Happiness is watching Dylan grow up to the man that he was. He will be deeply missed by anti-Marie and uncle Gary.He came to San Diego one summer for two weeks we went surfing paddling out, and getting caught in a rip current and uncle Gary was trying to get him back to shore, all he could say I was ok and at the same time having that holy crap look on his face.We will miss you 😢 little man.Our hearts go out to Francys and the family.

On behalf of Republic Services, our condolences to the family. Dylan proved to be a great employee and was celebrating his one year anniversary with the company on August 8. It’s a tragedy to lose great people in this life, and Dylan is no exception.  He will forever be remembered as part of the Republic family. May God bless him and his family.

Sorry I didn't get to chance to know you better, but you had a big impact on Sawyer and Sierra. I will always remember the cool kid with the smile no one could forget, you will never be forgotten.

I didn't realize what an impact you had on my kids until they shared photos & memories after you were gone, heartbreaking. You were always a special kid with a smile that could light up a room, it was a pleasure babysitting you & your brothers, you were one of my kids after that. Thanks for the memory of "breaking in" our red quad when you & Sky came up to ride with Sierra & Sawyer. So glad I got to see you before we moved & bake you snickerdoodles one more time. I'm praying for your family & those grieving your loss, you are loved & missed. Until we meet again Dylan. 

Dylan was one of those guys who could bring light to any room. Having the opportunity to work with him and get to know him as a person is an honor. Ive known him sense I was younger but didnt establish a real bond till we became work buddys. All the silly and dumb things he would do at work just to make sure everyone else was having a good day. He will be missed by me and everyone here at Republic Services.

I remember you going to VBS with us one summer that my mom was helping with it, back when we lived in Roosevelt, and you got the highest score on a flamingo ring toss game. Sounds silly now but as a kid it was awesome! Everybody thought you were so cool and cheered when you were honorably mentioned for winning the game. 

Oh Dylan, my sweet son.  Oh how I love and miss you greatly!  I am so grateful that I was an important part of your life as well, I’m glad that I helped your father raise you.  You are such an inspiration son; you’re an amazing son, brother, cousin, nephew, grandson, brother, father, husband, friend, etc.  Always know that I am so very proud of you!  I will continue to write to you, talk to you, and remember all of the wonderful times we had, all of the unforgettable memories that our family had shared together throughout the years.  I love and miss you greatly son, my hero, along with many out there now who may have a special part of you…. Your legacy is your precious babies, my grandbabies, they will always know what a remarkable father that you are.  I know that you will watch over your precious little family, your immediate family, your extended family and your friends.  

Love you always son,

Mama Wendy
