DYLAN ASTACIO Obituary

It is with great sadness that the family of Dylan "D-Man" Astacio must announce his tragic passing in a car accident on May 16, 2023.

Dylan was born in Orlando, FL on April 17, 2003. He was a graduate of Oviedo High School, Class of 2021 and he was a current student at Seminole State College.

Dylan loved hunting and spending time at the hunt camp. As an avid sports enthusiast, Dylan enjoyed soccer, golf, fishing, and football. He loved working on his truck, playing video games and hanging out with his friends. He was a conversationalist who enjoyed learning from others and his selflessness was evident to everyone who met him.

Most of all, Dylan loved spending time with his large extended family.

He leaves behind his parents, Angel & Whitney, his sister Brooke, his grandmothers Ingrid Astacio & Karen McMillen, and numerous aunts, uncles & cousins that will all continue to cherish his memory. He is predeceased by his grandfathers, Charlie Astacio & Warren McMillen.

Dylan's family would like to thank the many family and friends who have provided an outpouring of love and support. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation to the charity of your choice.

We will miss and love you always our sweet, sweet boy.
