Dylan Hockley loved the color purple. He used to come home from school showing off pieces of paper where he’d drawn big purple dots. He loved looking at the moon and seeing a flash of lightning, although he couldn’t stand the sound of thunder. He adored his older brother, Jake, and he liked being held close to his mother – like a koala, she said.
“He was definitely the center of our family and just pure, unadulterated love and joy,” said Dylan’s mother, Nicole Hockley.
