Dylan was born on September 24, 1998 in Amarillo. He attended Amarillo High School and Canyon High School, and then studied at Maranatha Baptist University.

Dylan was an avid outdoorsman and was passionate about fishing, hunting, and rock climbing. He was a former tower climber at Watson's Tower Lighting and a former coach at Risen Rock Climbing. He also enjoyed and was very talented at multiple sports, and he loved horseback riding. He was a wonderful father, and his daughter, Sarah Beth, was the absolute love of his life.

Dylan loved and served the Lord and was thankful for his salvation. Southland Christian Ministries in Ringgold, Louisiana had a major impact on his life, attending church camp there from middle school through high school. He also attended some college classes in a ministry they provided and then worked there for two years. These Godly men mentored Dylan through the years as a young man and served as a home away from home, which he loved.

Dylan was preceded in death by his great grandmother, Kathleen Wedgeworth and his grandmother, Sylvia Dumas.
