Dylan Anthony de la Cruz, 38, passed away Thursday afternoon, July 7, 2022. The son of Humberto and Renee (Lopez) de la Cruz was born on January 27, 1984. In his younger years Dylan grew up in Chicago, IL attending LaSalle Language Academy where he studied German. A member of the Chicago Native American community he developed many lifelong friendships and memories. He enjoyed attending and dancing at Pow-wows as a Grass Dancer, chocolate milk, cars, and spending the night at his grandmother's house. As a child he could run, ride a bike, and he would often attempt to drive cars before his condition began to impact him. He was born with a rare medical condition that most people might only live to the age of 20, but Dylan far surpassed those expectations. For those that knew Dylan knew that he would always surprise you with a smile on his face and a positive attitude that few have. Dylan is survived by his grandmother Carol Lopez (Metoxen).
