Mr. Dylan Michael Thomas, age 16, of Hollonville, passed away September 30, 2018. Dylan was a Junior at Pike County High School. He loved all sports, but football was his favorite. He was a linebacker and running back for the Pike County Pirates. When he was younger, he played second base, catcher and shortstop for Pike County recreational baseball. He was passionate about the outdoors, and a skilled fisherman and hunter. He especially enjoyed deer, turkey and duck hunting. He was also an excellent marksman.
Dylan lived life to the fullest. He was a true friend, who never met a stranger. He was a loving son and brother.
