Hey Dylan, I don't know if you remember me but my name's Evan. I had a twin brother named Alex. Your aunt lived in my neighborhood when we were kids and we were in the same preschool class. You moved to Tennessee and we lost touch for years. We used to hang out and you taught me how to skateboard. Your aunt had a pool, and i remember going up there with Alex Austin and Travis all the time. Remember them? They were the other two twins on our street haha. I'm 18 years old now and I just graduated highschool, and I was just thinking about my friends when I was a kid so I looked you up on Facebook and I don't really know what to say, you taught me how to have fun dude. You taught me how to stand up for myself and rebel against people and idk man I just know we would have been good friends. I hope youre doing good up there homie.

I'm deeply sorry to read of the loss of your son Dylan. Psalms 51:17 reads Heart broken and crushed, O God, you will not despise. Rely on the God of comfort, and he will give you the strength to endure.

I haven't seen Dylan in many years but always remember his excitement and that snow white hair. He was the cutest thing ever. I went back and looked at some photos of when he was small. I loved the time I had with him and the Marshall, Collett and Earley families. Some of the best times of my life. My heart is broken with yours. While words can't express what I feel right now I want you to know that I'm praying for you all. I haven't been able to get you out of my mind. I will never forget Dylan. All my love to you guys!!

I met Dylan and Dakota in 2003. Almost from the time we met until around 2008 when they moved we were best friends. Dylan and Dakota both were so much fun to be around. I remember how we used to swim in their aunts pool, were Dylan and Dakota had to teach me how to swim, and how we used to make up flips and dives into the water and judge which one was better. I also remember that Dylan taught me how to skateboard.
I loved Dylan and send all my love to his family. I love and miss them too.
My thoughts and heart is with the family. I can't even imagine what their going through right now. Stay strong guys.

You are an angel who spreads his wings to fly. Up above in that big blue sky. Heaven is your home and I know we'll never be alone. With your beautiful spirit within us.

Love you, Dylan.You were and always will be my goofy friend who didn't care what others thought of him. Who always laughed and had the most perfect smile I've ever seen. You changed my life in so many positive ways and I pray every night that God watches over you and your family. Rest in Paradise Dylan..it was a great freshman year and it was great to see you at work even though you were bored out of your mind. :P <3333 All my love goes out to the Marshall family.

Dylan was in my class when he was in the 4th grade. He is a student that I will forever carry in my heart just like many of the other lives he has touched. His smile could light up a room and even though I haven't had the chance to see him since he moved, I can still see his smile clearly. He leaves an impression. James, Christina, and Dakota, I am so sorry for your loss and I'm thinking of you.
