Dylon Timothy Downs, 18, of Newton died on Friday, Nov. 7, 2008.
A memorial service will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday, at the Wallace Family Funeral Home.
The family will greet friends from 10 a.m. until the time of service.
Those left to honor Dylon’s memory are his parents, Brad and Keri Downs; two sisters, Zoey and Echo; his grandparents, Marv and Margaret Jacobs, Ted and Vivian Huisman and Joe Downs; aunts and uncles, Lecia and Les Haggard, Sandi and Ed Rund, Pati and Joel Richman, Mark and Michelle Huisman, Sonny Jacobs and Chad Huisman; and many cousins.
He was preceded in death by his uncle, Timothy Downs.
Dylon was an amazing guy with a generous, giant heart and a crazy, infectious laugh. He enjoyed playing golf, fishing, football and hanging out with friends, but most of all he adored his sisters, Zoey and Echo. Dylon gave generously of his time, volunteering and playing cards and cribbage at Willowbrook and had received a medal for helping with the spring floods in Des Moines.
Memorials in Dylon’s name to be used for a college fund for his sisters may be left at the Wallace Family Funeral Home.
