Dylan Lubin, age 25, passed away on July 21, 2025, in Kankakee, Illinois.

Born on January 21, 2000, in Chicago, Illinois, Dylan brought happiness and light to everyone who knew him.

Dylan loved life, laughter, and yummy treats. He found happiness in the simplest everyday moments and had a remarkable ability to share that joy with everyone around him. Though nonverbal, Dylan communicated with a depth of love, wisdom, and kindness that touched the hearts of his family, friends, and caretakers. He inspired those who knew him to live more fully and love more deeply.

Dylan loved music, spending time with his family and friends, swimming, and outdoor adventures. Whether it was listening to his favorite songs or enjoying time in nature, Dylan taught those around him to appreciate the present moment.

Dylan was a quiet teacher, inspiring all who were blessed to be in his presence to live in the moment, be kind, patient, and understanding. His bright spirit touched many lives, and he will be deeply missed. His legacy lives on in the lessons he taught us-about compassion, joy, and unconditional love.

Dylan is lovingly remembered by his sister, Tess Lubin; his parents, Tara Kearney Lubin and Peter Lubin; his grandmothers, Mary Louise Kearney and Amy Lubin; as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends who loved and cared for him deeply. He is now reunited with his grandfathers, William V. Kearney Jr. and Donald G. Lubin, and his Godfather Andrew L. Schwartz, who welcome him with love.

Dylan's celebration of Life / Memorial service reception will be held at:

Unity of the North Shore - 3434 Central Street, Evanston IL

2:15 pm on Saturday September 27th, 2025

All are welcome to attend.

In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to honor Dylan's memory by extending patience and kindness to those around you-and by sharing some yummy treats and a bit of your time with someone who may be alone or in need of cheer.

May Dylan's memory continue to bring comfort and light to all whose lives he touched.

One of Dylan´s favorite staff was Araya. He could sit and listen to her read stories all the time! Anyone who had the privilege of working with him is a better person because of his love and he will be dearly missed.

Dylan loved visiting the Exploration Place especially going inside the plane to see how the ducts worked. Another favorite trip was watching the donuts get made at Krispy Kreme and getting to enjoy one at the end! He was so good in the community. I remember how he would go shopping at Walmart with us and shocked everyone at Heartspring with his growth!

Tara, I´m so sorry for your loss! Dylan was always my favorite at Heartspring and will always have a special place in my heart. He loved to swing especially in the sensory room of G1. He was so full of love and brought joy to those around him. I will forever hear his voice echoing the walls of G1.

I had the privilege of working with Dylan from 2018-2020 roughly. I thought of him (and your family!) often over the years. I never forgot his smile and laugh, or the way he would give you a hug even after a rough day. He was a kiddo that touched my heart from the start. I´m thankful for the time I got to know him and I carry you all in my prayers.

Dylan was quite an ornery guy & so full of life. He loved to find string (or anything else really lol), look at pictures of his family & friends, listen to music with staff, or be outside swinging & playing in the water. His smile was the sweetest & often enlightened the whole group home. He was a big fan of laughing with his favorite people & gave the biggest hugs. We will share his stories amongst Heartspring forever as he touched many lives. Rest peacefully Dylan, we love you.

While Dylan´s time at Central School was over by the time I started there, I had the privilege of seeing these beautiful photos of your boy. Dylan was a special little guy who taught me how to be the special educator I am today. Thank you for sharing a little bit of his time with me. I will treasure those years always. My heart is with you.

I only taught Dylan for a short time in my classroom at Heartspring but oh, this kid had such a big personality! He had one of the best laughs. To this day, every time I hear "Why Should I Worry" from Oliver and Company, it´s always Dylan that comes to my mind. My prayers are with the family during this time of grieving.

I was lucky enough to work with Dylan. He was always such a character. He brought many smiles and laughters to everyone around him. My heart breaks seeing this but I know Dylan is enjoying the heavens and watching over his family and friends my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Tara, this was a photo you gave me in a frame after my year as Dylan´s 1:1 assistant at the JCB preschool. He was such a beautiful child and he loved his swings!

Dear Tara, Peter and Tess, with the broken hearts we received the news of death of our dear Dylan.
I remember Dylan coming with Tess to every single tennis lesson . He was such a handsome boy, full of life and lots of energy .He loved the hugs, and he was running non stop , during Tess´s tennis lesson . I wished Tess to have Dylan unstoppable energy .
Dylan had a very short life , and his life was a lot of suffering , not only for him, but for all around him.
Now Lord Jesus ended the pain of Dylan´s sufferance's and took him and blessed him with heavenly eternal life.
Our condolences to our very dear friends, Lubin family .
With eternal love
Vicky, Alex, Andrea , Denise and Nick Muresan
PS Please let us know were will be the place on September 21 where Dylan´s funeral will be
