Dylan E. Fehlman, 17, of Tiona, died as a result of an accident on Monday, February 20, 2017.  Dylan was born September 24, 1999.  He is the son of Dustin Lee Nelson, of Casper, WI, and Jamie Nicole Nelson, of Tiona.

Dylan was in his junior year at Cyber Charter School, and had previously attended Youngsville and Sheffield High School.  He loved being with his family most of the time; he also loved tickling them until they couldn't breathe.  He had a great sense of humor and would just light up a room, he loved playing jokes on everyone.  He loved telling his family since he was so tall, "Hey Shorty, how's the air down there?"  He also loved playing X-Box one, sled riding, being with his friends, camping, fishing, Skypeing on the computer, and animals.  He was very smart and never complained about anything and had the biggest heart of gold.  He will always be loved from infinity and beyond and sadly missed by anyone who knew him.  He now rules his own "Galaxy!", and he touched lives in a special way that no one else could.

He will be greatly missed by anyone who knew him.  In addition to his parents, he is survived by his step-father, Christopher C. Nelson; maternal grandparents, Richard E. Fehlman, of Grand Valley, and Edith M. Ciongoli, of Tiona; his paternal grandparents, Robert Proctor, of Clarendon, and Laura Tipton, of Gillette, WY; his step-grandfather, Vincent Cingoli, of Tiona; and four siblings, Alexis L. Fehlman, Gavin J. Fehlman, Colten C. Nelson, and Cameron C. Nelson, who live at home.

He was preceded in death by his great-grandparents, Edwin Falconer, William Fehlman, Russell Nelson, Jr. and Joyce Nelson.

Dylan's family would like to offer a special thanks to all the volunteers who helped in the search for him and to his best "Bud" Fred Bailey Jr.

Friends will be received at the Sheffield United Methodist Church, 11 West Main St, Sheffield, on Saturday, February 25, from 10 to 11 a.m., at which time a memorial service will be held there with Rev. Terry Teluch, pastor, officiating.
