You have been my best friend for 20 years and words cannot express how much I’m going to miss you. You were a part of our family and I considered you my brother. Not by merit of blood, but something stronger, choice.
I have a lifetime of amazing memories with you. All of the roadtrips, hardships and conversations we shared will keep you alive in my heart. I want you to know that all of that time we spent together makes the pain of losing you worth it.
I know that I will carry this grief for the rest of my life. I do not see it as a burden, but a reminder of how much you meant to me. It only hurts so much because of how much you mattered.
I know I will never have another friend like you, and I don’t want one. You were the kind of person that comes by once in a lifetime. I will carry your memory with me everyday and celebrate you everytime you cross my mind. I will tell people about the kind and loving person you were, and how you made me a better man.
I love you, and I hope you know that you left the world a better place than you found it.
Marie and family, please accept my most sincere condolences on the passing of your much loved Dillion. I had the pleasure of meeting him as he and his Mom were passing through Halifax on their way to Newfoundland. He was very young at the time (early teens). Though our visit was short, he left me with the impression that he was a very caring individual.
Uncle Gabriel(Jim) Doucette
Hi, I don’t know any of your family, but I am struck by the beauty of this young man. Such a loss, I can only imagine. God Bless your family at this heartbreaking time. 🙏
Condolences to Dylans family and friends. I lost my older brother in 2020 to what I assume was a similar situation in Ontario. I do not understand it. I find it very hard to find closure so I really feel for Dylans family in this difficult time. Dylan was a pleasure to work with, he was kind, caring and a smart guy. I gave him a ride home from work and we saw the solar eclipse through a small break in the cloud cover. We had many great chats about things and life in general. This is totally unexpected and was a major shock to our workplace as he was valued, respected and a great guy. I hope he is at peace now and free from whatever he was struggling with. No parent should have to deal with their childrens passing. I feel so much for them and understand what the familes go through.
‘Till we meet again my friend, much love.
My Name is Larry Farrell and I met Dylan at Quidi Vidi brewery and found him to be a wonderful caring person. Please accept my deepest condolences at this time.
I won’t be able to accept this for a long while my friend! I remember the very moment you stepped foot into our workspace and I could just tell you were going to do great. From the conversations we’ve had about our work frustrations to the chats we’d have about rap music, you were always so engaged and genuine. It was truly a pleasure to get to spend every day with you! I will always cherish our heart to heart moments and I will never forget the charisma you shared with me as such a new friend. I haven’t known you long enough to know your struggle and I wish I could’ve pushed you just a little harder to talk with me instead of assuming you need some space. I will always wish that I could’ve done more for you Dylan. I hope wherever you are, you are at peace. And if you’re reading this… I love you dawg! I’ll continue to carry your torch and lead by the same example you did. Rest in peace brother.. from your buddy smoke ❤️
… for the family that may not know me, Dylan and I worked together everyday and he made my life a pure joy. Dylan would directly make my life much easier with the amount he helped me and he deserves every single bit of praise and respect for that. I haven’t been able to find closure and I know many of his coworkers feel the same way! From a life Dylan lived at the brewery that some of you may not know much about, he brought an absolute light into the building with him everyday and it’s going to be very hard to accept that is gone ! My deepest deepest condolences to the family of my friend. I will miss him , and I will miss him a lot.
Marie, Allan and family, please accept my deepest condolences. Having lost both my sisters and my Dad just recently I can understand the loss of a close family member. but to lose your son so young is something no one should have to go through. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I am deeply saddened to hear about Dylan’s passing. He was truly a beautiful soul, radiating kindness and warmth to everyone he met. Dylan had a big heart and was always willing to give to others, offering his time, support, and compassion without hesitation.
I will carry our interactions with me and remember him fondly, reflecting on the conversations we shared. His generosity and spirit left an indelible mark on all of us who were fortunate enough to know him.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
With deepest sympathy,
Marie and David, I was shocked and saddened to hear of Dylan’s passing. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
