Dylan Jake Townsley
South Shields
We are heartbroken to announce the sudden and tragic loss of Dylan’s life on Thursday the 21st May 2026 aged only 20 years old.
Losing Dylan has left a pain that words can not describe, his absence will forever affect his family and friends. It has left a space in all our hearts which can never truly be filled. He was and still is deeply loved and the memories we all share with him will be cherished. His loss has changed so many lives and he will never be forgotten.
Dylan was a deeply loved son to his mam Lynn, her partner George and his late father Mark. He was a caring younger brother to Ethan and adored by his twin brother Tyler as well as his baby brother Jacob. He was a treasured grandson to his Nana Trish, and a loved nephew to his uncles Lardy, Mikey and the late Raymond
Dylan’s memorial service will take place on Thursday 18th June 2026 at the South Shields Crematorium at 9:45am. This will be followed by a burial at Harton Cemetery at 10:30am to be reunited with his dad, Mark.
As a family request, there will be no formal dress code. Please feel free to dress comfortably; however, in honour of Dylan, we kindly ask that you wear something blue, as this was his favourite colour.
Anyone who wishes to pay their final respects is more than welcome to do so. If anyone would like to send flowers Dylan will be resting at Tynedale Family Funeral Directors South Shields. Please note this will be monitored via a password so anyone who wishes to visit him contact his family
We hope you are at peace now son, until we meet again love you always xx
