He was a 2004 graduate of Northeastern High School and graduated in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Ohio University. Dylan, while having traveled and experienced so many different things in life, preferred the pursuit of the simpler pleasures around home with his family and friends, including numerous outdoor activities on the farm, kicking back and singing karaoke, and generally being a "redneck" while tinkering with and driving his pride and joy pickup truck. He will be loved and missed.
