Dylan P. Rielly

Dylan Patrick Rielly, age 35, of Barre, passed away on October 14, 2026. He was born on September 16, 1991, in Berlin, VT, to Patrick and Karen Rielly.

Dylan was a man of profound kindness, warmth, and intense devotion to those he loved. An exceptionally witty individual and a natural prankster, Dylan possessed a brilliant, infectious humor that could light up any room. He was also an incredibly eloquent speaker and writer, gifted with a rare ability to express deep emotion and truth through his words. His life was defined by this vibrant spirit and a profound empathy for others; he routinely put the needs of others before his own, offering a helping hand and a compassionate heart to anyone carrying a heavy burden.

For several years, Dylan was deeply active in the sports of boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA), dedicating his energy to training and finding great joy in the discipline of both sports. Boxing, in particular, was a passion he shared with his father, Patrick, whom Dylan truly looked at as his best friend. He was incredibly close with both of his parents, always crediting his mother, Karen, with being the steady force who grounded him throughout his life.

Above all else, he was a family man. He shared a beautiful life with his beloved wife, Crystal Rielly, who was his rock, his partner, and his greatest supporter. Dylan took immense pride in his family, stepping into the role of a loving and dedicated father to Dominic Trevino, with whom he shared a close and meaningful bond. He was also a deeply proud and loving father to his 13-year-old daughter, Raelynn Rielly, whom he described as "the best damn thing I ever got from this life." The two of them shared many unique bonds, and Raelynn will always fondly cherish her father's fun-loving fascination with aliens. His family was his world, and the love and laughter they shared will forever remain their greatest comfort.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Crystal Rielly, and his son, Dominic Trevino; his daughter, Raelynn Rielly; his parents, Patrick and Karen Rielly; his maternal grandmother, Shirley Clark; and a large circle of loving aunts, uncles, and cousins—including his maternal aunt, Marilyn Pearson, with whom he shared a deeply special, lifelong bond—as well as a community of friends who loved him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Bernard Clark, and his paternal grandparents, Robert and Geraldine Rielly.

There will be no formal funeral services. A private celebration of Dylan’s life will be held at a later date.

Dylan leaves behind a legacy of brilliant wit, profound love, and irreplaceable memories. He will be deeply missed, but his laughter and the love he gave so freely will live on forever as his family carries his vibrant spirit forward.
