To the families of Dylan, I am so sorry for your loss. When I would walk into stop & shop in Westfield with my 4 year old son (who has asd) Dylan would be in produce most times and would interact with my son for a couple minutes always making him laugh and smile. I will miss those interactions. RIP Dylan.

To Dylan's family and friends, I interacted with Dylan as a customer, numerous times per week, in the Produce Department of the Westfield Stop & Shop. He always greeted me with a smile, and hello. I will miss the short conversations I had with such a bright, personable young man. He will be missed. May the pain and loss you are feeling diminish quickly, leaving you only with the pleasant memories of your time together.
