Dylan R. Newell

Dylan Ryan Newell was called to his heavenly home on Thursday, March 5, 2026. He was the beloved son of James D. and Megan M. (Marnik) Newell Jr.; the loving brother of Devin J. Newell and Delanie R. Newell; the cherished grandson of Kathleen (Donohue) Whitebird and the late Walter F. Marnik, Carol M. (Geyer) Newell, and James D. Newell Sr.; and will be lovingly missed by his extended family. Dylan's personality filled every room he entered. His quick wit, playful spirit, and big heart made him someone people naturally gravitated toward. Whether he was joking around, helping a friend, or simply being himself, Dylan left a lasting impression on those around him. He brought joy and laughter into the lives of everyone who knew him. Bright, incredibly funny, and wonderfully goofy, Dylan had a natural ability to make people smile. He was a deeply creative soul who found joy in expressing himself through art and music. He loved painting, especially working with watercolors, and had a special appreciation for music. Whether he was listening, creating his own beats, or enjoying his extensive collection of vinyl records, music was an important part of who he was. Though his time with us was far too short, the love he gave and the joy he created will live on in the hearts of his family and friends forever. He will be deeply missed and always remembered. The family will receive friends from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m., Friday, March 13, 2026, at WEDDELL-AJAK FUNERAL HOME, 100 Center Ave., Aspinwall. A funeral Mass will be held at 10 a.m., Saturday, March 14, 2026, at Christ the King Parish, St. Scholastica Church, 309 Brilliant Ave., Aspinwall. Following the Mass, you are welcome to attend the burial at St. Mary Catholic Cemetery in Lawrenceville, located at Penn Ave. & 45th St., Pittsburgh, PA 15201. In lieu of flowers, contributions to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention would be greatly appreciated by the family. https://supporting.afsp.org/campaigns/Dylan-Newell-Memorial-Fund
