Dylan (not a great swimmer) went out and saved his cousin went back out for his brother. A jetski helped bring his brother in and when they turned around he had already went under. He's 6'8" 320 pounds not alotta belly so it's gotta be hard to keep that afloat. Nonetheless I he was a pleasure to be around and will be greatly missed.
