Early in his life, Dylan showed an interest in all sports. At the age of three, he began playing soccer, which then led to baseball, basketball, football, cross country, and track. He enjoyed all of them but found his passion in soccer. Dylan played on competitive traveling teams as well as his high school varsity soccer team. In his senior year, he was selected for the All-State West team and voted Man of the Year. Dylan began his elementary education at Lake Park Elementary and Overholser Elementary before moving to Bethany Public Schools, where he graduated in 2017. His friends, teachers, and coaches described him as exceptional, a gentleman, filled with joy, intellectual, diligent, friendly, considerate, thoughtful, kind, and loyal.

He continued his education and played collegiate soccer at Southwest Christian University, where his team won an NCCAA National Championship. Dylan received his Associate Degree in Science-Enterprise Development from Oklahoma State University and continued his studies in Management Information Systems at the University of Central Oklahoma. He found a great work family at MHC Kenworth, where he was a fleet account representative.

Dylan was known for his quick wit and engaging personality. He will always be remembered for his infectious smile and laughter. Some of Dylan’s favorite pastimes included fishing, playing computer and video games, spending time at the lake with friends and family, disc golf, hunting, riding dirt bikes, and country line dancing.
