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.

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!

Dylan I remember eating Mission burritos, curry in Osaka, BBQ in SLC, throwing together crazy YouTube episodes and riding the SF ferry. You did and saw so many things, and always in your own style. Your kindness, generosity and easygoing good humor were always in abundance. I will miss you and am grateful for the time our paths did cross.
