Dylan Herb

Dylan Ray Herb was one of those people you just didn’t forget. He lived his 18 years full throttle with a big heart, a sharp sense of humor, and a love for life that pulled everyone in.

He graduated from Shiocton High School in 2023 and had some proud moments as an athlete: playing on the 2022 State Runner-Up football team, qualifying twice for state in wrestling, and being part of the 2023 wrestling team that made it to State. For Dylan, the best part was playing alongside his friends under the lights at Camp Randall, the Kohl Center, or on the mat at the UW Field House, wherever the team came together.

After school, he worked at Lunda Construction and helped out at Herb Farms, but he made sure to live it up, too. He loved hunting, fishing, camping, snowmobiling, driving tractors, races, or anything related to burnouts. He loved hanging out with friends and family, having a few drinks, and stirring up just the right amount of shenanigans.

He could talk to anyone, young or old. He was gentle with elders, great with kids, and always willing when someone needed help. Dylan also had that unmistakable edge — rough around the edges in the best way. If he messed with you, gave you a hard time or got a little rowdy, it usually meant he liked you. That was just Dylan — loyal, honest, and always real.

He was the happiest surrounded by the people he loved and leaves behind a legacy of friendship, family, and unforgettable memories.
