When you first got sick, no one wanted to believe it. Not, Dylan!
But you were always so strong and positive, showing us the way so many times.I love you for that. We loved seeing you everyday, especially that bright,big smile, always melting someone's heart. There never was a more fantastic nephew, I was the luckiest aunt with you in my life.
I thank God for all the time, no matter how short, we had together. Especially all your love,we'll share forever. Our lives were so full and bright with your presence. Our hearts our numb, and aches with your absence. I'll remember forever, the laughter, jokes and fun we shared. You are always in my thoughts, no matter where I go. I will always remember your smile and positive outlook, but above all your extraordinary kindness you always showed. You taught me so much in your short 16 years. Love You.

To the Brown Family,
I did not know Dylan well,personally, but I am a friend of his aunt Robin's so I feel as I knew him. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. Tracie, I admire you so much, as a mother of a 14 year old son, you were such an incredible rock for Dylan. Dylan and God both know, your strength and love were immeasurable. I found this short poem and thought of all of you:
" What Cancer cannot do...It cannot invade the soul, suppress memories, kill friendships,destroy peace,conquer the spirit,shatter hope,cripple love,corrode faith,steal eternal life,silence courage. "
When I read these words I think of Dylan,Tracie, Alyssa, his dad and Aunt Robin & Uncle Jack.
You are always in my prayers because each one of you gave Dylan so much Life, while he was with all of you. And I know Dylan is SMILING down at all of you!

On July 14th, our MOPS Steering Group received a phone call from Dylan's dad requesting prayer for Dylan. Your request was heard, and we know the Father was with him that night, as always. As mothers ourselves, we wanted to express our sorrow and encouragement to you during this difficult time. Nothing we can say will change your loss, but we will continue to pray that God would comfort you during this time.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Words cannot express the saddness that I feel for you. I am sorry that I could not be there for you. The Lord will carry you through this tough time.

Dear Tracie,
I'm sorry to hear of Dylan's passing.
He was a wonderful young man with such an optimistic attitude and loads of enthusiasm. I met him 2 years ago at RBPT and will never forget him. He never complained of his illness and pain. Whenever he entered the gym, everyone's spirit was lifted. I most recently was at
RBPT for a knee replacement and on some bad days, felt sorry for myself because of the amount of pain I had.
Then came Dylan strolling in and I felt much better just to have known such a courageous young man that it would snap me back to reality. He had such a prescence for someone so young. I will never forget how great you were with him and I will never forget Dylan.

Although i didn't know dylan personally i still knew who he was. he was known throughout the community. Dylan fought very hard to keep himself happy and others. Dylan was and still is an inspiration to me and many people. He's the reason i keep my head up high, always try to make others happy, and try my hardest.

My prayers are with the brown family.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Please accept our deepest Sympathy

Dear Tracie, Bob and Alyssa,
I am so sorry for your loss of sweet, wonderful Dylan. He put up an unbelievably courageous fight but finally decided it was time to go. I wanted to make chocolate chip cookies for him one more time but it was not to be. I know he will be sorely missed but you will all be together one day. He is with you now in spirit and, I know, he will help to guide you through the rest of your lives. All our love, Sherrie & Ken

Dear Brown Family,
As a teacher at Exeter, I never had Dylan in any of my classes, however, Dylans smile going to class and his hello when ever we met will be missed. This spring after the parade welcoming him home, we all knew that time was short for Dylan. That didn't stop Dylan and his friends. They all put in lots of effort and collected approximately $5000 for the Childrens Tumor foundation. Dylan was there as the students walked around the field to raise money. He knew that his time was limited but encouraged his friends to keep going and to keep up the effort. I hope the school will do a fund raiser every year in Dylan's memory.

Valerie Dalton

Dylan and I may not have been best friends but he impacted my life like one. He was that kid that could put anyone in the best mood by a few words. He was so easy to talk to with the most contagious smile. At the viewing, it was easy to see that he is loved by hundreds. I know that during the school year and even many years from now, many of us will be thinking back to him fondly and smiling at the thought of him.
My deepest wishes to his family.

Dear Tracie, Bob, and Alyssa,

May you see God in the faces of friends, hear Him in their voices, and feel Him in the touch of their hands. God bless you all at this difficult time. Dylan was so special to me and to so many many others. I will cherish the memories. He was such a positive influence on everyone. He never complained and and always wanted to do his best. His impact on our school, teachers, students and the community will be long lasting. We may never know how many lives and hearts he has touched. He was a giver and always put others before himself. He truly is a super hero!

I love you Dylan! Love, Prayers and Smiles.

My son was and always will be a "teammate" of Dylans'. Personally, my time around Dylan was limited to when he attended the Exeter Cardinals baseball games. As I watched the baseball games unfold, you could always sense a greater inspiration when Dylan was around. The team drew from him, and he gave back to them. I believe that each and every player and coach on the Exeter Cardinals team is a better person because of knowing Dylan. As a family, take comfort and pride in knowing that Dylan made a difference in many peoples lives. And when you think about it, that is what an inspiration is all about. God bless you and your family and know Dylan will always be in our hearts.

I am so sorry to hear about Dylan. I work with Robin and had the opportunity to meet Dylan, what an impression he left. I feel like I actually knew Dylan more personally since I am so close with Robin she would fill me in on his progress. I truly believe that God has a plan, and could only complete his plan with Dylan's help. I know that Dylan is back to himself again, no more pain. He is your angel and will always watch over you. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

As you and your sister Alyssa called us " your Gramcracker and Pop Pop" will always miss you. We will always pray for you and always remember the love we shared. You are one of God's angels in heaven now and your pain has gone away.

Dear Tracie, Bob and Alyssa:

Words truly cannot describe how much Dylan means to me. It gives me great pleasure, however, to have a part in the celebration of his life. His strength, courage, and willingness to fight continues and will most certainly live forever.

Dylan truly redefines the word HERO. He is the strongest person that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, and his infectious smile and sense of humor could make you laugh for hours. He was such an inspiration to everyone around him.

Dylan never once complained about a single thing in regards to his condition. He always made you laugh, whether he was talking to you about his favorite movie "Billy Madison", some hot nurses, or ragging on the umpires while D.C. or Feeney were pitching.

I am so proud to say that Dylan accepted the role of captain of our Exeter Cardinals Baseball Club. In two seasons he might have only missed one or two games, which is very impressive since we play just about every single day during the summer months.

Dylan, please know that my life has forever been changed for the better as a result of knowing you. You have taught me what life is really all about. I will miss you and I know that you are looking down upon us smiling.

I love you and will always remember the fun times we had together.

God Bless.

God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and “whispered come to me”. With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away, although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest, god broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best.

MR.& MRS. BROWN, ALYSSA, AND FAMILY:
KNOWING DYLAN WAS MORE THAN A PRIVELAGE-IT WAS AN HONOR. EVERY DAY I WOULD SEE HIS SWEET SMILING FACE IN THE HALLS OF EXETER HIGH SCHOOL AND IT WOULD WARM MY HEART. EVERY DAY DYLAN AND I WOULD LAUGH AND JOKE UNITL THE BELL RUNG. TO SEE HIM AT BASEBALL GAMES AND KNOW HE LOVED BEING THERE WAS ANOTHER GREAT TREASURE OF MINE. EVERY BASEBALL GAME HE WAS AT THE ATMOSPHERE WAS DIFFERENT- AND SO WERE THE PLAYERS. BEING AROUND DYLAN BROUGHT PEOPLE JOY BECAUSE HE WAS SUCH A SPECTACULAR PERSON. DYLAN WAS THE LEAST SELFISH PERSON I HAVE EVER KNOWN BECAUSE HE ALWAYS PUT OTHERS FIRST WITH EVERYTHING HE EVER SAID OR DID. EVERY TIME I HEARD HIS LAUGHTER OR SAW HIS BRIGHT-AS-EVER- SMILE, IT WAS DUE TO HIM COMPLEMENTING SOMEONE OR MAKING SOMEONE LAUGH. HE HAS SO MANY FRIENDS WHO LOVE HIM AND MISS HIM DEARLY-MYSELF INCLUDED. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOURS FOREVER.

PS: R.I.P DYLAN- I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU, MY FRIEND.

Dear Brown Family,
I am deeply saddened by the loss of a man who was such a staple to the Exeter community. He had an aura about him that could make anyone stop and smile when he came down the hall. I always made an effort to say "hello" to Dylan whenever and wherever i saw him. It has been such a joy to have my high school years impacted by a man who could turn the worst situation into something so good that no one would have thought about. His smile was one of the best I have seen from anyone and had the power to make you think about what you value in life. It's not about what you have, or how popular you are because in real life it doesn't matter. Knowing a man like Dylan; so humble, honest, and true..that is what life is about. We all love you Dylan and you will not be missed. Guaranteed.

Michon Koenig

We our so sorry to hear of your loss. Our heart goes out to your family. We had met Dylan at his Aunt Janice's pool. Our boys had a lot of fun playing at the pool. He was a great kid. I know he will be greatly missed. We will say prayer for the Brown family.

I knew of Dylan for many years but i had the great chance of meeting him last year when i played for the City County Cardinals, where he was asked to join the team. His smile always made our days. He was a great kid and will always be rememberd. I know he was also on the team this year and i know they we're undefeated throughout the whole season and now for Dylan i hope they win the County championship with Dylan always in their prayers ,becuase he will always be in mine.

I didn't know Dylan until my brother Stephen became an Exeter Cardinal last year. I got to know Dylan over time, at the various games and team parties and things. He was such a great kid, always laughing and having fun! My best memory of Dylan was when we were all playing tag on the Pineland Park playground. He was right in the middle of everybody, playing along. Everyone would find it so funny when he would trip us with his cane. He's one of the happiest people I've ever known! RIP Dylan Brown <3333333333 We love you!!

Dear Brown Family,
I'm so sorry to hear that Dylan's fight with cancer has come to an end, my thoughts are with you and your extended family. Dylan was an amazing person and student, he also had undeniable talent in art class. The other students would ask him how he drew so well and he would just smile and shrug in the most modest manner. His modesty was only one of so many great things about his personality. I will truly miss seeing his wonderful smile in the halls at Exeter.
Rest in Peace Dylan.

Kyle Schaeffer

July 16, 2008

I met Dylan at the age of five and from that day forward we were friends. He was always a fun person to be around. He always had something nice to say, a complement to cheer someone up, or a joke that made everyone laugh. He was a fighter, never complained about anything, and always had a positive outlook on life. I'm going to miss him terribly, but I know he's in a better place now.

Barbara Burke

I would like to say that I am so sorry for the loss that the Brown Family has had. I did not know Dylan that well but from seeing him in classes and talking to him the little bit that I got to, I realized that he always had a smile on his face no matter how bad everything got and he always had a good outlook on everything. He was a great person and will never be forgotten.

Dear Brown Family

I can not express to you the grief and heartache I feel for all of you at this time. I knew Dylan for a brief time, but his smile, laugh, and love of everything around him touched me greatly. He will certainly live on in many fond memories and his gift of courage and compassion that he shared with everyone he met will never be forgotten. I'll always think of Dylan as my "Hollister Boy"! May you all find comfort in the many wonderful memories of his miraculous life.

Donna Lorah

Dear Tracie and family,

First allow me to express our deepest sympathy to you and your family, for there is no greater loss than what you've experienced. Tracie, I've known you for many years, through work, Exeter school events etc. It's plain to see where Dylan got his positive outlook, lust for life, strength, and the power to bring the best out of others...It's from you. Despite the challenges Dylan had endured, all through his life, he always managed to come out smiling! He has taught a lot of kids the "key values" of being good, happy people, whatever the case may be. Your son has affected so many children, adults as well, in such a positive manner, and will continue to do so, for his presence and memories will live on forever! If you need anything at all please don't hesitate, I'm in the book. Respectfully yours, The Lorahs'.

Bob, Tracie and Alyssa:

I met Dylan when my son, Stephen, became a Cardinal last year. I was quickly impressed with his courage and zest for life, but what impressed me most was how the team embraced him. I did not truly understand until this year when I became one of the coaches and got to know Dylan better. It is easy to see why he was an inspiration to everyone he met. In a world where selfishness and entitlements run rampant, Dylan was a breath of fresh air. In every sense of the word, Dylan was, and will always be, a hero. We are blessed for the time we got to spend with him. God bless.

To the entire Brown family,

Ever since I heard the sad news I keep thinking about the beautiful smile Dylan had on his face during the parade in his honor. What an appreciative, grateful and courageous young man. He made such a positive impact on so many lives, mine included. It was the hope of the entire Exeter Township SHS community that Dylan would win the battle. May you find comfort in knowing that so many people deeply care about you and that Dylan's legacy of being a true hero will live on in our hearts.

Chelsea Lorah

I have known Dylan since the first day of Kindergarten and have never met someone with so much optimism. I am so glad that I had a friend that has shown me the real meaning of life, friendship, and to always look for the bright side of everything negative. Real Life isn't about what iPod is coming out, or who is wearing the same outfit as you, or what your hair will look like in your Driver's License picture. Life is about who you share it with and what you make of it. Dylan has shown me to always look for the rainbow during the downpour. Seeing someone who faught as hard as he did, all the while staying so positive, made me realize how silly everybody is for sweating the 'small stuff.' Someone once told me to live each day as if it were my last, and witnessing Dylan's fight just makes that quote more and more true. Dylan will never go unloved or be forgotten. My family and I send our deepest regrets and sympathies to the Brown family.

Dear Brown family,

I would like to express to you my deepest sympathy. My daughter, age 9, died 7 years ago from meningitis. My heart aches for you. I hope you believe and can eventually find comfort that your son is no longer in pain, but, in God's loving and eternal care. You will be in our prayers for a long time.

Sincerely

I never got to meet Dylan, but as a resident of Exeter, an Exeter graduate, a volunteer at CHOP, and a lacrosse fan, reading this touched me. Dylan sounded like a good kid. He is now truly in place better then we know.

Rest in Peace

Dylan was always a good friend and he put up the good fight. He loved lacrosse and baseball and even though he could not play he was always at all of the games. He will be missed R.I.P. Dylan Brown.

Dylan is my nephew and my children Andrew and Dustin's cousin. Our family is very large but the void we will share in our hearts is greater than anyone could ever imagine. Dylan will always be remembered as a boy with a heart of gold, a smile and a voice that you could never forget. He always told my boys he was their big brother, this big brother has made a huge impact on their lives that is everlasting. Dylan has taught my children strength, love, compassion, and caring which are truly the lessons in life we all need to live by. God Bless You, Love Aunt Janice, Andrew and Dustin
