I am Katelynn Jade's grandmother. Dylan had been to my home several times , he was an amazing, sweet young man.. He made my granddaughter very happy! I am so sorry not only for the Kelly family but for what the world will miss out on by Dylan not being here. I truly feel Katelynn and Dylan were soul mates and pray Katelynn won't be afraid to love again . My deepest condolences go to the Kelly family for the loss of their son and brother .

Our family is so sad and heartbroken over your loss. Dylan was such a wonderful boy and young man. There was never a time that I seen him that he did not smile and shake my hand and say "Hello Mr. Byrd" You did a wonderful job raising Dylan, your loss is unfathomable and I hurt for y'all.
