Our dearly beloved Gentle Giant and Big Baby, Diante Dontrell Allison's journey on this walk of life came to a close on Tuesday, June 23, 2026 with family surrounding him with love. Born May 24, 1996, he was the son of Amie H. Allison and Bruce C. Isaac, Jr.; stepmother, Carolyn McIntosh and the late Anthony McIntosh. This is a difficult time for our family as we mourn the loss of our gentle giant. We have a Merciful Lord who is our Maker; and we give thanks for Diante's life and the time we shared. Big Baby is no longer in pain and is resting in the arms of Our Lord and Savior.

He was educated in the Davie County public school system, Davie County, North Carolina. Prior to declining health, Diante was an entrepreneur, investing his time and talents in various industries. He is a former member of Refuge Community Church, Cooleemee, North Carolina.

In his leisure, he enjoyed doing things with his nieces, nephews and godchildren, playing basketball and football, cooking for others that allowed him time to create loving and lasting moments with family and friends, a true gamer, and he loved listening to gospel music. Diante was never too busy to lend a hand if he could help someone.
