Dylan is hard to miss. He’s really tall with an easy smile and piercing blue eyes.

He plays basketball and baseball. In addition to being athletic, he is tech-savvy. Dylan landed a summer job with a computer company. At home, he’s the go-to guy when someone’s laptop freezes or their phone glitches. This fall, he will study computer science at St John’s University.

Dylan is the oldest of three siblings in a tight-knit family. They endured heartbreak in 2020 when his father died suddenly. Loss makes you grow up fast.

But loss also builds resilience, sparks compassion, and strengthens faith. This combo will be a powerful asset to Dylan’s life and to his father’s legacy.
