The tight-knit community of Freeport is grappling with the heartbreaking loss of one of its young members, Dylan Tarbi, a middle school student who tragically passed away following a bicycle accident on Friday, May 24, 2024.
Dylan, a vibrant and beloved student at Freeport Middle School, was known for his infectious smile, boundless energy, and passion for life. On the afternoon of the accident, Dylan was riding his bicycle near his home in Sarver when the tragic incident occurred. Despite the swift response of emergency services and the immediate medical care provided, Dylan succumbed to his injuries later that evening.
Dylan's passing has left a profound void in the hearts of his family, friends, and the entire school community. Teachers and classmates remember Dylan as a kind and enthusiastic young boy who always brought joy to those around him. His love for sports, particularly soccer and basketball, was well-known, and he was an active participant in various school activities and community events.
In the wake of this tragedy, Freeport Middle School has initiated several support measures to help students and staff cope with the loss. Counseling services are being made available, and a memorial space has been set up in the school where students and faculty can leave notes, flowers, and other tributes to honor Dylan's memory.
A candlelight vigil is planned for next week, where the community will come together to remember Dylan and celebrate his life. Details of the vigil will be announced shortly, with plans for the event to be held at the school’s football field, a place where Dylan spent many happy hours with his friends.
Dylan's family has expressed their gratitude for the outpouring of support and condolences from the community. They have requested privacy as they navigate through this period of immense grief but have mentioned that they are touched by the many ways Dylan’s life has been honored and remembered.
