Dylan Geller
Dylan was a devoted son, beloved brother, and friend to all. A vibrant and compassionate man of just 20 years, Dylan touched the lives of all who know him with his warmth, humor and light. He graduated from Eastern Regional High School in 2023 and was a rising Junior at Rowan University.
He was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 12 and, despite the challenges, he did not let it hold him back. Dylan continued to strive to live life, just like other kids his age. He participated in, and later volunteered for, various epilepsy awareness programs, embodying resilience, courage, and compassion.
During his last two years of high school, he volunteered with his school’s special needs population in Room 17, an experience that inspired Dylan to major in Special Education with a minor in Physical Education. His dream after college was to launch an Adaptive Physical Education Program at his former high school, helping students with special needs who were unable to participate in traditional gym classes.
Dylan loved sports and competition of all kinds. Dylan was a loyal fan of all Philadelphia sports, most recently cheering on his beloved Birds, Superbowl LIX Champions, in New Orleans.
Dylan had a gift for making others feel seen, valued, and uplifted - he truly believed in the dignity and potential of every person.
The foundation was created in loving memory of our brother, Dylan, whose life was marked by compassion, resilience, and a deep commitment to helping others. He lived with epilepsy, and though he faced many challenges, he remained determined to make a difference, especially through his studies in Special Education.
In his honor, our mission is twofold:
First, we aim to support ongoing epilepsy research, contributing funds toward better treatments and a future cure. We also focus on advocating for epilepsy safety and awareness, working to educate communities and promote practices that protect and empower those living with epilepsy. The heart of our mission lies in empowering the next generation of educators by providing scholarships for students pursuing degrees in special education.
Through this charity, we carry forward his passion for education, advocacy, and care, creating lasting impact in the lives of others, just as he did in ours.
