Office of Dirk Deaton
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – State Rep. Dirk Deaton worked with his legislative colleagues in the recently-ended session to ensure the legacy of fallen hero Chris Marion is honored and preserved. Deaton sponsored HB 544 that was later incorporated into SB 258 to create the Army PFC Christopher Lee Marion Memorial Highway. SB 258 was approved by the General Assembly and was signed by Governor Mike Parson on July 6, 2021, in Jefferson City.
“Chris Marion made the ultimate sacrifice and it was my honor to work with my legislative colleagues to name the highway that stretches from his hometown of Pineville to the high school in Anderson that he graduated from in his honor,” said Deaton, R-Noel. This is a proper and appropriate tribute for Chris Marion and his family.
