Missing you bud. I still talk to you every day and hear your ridiculous laugh, and I smile just the same as always. You are forever in my heart and I love you more than words can say. Rest in peace until I join you up there, cause you know no ones going to have a moment of peace once we're together again.

Dee, I know the sorrow you feel now seems unbearable but Dylan had a very good heart and is in a much better place.

Dylan I can't believe this happened to you it hurts so much right now still to know your gone. I had never lost a friend before this. You were the first and you probably won't be the last in my life but it's a tragedy you had to be the one to go... and so quickly as well. You were one of a kind and nobody will EVER come close to replacing you. Even though I hadn't known you my whole life and only knew you a short time I really grew to love you buddy. I'll never forget you and I'll remember you for the rest of my life and be thinking of you from time to time through laughter and tears. I just only wish I had met you sooner before you had to go or at least had more time with you and a proper goodbye. You were certainly amazing. I had the time of my life every time I was with you I always looked forward to seeing you. Dylan you taught me something that I'll always remember and never forget but... I'll keep that between us haha. I love you Dyl rest peacefully buddy I'll miss you loads <3

Dearest Family,
Dylan has been dear to my heart since I first met him when he was four years old and coming to see his brother David at school. Throughout his years at Haycock Dylan always had a smile on his face, despite some of his struggles and hard times. Even though he left Haycock a while back, he has always been on my thoughts and prayers. Dearest Dee, you've been a wonderful, loving mother and my prayers are with you. David, you've been there for him all these years, may you find strength from Dylan now. Much Love, Jeanette Aydlette

I remember Dylan as a kind and gentle soul, first as a student at Haycock and then as one of Ruby's high school friends who came to our house from time to time. He was respectful and didn't have a mean bone in his body. I've been sad ever since I got the news this morning.
I have no doubt that he's in a better place but I hope God will grant solace to his family and loved ones as we cope with the loss of one who left us much too soon.
Peace,

Dylan,
It's hard to say goodby.... It's hurts so much to know.... We'll never see your face again.... We'll never give you hugs....We'll never hear your laugh....But we have to live without you....Go on with every day....And keep your memory alive with us. Words cannot express what you are feeling, so very sorry....Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. Luv you guys Uncle Phil & Aunt Kathy

My prayers are with all of you. Dylan was my favorite of the crew that hung out on Haycock Road and they all knew it and teased him endlessly. But as they teased him, he just gave that same little smile that he has in the picture that you posted in the guest book. Our Dylan, we miss you. Dee my heart is breaking also. Big and little David, please take care of each other and take care of Dee.
Love, KK
