I’ve been friends with Dylan for well over 10 years now. Prior to meeting him, I was a junior in high school. I had little to no confidence, did not know how to dress, put myself out there, was a very anxious and awkward person. Once he came into my life, it all started with a common hobby we shared; basketball. He was and still is the person that just gravitates you towards him from the positive energy he continues to give into the world. He helped me learn how to dress, act, talk to females, take a chance on myself, and stop fearing the worst and to actually live life in general. Thank you wouldn’t even come close to express how grateful I am for him coming into my life and being a brother to me. He’s been there during my darkest, brightest, highest, and lowest moments and continues to hold it down despite what life throws our respective ways. He really is someone that any person would be lucky to call a friend and a brother. I was and am lucky to see the man he continues to develop and mold himself into, he’s one of if not the only person that I genuinely can’t think of any flaws when it comes to being a man as he is someone I hold to the highest standard. From playing on the court, ripping and running all over SoCal during school nights, rough patches, to paving our own way in this strange thing we call life. He has always been one of my biggest supporters and heavily left his mark on my life in the best way imaginable.
