Hello everyone, we are getting together a video in Dylan’s memory. Please feel free to share photos or videos. You can post on here or send it to me directly on Facebook. Thank you.

I was Dylan’s teacher for first and second grades at Eldridge School in Hayward, CA.

I remember him as being smart and curious, full of energy. He was very interested in discovering how things work - how do rockets go up into space, what happened to the dinosaurs, why is the sky blue? And although we didn’t cover many of those subjects in first and second grades, Dylan was fortunate to have a mom, Faye, who encouraged him to pursue his interests and worked with him on many projects and experiments during non-school hours.

Faye’s patience and devotion helped Dylan to keep his sense of wonder about the world, develop a great sense of humor, and learn enough in school to get by while learning a lot about things not usually taught there.

Dylan went on to graduate from high school, have a successful IT job, develop a lasting relationship with his junior high sweetheart and enjoy the life he built with that sweetheart, Eileen.

A couple of years ago, Dylan’s name appeared in my list of possible new friends on FaceBook. I decided to reach out, and after some warnings from him about what I might encounter on his FB page, we became friends. I truly enjoyed hearing about his life now, reading his thoughts about many topics, including current events, musicians he followed, movies, and such. I could see that he had developed into a thoughtful and insightful young man, and I was proud to have been a tiny part of that so many years ago.
