Dylan Hammond Obituary

Dylan M. Hammond

Dylan M. Hammond, whose infectious laughter and vibrant soul made him the life of the party, passed away unexpectedly Sunday, November 30, 2025. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, William Kreeger, David and Linda Hamilton, and his cousin, Mateo Muniz. Known for bringing excitement and light into every room, Dylan created unforgettable memories for those fortunate enough to know him.

Dylan was born to and survived by his parents, Angela Bame (Navarro) and Christopher (Ada) Hammond, April 9, 1999, in Fostoria. Early in life, Dylan became a superior athlete, thriving in wrestling and football. After graduating from Columbus Grove High School in 2017, Dylan went on to earn his associate degree in business management and his real estate license, reflecting his dedication and drive. He celebrated his achievements with the same enthusiasm and warmth that defined all aspects of his life. He was also employed at Pastimes for nine years, where he not only made friends but also family.

Dylan's favorite ways to spend his time were making his friends laugh and traveling with his fiancée, Kayla. He loved exploring new places. Traveling brought him joy, and those who knew him will always remember the way his eyes lit up when he talked about a place he had visited or planned to visit.

Dylan was a devoted son, a loyal brother, a loving uncle, a proud cat dad to Ashtray, and a soon-to-be father.

Ambitious by nature, he was always reaching for higher goals and achieving them through hard work and perseverance. He inspired those around him simply by being himself: reliable, determined, thoughtful and endlessly supportive.

Dylan will be remembered for his big heart, his steady presence and the incredible impact he had on everyone lucky enough to know him.
