Dylan's family released a statement earlier this week, saying that he was the "best son, brother, cousin and friend."

"We’d like to thank all family members and friends for their support at this extremely sad and difficult time," the statement read.

“It’s very difficult to put into words just how much Dylan meant to so many people.“He was the best son, brother, cousin and friend we could have asked for.“He will forever be in our hearts and the memories of his life will stay with us forever.”
