Dylan exuded passion and a larger than life attitude. He was a fierce and loyal friend, loving son, exuberant uncle Dyl, devoted and sensational husband, and an amazing daddy. He was the hardest worker, a wonderful mentor, did everything his way (and so did everyone else) and always spoke his truth. Dylan was always the first one to come in with a smile, crack a joke, raise a toast, or lend a hand. You could never threaten him with a good time because he did everything full tilt and to the bar. He left this earth on July 2 riding the wind with the adrenaline pumping, exactly the way he would have wanted. He will be dearly missed by his loving parents Joyce and Perry Lichtenberger, Oma Analies Lichtenberger, sister and brother-in-law Candice MacKenzie and Darryl Seminksy, nephew Marcus MacKenzie, and brother Adam Stoner with whom he shared a great love of music and rocked our world together. The whole music community is mourning the loss of a great drummer and guitarist. Daddy will live on in the lives of his wife Trisha Lichtenberger (nee Finlay), daughters Nova Melody and Aurora Analie, mother and father-in-law Dwight and Sheila Finlay, the entire Finlay and MacLean Families, his buddies around the world, and his dirt biking and work “families”. Nova wanted everyone to know that the best part of her daddy was everything. Dylan, we hope that wherever you are, you have a front row seat to watch over your girls with an ice cold Peroni in your hand, a rocking set of drums and a full tank of gas in your bike and toy car. We love you so much it makes us sick. At 6 pm on Friday July 12th at the Lions Centre in Cobourg (157 Elgin St E, Cobourg, ON) the kids will be playing, the bands will be rocking, the drinks will be pouring and we will be celebrating Dylan the way he would want. We welcome everyone to join the celebration (kids are encouraged to come spend some time with his girls). In lieu of flowers, a daddy fund will be set up for Nova and Aurora to provide them with anything daddy would have wanted for them. GoFundMe. Condolences received at www.MacCoubrey.com.
Perry and family, my deepest sympathies go out to all of you for your tragic loss.

My deepest sympathies to Joyce and family n the loss of your beloved son.
Dylan was our neighbour in Airdrie and he was always willing to help us out with anything house related and have a good say. We greatly appreciated all his help and support the past three years. Our daughter was always so happy to see him in the driveway tinkering away. It’s hard to believe because he was so full of life and always so friendly and kind to us. We are thinking of Trish, the girls and all other family members during this time.Kirk, Kelsey and Sophie Keating
Our thoughts are with you and your family.
With our Deepest Sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We had the pleasure of meeting Dylan at Holly’s when he came to pick up Nova.
Joyce, Perry, Candace, Trisha and girls....I am thinking of all of you and know you will keep all those precious memories of Dylan alive in your hearts.Tammy
Dylan was in a class of his own! It was a pleasure to have met him and play a round of golf with him. I learned a few things about business from him as well. Thank you Dylan.Deepest condolences to his family.Malcolm
Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
Dear Sheila and Dwight and family. We were saddened to learn of your tragic loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May your wonderful memories of Dylan be a source of strength. sincere condolences, Jim and Patti-Jo, Methuen lake
My deepest condolences. Dylan passed too young and too soon.I’ll be thinking of you tonight -cracking a cold Peroni and listening to very loud southern rock—and lifting a glass to Dylan. Peace and love to you all from the East Coast. ??
I want to express my condolences to Trisha, the children and the entire Lichtenberger family.I first met Dylan approximately 5 years ago when he was considering coming to work for me. I must say I immediately noticed two things about him - first and foremost the light of his energy. He was for sure a "full tilt" personality and I could see that right away. Second, he had these really cool Coach loafers (funny that I remember that about my initial meeting). After joining the company we became closer - not only professionally, but personally as well. He not only shared, but was part of bringing our vision to life that shaped the company we were becoming. Most everyone in the company looked up to him as someone who could make decisions, get things done ... and win. I could easily see he was a leader. He was always pumped and ready to roll ... with a smile and a joke. We had a running dialogue about his favourite Robert Graham shirts.As I got to know him more personally I had the pleasure of meeting Trisha and Nova and getting to know about his many passions, most notably guitar and drums (which we talked about often) and his need to master horsepower. It seemed he had a different car every time we got together. He was always on the ready to lend a hand and give of himself any time of the day. It was easy to be drawn to Dylan's energy, his sense of humour, his love of his family and his confidence and his selfless nature. I have a deep affection for Dylan and I know his leaving is a loss for everyone that he touched.Helene and I will miss him dearly.Bruce & Helene Rudichuk
We are so very sorry to hear of this sad news. Dylan was a kind and gentle person who always enjoyed life to the fullest. I always remember his pleasant and charming demeanour and how well he related to everyone. He had a love of life and it is sad that his was taken away so prematurely. Our thoughts are with Joyce and Perry and Trish and the children as well as with his other family members.
To Joyce , Perry and family . You have my sorrows. Be kind to your heart in the coming days ??

We were so very sad to hear of Dylan's passing. I worked with Dylan a few years ago and considered him a friend. He was full of life, a caring soul, and a great guy. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.Janet Turchak & Family

His energy and positivity are irreplaceable and unforgettable.I am still shocked and saddened. Not sure what else to say. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

We shared great memories that will keep forever...doing what we loved. I know you will always be looking down on our families from up above as we will never forget the amazing human being you were. We love you Dylan and always in our hearts. We will always be there for Trish Nova and Aurora
I never had the pleasure of being introduced to Dylan but I'm sure he's been present at many fundraisers for those in need thathis parents band and musician friends have hosted or been a part of over the last years along with the huge family of musiciansin this area. He sounds like the free spirit he was meant to be. My heart goes out to all of his family at this time. My thoughts andprayers are with you all at this terrible time. I look forward to celebrating his life with you in the future
Trish and the girls,I am Kelsy Keating's Mom. My heart goes out you as you deal with the loss of Dylan. Kirk called to let me know. May the shared memories give comfort to you and all of the families. Your beautiful girls will keep you going.Sincerely,Dianne Sheehan
I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Dylan. Your hearts must be broken. He was such a beautiful little boy. You're right. He was a very loyal friend to my son when they were little boys. My sincere sympathy to you. This is heartbreaking.
Honey, I wish I could say something that would comfort your greatest loss. I was just thinking about a memory of you. It was one of Adam and Jennifer's football parties, and you brought the most delicious steak and horseradish snack. Not sure why I even mentioned this story, other than I miss those times very much, because it's when our loved ones were still with us I guess. Wish I was closer to give you a hug honey. Love you lots. Linda Morrow
You will always be in our hearts. You were one of the best. Thoughts & prayers are with you.
Dear Joyce, Perry, Candice and family, my deepest, heartfelt Sympathy and LOVE to you. Sometimes there are no answers but there will always be those Loving memories. Happy to say the last time i saw Dylan, we bonded laughed and glad we did! He was surrounded by LOVE as he is now. PEACE brother.
