Thinker. Dreamer. Courageous. Aspiring Teacher. Born Nov. 27, 2003, in Mississauga, Ont.; died June 17, 2022, in Cambridge, Ont, by suicide; aged 18.
Dylan was the first born into a loving family, with two uncles and an aunt, grandparents and even great-grandparents. Four years later, his sister was born and Dylan embraced being a big brother.
Dylan usually called me Nonno but some time last year he said, “Hey Nonno, you know we’re not Italian and I can’t pronounce the long Czech name. Would you mind if I started calling you Grandpa?” It made sense to me. And that was Dylan. He had an incredible amount of common sense. Always so polite, well-mannered and well-spoken.
My favourite time was to talk during our walks and hikes. Other times Dylan would call me late at night when he should have been sleeping and early in the morning while I was running with my ear buds in. We would discuss life, world events, family and his dreams and aspirations. We discussed what he wanted to study and have for a career . His most consistent and go-to occupation was as an English teacher in Japan.
