Dylan Dane Ryan Bettencourt

October 9, 2000 - August 13, 2020

Dylan was born on October 9, 2000 in Roseville, Ca. As the first child, grandchild, great-grandchild and great-great grandchild in his family, he was a loved and treasured blessing to all from the very beginning. Dylan was a happy, content and joyful baby; qualities that never changed as he grew. In September of 2002, 2 weeks before his 2nd birthday, we welcomed another addition to the family in the form of Dylan's brother Ryder. Even at such a young age, Dylan was an attentive and loving older brother. We have many pictures of him holding Ryder and feeding him a bottle. In June of 2007, we welcomed 3rd son Brody and 13 months later, 4th son Riley came along. Our family was complete and as the oldest of the 4 boys, Dylan truly was an excellent big brother. He was mature and responsible enough to lead and watch over his brothers but he was also youthful and joyful enough to play with and have fun with them. Dylan attended Placer Elementary School for the entirety of his primary school years, from kindergarten all the way through 8th grade. When he graduated 8th grade, he moved on to Del Oro High School. He was able to finish all of his credits early, technically graduating in December of 2018. He participated in the official ceremony that summer and in a very proud moment for his family, he walked across the graduation stage as part of the class of 2019. Dylan loved sports and over the course of his young life he played baseball, football and he also wrestled. Dylan was known for his kindness and generosity. He cared tremendously about others and never hesitated to lend a positive word or a helping hand to those who needed it. Dylan was very outgoing, extremely personable and he had a huge, loud, infectious and ridiculous laugh that perfectly reflected what a happy person he was. Dylan died peacefully at home on August 13, 2020, knowing he was loved. And those of us he left behind have no doubt as to how much he loved us because Dylan was always generous with his affection. Dylan was preceded in death by Great Grandparents Ray and Deloris Bettencourt and Uncle Chance Bettencourt. Dylan is survived by his loving parents Christian and Chelsea, younger brothers Ryder, Brody and Riley, Grandparents Robert Bettencourt, Peter Bried and Raj Roopnarine, Uncles Brandon (Jill) Bettencourt and Dane (Holly) Bettencourt as well as many great uncles, great aunts and cousins. Services to lay our beautiful son Dylan to rest will be held Friday, 8/28/2020 at 9:00 AM at the Newcastle Cemete1y (850 Taylor Road in Newcastle, CA).
