He came into this world center of attention and never stopped seeking the spotlight. If you were down around Dyllan, it didn’t last long.

Dyllan and Devyon will be laid to rest together. Dyllan later welcomed a sister, Ashlyn Schmidt in 2007. Dyllan couldn’t wait to get to the hospital to read to his sister. He took her under his wing and when mom needed a break to do daily chores, you could find Dyllan holding his sister on the bean bag while they slept. In 2009, Daltyn was added to clan, and he couldn’t have been happier to finally have a brother. During this time, he built a strong bond with his stepdad, Jeremy Schmidt.

Dyllan moved between Havre and other towns growing up. Touching so many people in each place he visited. He loved playing sports with a special passion for football and baseball. Dyllan could eat you out of house and home if you had the right food. He was larger than life and everyday was a reason to celebrate. Dyllan’s favorite holidays were his birthday, Halloween, and Christmas. He couldn’t wait to celebrate and was always dressed up in his unique style, whether it be dressing up as buzz lightyear or wearing the ugly sweater or dressing like Joe Dirt.
