I can't believe been three years since Dylan's passing. Even though life has taken me for a wild ride, I still occasionally remember Dylan and how truly amazing he was. I wasn't super close with him, but I knew how caring, funny, and kind he was. I offer my sincere condolences to the Meachams and everyone who is affected by Dylan's death on his remembrance day. I pray to God that He gives you peace and helps you through this difficult time.

Dylan was and has been a great & awesome friend to me. He was kind, caring, and a loving friend to those he met (including me), and a good brother and son to his family. I met him on the first day when I came to LPS 2 years ago, which was also the day I met Sam his brother (who was shadowing me), when I was still in the 7th grade. But when I heard the news about his passing in 2020 last year, I was sad. I so miss Dylan, even now. If only I had a chance just to see him one last time, and say goodbye to him! We miss you, Dylan! God bless! To his family, my condolences. :)

I still think of him every day. I didn't know much about him, but I definitely knew he was hilarious. He would always come into theatre and I would always stop and tease him. When the news came that he passed, I was so angry and upset I didn't know what to do. I felt like I lost so much right then. My heart broke even more when I thought of my friends. This one particular friend was really close and I didn't want to tell her the news, but I knew she was going to find out, and that hurt a lot. I can only imagine the great things he would have done. I just wish he as here to do them. He was an amazing person and so nice. I just hope he looks down everyday at us from heaven so he can see we miss him and we hope to see him again when our time comes.

I didn't really know Dylan that much. I just saw him around the school, but from what I knew of him, he was super funny, a talented actor, and always ready to make someone's day.

We used to tease each other but the last day I saw him he was so sweet when I felt like I had no one there for me.

When I think about words that describe Dylan to his core I think- brave, confident, compassionate, and just joyful and he loved God. Dylan would always come to school seconds before the bell rang, spill his coffee all over everything, and then sit down and tell us what happened to him the previous day because of something funny he said or heard or something crazy that had happened to him. It always happened to have been that he had thrown himself headfirst into a conversation or argument and won. I genuinely miss every single morning with him, but I can’t help but smile every time it crosses my mind. It’s something that I’ll never forget and an example of his confidence in all situations. I really looked up to him for for that and I can’t help but wish that I had just a sliver of his confidence.
Another of Dylan's qualities that I admire is that he was not afraid to speak his mind. Dylan was the only one who would speak up and stand with me when we knew we had to say something when someone was being mistreated or was being misrepresented or bullied for their beliefs. I always knew he had my back and he knew I would have his. I’m thankful that I got to stand up for good with him on several occasions.
Dylan cared so much about everyone and would do almost anything for anyone, no matter if they had argued with him, had different beliefs than him, or just didn’t like him, he wouldn’t hesitate to help them.
I remember in 7th grade, I sat next to Dylan in ELA, I didn’t really know him at the time and rarely, if ever, talked to him. But I looked at his computer and saw that he had the exact same computer background as me, it was a simple Navy Seal logo with a navy blue background, and underneath it, it read: “The only easy day was yesterday”. I showed Dylan my background and we clicked. Every day after that we exchanged new information that we learned about Navy Seals, and what we were going to do as Navy Seals together, and how we were going to be the best Navy Seals that the world would ever see. I hope to one day be able to carry his love for the SEALs program with me as I train.
Dylan played a huge impact on everyone's lives, may have played a hand in politics being banned in most of our classes, and essentially changed some of the ways our classes were run but he did it with love, compassion, and humor and everyone knew where his heart was and how much he watched out for everyone around him. He is greatly missed daily but the person he was and still is is very much alive in everyone who got to know and love him. We love you Dylan.

I don't know how to begin...
I met Dylan last year when we did the Annie Jr. theatre play together. He came into my life quite suddenly, and we connected at a rehearsal one day. We ended up standing together in the hall and he was messing with me... tapping me on the head then acting surprised when I turned around. He did this several times, to which I responded, "You know... you're not subtle." He laughed... a happy, contagious, silly laugh that seemed to just fill the room with joy. And that's where our friendship began. For the next few months, we would pass each other on the hallways, occasionally stopping to playfully tap the other on the head then run into the classroom before the other could realize. We were good friends, and he constantly put a smile on my face with his goofiness, laughter, and affection.
Soon, the school closed due to COVID-19, and we lost contact.
Then, a couple of months later, he contacted me again, and it was as if we just continued our friendship where we left off, despite the months that we hadn't spoken. We became close. Very close. We shared everything, we talked every day, and we were each other's confidants. Talking to him was the highlight of my day. It seemed that he made every day brighter. Life was more fun, I laughed more often, nothing seemed as bad anymore. We would joke around, play games, talk about school, friends, life, everything. We somehow touched on every subject possible, and talking to him was effortless. He had such a fun, kind, caring personality, and he was always going out of his way to make those around him happy. We were close friends, true friends.
And just as suddenly as he came into my life, he was gone. On Sunday, February 7th, I opened my school inbox to find an email that made my heart stop. I found out he had passed away the day before, and I didn't know how to react.
Now suddenly, it's been three weeks, and not a day has gone by in which I have not thought about him. I feel empty and lost. Nothing seems happy anymore, nothing is the same. Every day feels like torture without his jokes, his laugh, or his constant smirk. It's cruel that, sometimes, those we care for the most are taken away from us. He truly was a blessing, but sadly, all angels must eventually return to God. He's gone to his final resting place, leaving behind only the memory of a 14-year-old boy that brightened up the entire world. I can only hope that wherever he is, he's happy. Rest in peace, Dylan. You will be missed.

I might have not known him for too long but I warmed up to him pretty quick, he was one of the nicest people I have ever met, knowing that he's gone feels like I lost a piece of myself, I feel like I'm not whole without him. He was always so happy and loved making others happy too, but it was his time to rest. It hurts to know he's gone but he's in a better place.

When I think of Dylan, I always picture him smiling from ear to ear. One memory that brings a smile to my face is watching the middle school band concert. My eyes kept going back to Dylan smiling as big as he could while chomping on the biggest ball of bubblegum ever. It made me giggle!!

Dylan came into my life in a whirlwind. He auditioned for Annie in 2019 and I knew he was going to be a star. I gave him three roles and he nailed them all.
He auditioned for our play a couple of weeks ago. He didn’t have a monologue, so he recited the pledge of allegiance with such passion and feeling. My fellow judge, Tori Sdao, and I knew immediately what role he would be perfect for.
I miss his smile. I miss him coming into my classroom every morning before school with good morning wishes and silly morning stories. Oh Dylan! I love you kiddo. I know you’re up there entertaining everyone and charming the angels with your personality and your smile.
Dear Meacham family - you’re in my prayers and my heart.
