He enjoyed making people laugh with his dry sense of humor; producing and performing in humorous short films and videos, enjoyed traveling, and most of all, he loved his family and spending time with people, in person and on video games. His intelligence in technology made him the dependable “help desk” to his family members and friends along with many others around the globe as an employee at Storj. He will be greatly missed by all. A Memorial service will be held 1 p.m. Thursday at Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf Funeral Home,4031 Clyde Park SW, Wyoming.

Dylan has always and will always be one of my favorite people. I remember following him around at family events and trying to sit near him just to hear his jokes. He made life a fun adventure. I attribute my love for theater to him and our incredible feature films, if I do say so myself. I’m grateful for every memory. Dylan, you will always occupy a great spot in my heart and soul.

— Cassiel Fawcett

My dear, sweet, funny nephew, you've been taken from us too soon. My heart breaks when I think of family gatherings without you! Kadin's partner in crime, a comedy team reminiscent of Grandpa and Uncle Johnny. Mosby and his Dad. Blues Brothers forever. You will be greatly missed dear nephew but I know you will find a way to make us laugh from above. I'm sure your grand parents and cousins are enjoying your humorous company! Goodbye sweet Dylan. I will never forget you! You will live forever in my heart! I love you!
