It is with a profound sense of hope that we celebrate the life and memory of Dylan Nathaniel Alan Parrott, who was born on August 8, 1998, in Leominster, Massachusetts. Dylan was a beacon of light in the lives of all who knew him, his spirit filled with an infectious joy that seemed to touch everyone around him. He lived his life with a unique blend of quiet contemplation and vibrant creativity, a testament to his love for nature, the beach, video games, and reading. His passion for life was not limited to these pursuits, as he was also a gifted poet, a talented artist, and an enthusiastic practitioner of mixed martial arts.

Dylan's life was marked by a deep sense of connection with his family, who he loved dearly. His mother, Sara Parrott, was a constant source of support and inspiration to him as was his Papa, Julius Parrott. He shared an extremely special, protective and loving bond with his sister, Annaliese Bach and cousin, who was like a sister, Felicity Parrott. His aunts and uncles, Kori Diabate, Kama Parrott, Wes Perry and great aunts and uncles, Enid and Jay Ricard, Arlene Dunham, and Teri Hutchinson who all held a special place in his heart. Dylan also loved and cherished his cousins Tyler Perry and his daughter Raelynn Perry, Julius (J.P.) Parrott, Maximus Parrott, Maya Fournier and Alex Hutchinson. He also loved and admired his Godfather, Jason Ricard. He also leaves behind his Nana, Lori Trexler, and so many more family and friends. Dylan's life was a gift that, though short-lived, left an indelible impact on those who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of his loved ones, who will remember him as a source of joy, hope, and inspiration. 

We invite all those who knew and loved Dylan to share their memories and photos of him on his memorial page. This is a space where we can honor his memory, celebrate his life, and find comfort in the shared experiences we had with him. In this way, we can ensure that Dylan's spirit continues to inspire us, comfort us, and remind us of the profound impact that one life can have on the world.
