I remember Dylan as being one of the greatest and most amazing people I’ve ever met and im heartbroken that he’s gone but I also know he is in a better place now, Dylan would always go out of his way to help people and was always a perfect friend to me and talked to me whenever I needed him to. Rest In Peace homeboy I’ll see you again one day❤️❤️❤️????

My heart goes out to the LeDrew's. “I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on their tombstone from the beginning…to the end. He noted that first came the date of birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years." Although I was only around for about a year or so of Dylan's 'dash' I remember him as the sweetest kid you would ever meet, he would have my sides aching i would be laughing so hard. He was by far the funniest person i knew. I remember running through the neighborhood with him, Matt, and few other neighborhood kids and just having a blast and watching them play hockey out front, playing xbox, life was so simple then. It's crazy the little things in life that seem like just passing time and when you look back those were the best moments. Just being yourself around people you care about, not really doing much of anything... those are the moments we cherish. I just found out today and I felt the weight of the world sink in my chest... I always thought that the next time i heard his name would be on NHL, he used to tell me that was his dream. I miss you Dylan. I can't help but feel like if we stayed in touch this wouldn't have happened but i know placing blame where it isn't necessary wont help anything, I promise to the bottom of my heart you will never be forgotten. Rest easy Dylan.

Jenn, Nate and Linda Words cannot Express how deeply sorry I am. When I introduced you two so many years ago, I wasnt aware something so miraculous would come from one introduction. What a great kid he was! I am hoping healing wont be too difficult because you all have each other. Now is not a time to get caught up in other thoughts or what ifs. I love you all, God is with him.

Dylan Ledrew was my boy. This was the only boy in my life that I felt I could talk to about anything. We planned to do so much together in the future. All the time in class the teacher would tell us to stop talking or stop rapping and pay attention. We listened to them sometime but other times we would just keep it down. We would match all the time and it would never be planned. I helped him with his homework if I understood it or if I really didn’t feel like explaining it, I’d just give him the answers. He had so much good in him and so much potentials I love and miss him so much. We even came up with his rapper name together. It was doughboy. He said he really liked the dough man that comes on those little cans and you just pop the biscuits in the oven and they would cook. He liked them so I said ok how about doughboy ? And he was like yoooooo that’s tuff I’m sticking with that! I have so many great memories of Dylan. I’m so hurt that he left this world so soon. I got us now Dylan. Imma make it for us. DoughboyXSena ❤️?? R.I.P baby boy❤️?

Dearest Linda, I want to extend my extreme condolences to you and your family. You did a wonderful job raising such a loving, handsome boy. There was never a time I didn’t see him full of life and a glitter in his eyes. I don’t know where to start or express how much love he had for you. You were always there for him in his times of need and he wouldn’t have been who he was if it weren’t for you. I thank you for allowing me and my family into his life. He had my heart from the moment I held him. He always had and will always have a large piece of it. I wish I knew what to say to give you some type of comfort but I know that will be hard for you. I know he is watching over you right now with those big eyes. When the sun shines I hope u feel the warmth and know it is the warmth of his heart and smile shining down on you and you feel that warmth as a big hug to his loving grandmother. Heaven gained one of their greatest angels when he went to heaven. Please know that you did your absolute best for him and he went knowing that. Sending my love and prayers your way and kisses up to heaven!
