Maurice had a great sense of humor and always made everyone laugh. An avid musician who especially enjoyed playing the drums, he was a fan of the Beatles and Elvis.
A perfect day for Maurice would be to enjoy the sunshine with his family while drinking Budweiser and having a littleneck boil.
He is survived by a daughter, Heather (Dion) Medeiros and her husband Keith of Acushnet; three sisters, Joanne (Dion) Thibodeau and her husband Paul of East Freetown, Maryjane Dion of Acushnet and Janice Dion of Acushnet; three grandchildren, Thomas, Tiffany and Cody Gagne; two great-grandchildren, Lylah and Elijah Gagne; three nieces, Stephanie Gagne, Micaela Dion and Tracy Hillman; three nephews, Brandon Dion, Todd Dion and Jacob Souto; godchild, Crystal Benoit and many loving friends.
His Visitation will be Saturday, February 19, 2022 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. A funeral service will take place at 11 a.m. in the ROCK FUNERAL HOME, 1285 Ashley Blvd., New Bedford, MA 02745. For online tribute: www.rock-funeralhome.com.
