July 19, 1988 – October 09, 2024

Our hearts are broken as we say goodbye to our bright star, Dylon Matthew Graham. He now shines down to light the way for his mom, Karin Hahnekamp; his dad, Kelly McDermid; his sister, Andrea Hahnekamp; his three nieces, Alexia Hahnekamp, Beau Hahnekamp and Charity Peters; as well as his ever present and faithful pup, Jadey.

So many will feel his loss, his grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and co-workers. He was a devoted son, loving uncle, caring friend, and “partner in crime” to many.

There will be a Celebration of Life at the Perryvale Community Hall on October 26, 2024 at 1pm. We ask that you bring a picture, story, memory of Dylon to place on his memory board.

I live in the Church in Rochester at the 4 way stop, after a quiet morning, I was listening to my Christian music and reflecting on life, as I looked out over beautiful valley, thinking to myself just how many seasons, the Lord has brought me thru and just how deeply He lives in our Hearts. ( I became a reborn Christian at 19. I was a lost youth, drugs and alcohol, who was Saved by the wonder working power of the Holy Spirit over 40 years ago).

I was literally thinking how many problems the world has now-adays, and how sometimes frustrating it is to get the message out, sharing how amazing and supernatural God is and that He is Real!! and active in our lives.

After a bite to eat, I decided I should do some things in the yard before the weather gets bad. So I got my ladder and needed to fix my eaves trough. At the 4 way stop. I overheard someone upset in a vehicle, saying “I told you I put the address in”! I think it was someone in a burgundy truck. Then after I fixed the trough I was returning the ladder to the backyard. There was blond or gray haired women (like myself) in a silver suv who stopped. She asked where Perryvale was?? and said she was attending a Celebration of Life. I gave her directions, and went around the side to fix something at the same side of my house again. Now as I looked at the corner stop sign, I could see another younger woman looking at her phone, she was driving a green truck, I waved to her. I said ” are you looking for Perryvale, she said “yes”, I told her how to get there. I came back in and I thought I wonder who has passed away ? And then, I saw Dear Dylon’s Celebration of Life ceremony here.

As a Mother, I couldn’t help but feel the tremendous feeling of overwhelming sorrow and loss for a precious child, and also as a sister with his lovely nieces. I think back on those who were lost and one who stopped and asked for directions and the other who, I had to wave my hand to give direction. Often it is the same with the Lord Our Heavenly Father.
Over 5 years ago a visitor to my house pointed out the Gysos Fish over my house in a massive cloud formation. The next day a taxi driver point out a perpendicular rainbow. It was a supernatural miracle!! I tell the story as often as I can to share my testimony, and inspire others, to seek and find God’s precious Love and Amazing Grace. He listens, He Cares. The reason I say Gysos, is this, “Gy” = Life aka Ener-GY and SOS is a well known distress call, which means “S.ave O.ur S.ouls”, God responds in turn with His S.eal O.f S.alvation.

May the Lord, bring you all who are hurting and mourning for the loss of a precious, son, brother and friend, find comfort in knowing God is with Us, 24/7 a constant companion, a Fisherman of Souls, The Good Shepherd, giving direction to those who hear His Voice…

I will be keeping Dylan’s friends and family in my continual prayers. I have had a card drawn up that I give out to ppl at random, and in taking direction from the Lord, today, I feel led by the Spirit to share with yous.
“Cast all of your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you”. 1 Peter 5:7 “Call out your S.O.S and get in His Safety Net”. My sincerest condolences. Rest in Peace Dear Dylon, Lynn

Oh Dylon brother, you can’t be gone. We should be playing Destiny right now, making fun of eachother and laughing our asses off. Like damn, we were just chatting last week, we were going to fire up Borderlands 3 when you got back home. This hits hard man, just know I tell our stories often, and so much we shared is still mega relevant in my life today…

Remember our trip to Motion Notion, when we brought those Nerf guns and like, 200 bullets and painted them all in glow in the dark paint so we could find them at night time?! Ambushing randoms was the funniest thing ever, and we met so many great people because of those Nerf guns. And we didn’t even set up our tent, we just slept in your truck. And Raver Fishing, we could sell that idea dude. Man that weekend was one for the books, and I’ll never forget it.

I don’t think I’ve met anyone else on this planet who loved the Evil Dead movies as much as me, except for you brother. Remember how pumped we were when we found out they were making Ash Vs. Evil Dead? I certainly do. I literally drove to Edmonton for the night, just so we could watch the first episode together. Then they cancelled it after three seasons, those arseholes! I’ll never forget you showing me Kung Fury at my place in Calgary either, I love that movie because of you!! I even dressed up as Kung Fury for Halloween once!!

Not many will have a clue about what I’m saying here, but remember when I accidentally gave you the Steve One title? And then the mud crab from Elder Scrolls ended up with it, then Megan had it, then you got it back, and then you finally gave it back to me years later? I ended making my email and all my handles iAmSteveOne, just so you couldn’t steal it back from me. But man, I would give you back the Steve One moniker in a heartbeat beat if I could, but I guess you’ll forever be Steve Two now lol. Nah, you can have it back when we meet again upstairs homie.

I wish you could have had the chance to meet my wife and daughters, though I’m sure you would have tried to convince them that they’re too good for me, ya frigger!! Damn brother, I’ve missed you these last few years, and now I’ll miss you more. I’ll keep telling our stories dude, we’ve got some good ones!! Keep an eye out for me down here, and don’t make fun of me too much up there. Love you dude.

Rest easy, brother ??

Stars tear thru the universe leaving a “wake”…a blazing trail… in their journey. Yours will be forever felt in our hearts.
Sending warm hugs and shared tears with those who already miss you most.

I don’t Know if a heart can ever be broken more than when a person loses a child. I wish there was more I could do or say to offer you comfort and peace.
