Very dear Dylan, I have loved you all of your life, even when you were growing in your Mama’s womb. I have always known & felt your kindness and love as you were growing up….. and I still do. Keep sharing your gentle loving spirit with us from above. We will be here to receive whatever strength you have to send. Know how much we love and miss you. Always, Janet
Darrin, I met Dylan when he came to St Matthews with you. I believe that you guys brought cookies for the luncheon. I am truly sorry for your loss and I will pray for your pain to be minimized quickly but the fond memories be with you always.
Nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, people’?they always go away, sooner or later. You can’t hold them, any more than you can hold moonlight. But if they’ve touched you, if they’re inside you, then they’re still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart.’?
‘? Bruce Coville, Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher
Dylan, you touched so many lives and will be loved eternally.
Dylan, I hate you had to leave us so early. You were with me the day my mother tragically passed and I’ll always remember that. We may question God’s will, but there is a reason for this your family or I cannot begin to comprehend. Say hey to my mom and Prince up there for me. Love you man and my prayers go to your family
Sweet, sweet Dylan! You will be forever missed and remembered by those left behind in this life; while you have eternal grace and peace. Thank you for enriching and touching our lives during the last 24 years and for always being kind to me, while showing your gentle sense of humor, whenever our paths crossed.
I love you Dylan!! I’ll never forget our dance parties, nature walks, and just laughing acting so so silly! Miss you so much already man.
I’m so sorry for your loss.Dylan was such a humble young man.He was so precious to me,I loved talking to him either at the house,or cutting his hair.Grant and I will be praying for you.Susan Gousby
Mary Neil and Darrin,
I am so sorry. I love you all very much.
It’s funny that reconnecting with you was like a liberating experience, because you were the only friend in the world that brought me nostalgia. We met when we were 13 years old and right off the bat we were trying to take over the world together. My favorite memories of us was our time at the Bird Sanctuary, almost everyday after school. Man, we grew up real fast together. I know that you are still going to watch my back from wherever you are, because you always have. It’s hard for me that I hadn’t seen you in over 2 years, and now I’m having to say a real goodbye. I’m going to be there for your mom, I promise. I love her just as she were my mother. Rest easy man and know you will be remembered.
We are saddened beyond words. So sorry for your loss…and let us share in the joy of knowing Dylan.
May his memory be eternal. Sending much love and prayers to the family in this difficult time. Please excuse my absence from the service. I am still recovering from a bout with the flu. But know you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Memory eternal. Michael will always be in my feeble prayers.
With the Saints give rest, O Lord to the soul of Thy servant, Dylan Michael, where there is no more sorrow or suffering , neither signing but LIFE EVERLASTING!
MEMORY ETERNAL!
