Della remembers her son as “the most easy-going, fun loving, and never in a rush for anything” type of guy.

“My favourite thing was when he would come home and go directly to each of us and give us a big hug.”

She says he was making his last trip out to the lake before heading home before the starts of his second season with the Melfort Mustangs.

“He was looking forward to seeing all his hockey buddies,” she wrote.

“I’m comforted knowing he was doing everything he loved to do, but unfortunately never fulfilled his dreams here.”

Dylan’s aunt has created a GoFundMe page to help pay for funeral costs.
