We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services – Mount Vernon
Fishing at south cedar, Dylan could have the time of his life doing almost anything. He had a joy for life in the moment that is rare.
Much sadness for a man who showed much kindness.
This was one of the very last pictures taken of Dylan before he passed. He was at my show dancing with my Grandmother
He was an old soul, salt of the earth, and a dear friend
He was always there when you needed him, and he always picked up the phone.
I promise his legend will live on in song, and I will miss him forever
– Eli
I wasn’t as lucky as so many others. We were definitely family but living across country I didn’t get a chance to know you. I’m thankful for the one time that my son and I made the trip back to Iowa and I finally got to meet you and Kyle both. I don’t think very many know but we have over 28 first cousins in our family. I’m at a loss for words and my heart hurts for my family that have a huge hole left in their world. I have watched you grow over the years through Facebook and know that you have so many people who loved you. RIP cousin, you will be greatly missed!
We were invited out to Angie’s for a Christmas party and dylan was so happy I have pictures from that night. Lisa dylan and I made a tik-tok I hope she still has it, it was so funny. Oh Dylan how we all miss you! You were so loved. Phoebe tells stories of him.
Dylan buddy, I hope your at pease. I can never thank you enough for being the hand you are and pulling those bulls off of me. You will be missed
Our deepest condolences to the Woods family
Woody we are so very sorry to hear this. He was so young with so much life ahead. You are in my prayers, along with all of Dylan’s family and friends.
In loving memory of our nephew, Dylan (Dill Pickle) Woods. Sending thoughts and prayers of comfort and peace to his mother, father and siblings.
Today was very difficult to watch my sister and her family along with Jim Woods struggle to get through service!
May the memories of Dylan live and sustain you.
