A Last Gift, Help Send Dylan's Remains To Ireland

Donation protected
Dylan's earliest memories were in the hospital. As a young boy in the early 1980's, he was diagnosed with leukemia. He suffered through experimental treatments that blasted radiation through his tiny body as the doctors and medical world learned about this form of cancer. 
Dylan was a valiant fighter and despite all odds conquered leukemia. Fortunately his younger brother Dustin was a perfect match for a bone marrow transplant, but these treatments left a devastating toll on his body.  
During one of his blood transfusions he received blood tainted with Hep-C. This caused him to have challenges with his liver as he grew older. Dylan and his two brothers became quite familiar with trips to the hospital as the medical community continued to try and help Dylan. 
He was passionate about music and played the saxophone in High School and in a community band. He was a hard worker, a loyal friend, and was selfless in his service to others. He gave constantly of himself. 

As time progressed, so did Dylan's health challenges. It seemed that those early memories in the hospital would follow him his entire life as he continued to suffer from the consequences of his early treatments.
He fought through heart surgery, diabetes, leiomyosarcoma, and a never ending stream of hospital visits with challenges that seemed to confound hospital staff. 
On May 13, just days after doctors wanted to amputate his leg because of a post-surgery sepsis infection, he passed away surrounded by his loving family. He was only 41 years old.

One of his final wishes was to have his ashes spread in various spots in Ireland. Your donation today will help us to make his final wishes a reality. All donations will be used to send his mother and brothers to the various locations throughout Ireland to spread his ashes.
