Dylan McMahon Obituary, Death- Dylan Charles McMahon, a vibrant soul of 31 years, passed away on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, in Rockford, the place that held his heart.
Born on May 22, 1992, Dylan was the cherished son of John and Cresta (Watson) McMahon, a testament to the love they shared. Dylan’s journey began at Hononegah High School, and he later found his purpose working with JG McMahon Construction.
