I remember the day you were born, how happy we all were,
especially my brother. I keep a picture of the three of us on that day in my window sill. You always had a little extra special place in my heart, being a product of my best friend and closest sibling, it was no surprise that we had a lot in common.. perhaps too much, you also carried my sensitive ❤️.......overly empathetic you absorbed so much of the energy around you, and this can be an exhausting characteristic, I often wonder myself if this is a blessing or a curse. If there is such a thing as too big of a heart or feeling too much for other people, you had one and you did and although others admire this trait in you, I know first hand how intense this can feel at times and what a toll it can take on your soul. Always wanting to make sure everyone is happy, you often forget about your own needs and your own happiness...I know how much the family loves you but I didn't get to see how many others whose paths you crossed felt the same way, and I suspect you cared just as much about every single one of them. That was just your nature....curious like a cat, you genuinely wanted to hear how others felt and were a great listener. You were beautifully weird and strikingly handsome, and your laugh was so infectious I could listen to it all day. That laugh is just one of so many things about you that never being able to experience in person ever again is too much to bare. A life cut way too short, so many things you still had yet to do, I can't help but be overcome with anger, not with you but with the world, and the disease that has cursed us both. You fought a good fight, and you helped others fight too, and I pray that now, in leaving us, and so many broken hearts behind, that you have found inner peace and happiness beyond your wildest dreams. Our lives will never be the same, they will never be as good, not without you in it, but we will do our best to keep going and to help be the change you wanted to see in the world....a world much too ugly for the amount of beauty you contained within. I love you with all my heart and every fiber of my being. May your heaven be as lovely as you were.

What a beautiful soul you were, my dear friend. I’m so sorry you left us so soon. Your absence is leaving a huge void in so many of our lives. I truly pray that you knew how loved and cared for you were. You touched my heart, and the hearts of so many. You were gentle, kind, and loving and I will miss you dearly.
I remember being so impressed and proud of the way you expressed your most inner thoughts, insecurities, and fears so openly and honestly.
You effortlessly gave sincere compliments and I saw you praise others when they needed to feel uplifted. You were generous, gentle and goofy and silly.
I loved to hear you work your thought process out loud and admired the way you’d pause and listen for feedback. I will always hold our long talks close to my heart. I was so proud of you.
Yes, you loved your music and sang all the lyrics …to all the songs (old and new). I just felt so happy to be around you. I’m so sorry you left us this soon. But I feel incredibly privileged to have crossed your path and will hold your warm smile, along with your dorky comments in my heart forever. Rest in peace my sweet friend. I love you.
I pray that your family and loved ones find peace, healing and comfort.

Dylan’s light will never fade. I am grateful that I had the chance to get to know him. A beautiful soul he is. My thoughts are with his family. May you find peace during this difficult time. Ann Portillo
