Dylan Adam Ridl was born on August 18, 2009 to Nathan Ridl and Jackie Klingman in Dickinson. He was a very wonderful and special little boy. He was a very loving child. He loved to cuddle. One of his favorite people was Grandma Deb, they spent a lot of time together when she wasn’t working. Dylan loved talking on the phone, whenever he knew grandpa Steve or Great-Grandma Lucy was on the phone he would grab the phone, start giggling and squealing. We all joked, that one day he would make Grandpa Steve go deaf. He loved being with his big brother Jesse, they were inseparable. The day his sister Katie was born, he instantly fell in love with her. Dylan always wanted to hold her and be near her. He was the best little brother but also the best big brother at the same time. Dylan always had a smile on his face, it was a rare occasion when he didn’t smile. He was always ready for a kiss and hug for everyone.

His nickname was Bright Eyes, because he always had a twinkle in his eyes. Dylan loved animals very much, he was always going up the dogs and kissing them. He loved going to his Grandma Annie’s pet store and looking at all the animals. His dad and I would lay down and watch cartoons and movies with Dylan. He never liked wearing shoes.  He loved dancing to any kind of music, it was so cute. Everyone loved Dylan with all of their hearts. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
