Dylan Pladers  October 10, 1994 – January , 2026

Jon Dylan Pladers brought light and joy into the world on October 10th 1994, in Bedford, Texas. He grew up in Flower Mound with his devoted mother, Carolyn, who was his constant source of love and support. Dylan graduated from Flower Mound High School and went on to earn a degree in Chemical and Biological Engineering from the University of Alabama—a proud achievement for this Crimson Tide fan. Roll Tide!

Dylan took great pride in his work in instrumentation and sales, beginning his professional journey at TechStar and eventually returning there, which truly felt like coming home. Throughout his career, he formed lasting relationships across the industry. Dylan's genuine care for his colleagues and the people he worked with will continue to have a positive impact.

Dylan's career took him to Houston and Fort Worth, where he built a life filled with purpose and friendships that lasted a lifetime. It was in Arlington that he met Maranda, the love of his life. They married on December 24, 2024, and recently began a new chapter together in Amarillo, Texas. Dylan and Maranda shared a passion for adventure, traveling to Spain, Ireland and Amsterdam and dreaming of many more journeys together.

Dylan lived his life with kindness, integrity, and joy. He cherished every win in life—not just his own, but those of everyone he knew. His love for Alabama football was legendary, and Saturdays were sacred, spent cheering on the Tide with Maranda, Carolyn, and friends. He also loved flying and treasured time in the hangar with his PaPa, creating memories that will live on forever.

Above all, Dylan was a family man. His bond with his mother, Carolyn, was extraordinary, and he deeply loved and honored his whole family. He will be forever cherished by his loving wife Maranda; his parents, Carolyn, Jon, and Jason (stepfather); Grandparents, Donna, Kenneth and Paula, his sister Heather, her husband Jake, children Brayden, Eloise, Adeline and Emilia, Aunt Kenna and Kristi, his uncle Bryan, his cousin Kennedy, Travis and Laura, their children Peyton, Preston and Parker who have always been his family along with his wide circle of nieces, nephews, and friends who were blessed by his warmth and generosity.

Dylan's life was a testament to living fully and loving deeply. His light will continue to shine in the hearts of all who knew him.
