Obituary

Dylan Murphy was a light in every life he touched — a true force of joy, laughter, and love. With a heart of gold, he had a way of making everyone feel special and seen. Known for his kindness, humor, and protective spirit, Dylan was the friend you could always count on — the one who showed up with a helping hand, a hug, or a perfectly timed joke. A giant teddy bear with an even bigger heart, he brought comfort, and laughter wherever he went. Whether lighting up a room as the life of the party or supporting someone in need, Dylan embodied generosity, loyalty, and compassion.

Dylan loved all animals — especially his beloved cat, Reptar, and the two fluffy corgis that lit up his life, his ”fur sister”, Pippa and “fur niece” Kiki . He was an avid sports fan who cherished watching games with his father, his greatest role model and best bud. A lifelong Mets fan just like his dad, Dylan took great pride in supporting the team (even if it drove his twin sister, Carly, crazy who was a loyal Yankees fan, inspired by their late grandfather. He was also a devoted Buffalo Bills fan and loved traveling to see them play — including a memorable trip to Buffalo last year with his girlfriend, Thanh, where he got to meet up with his godmother and new uncle.



Music was one of his greatest joys — something he and his mother bonded over deeply. The two shared countless late-night conversations, laughter, and stories, reflecting the special bond between a mother and son who truly understood and cherished one another.

As twins, Dylan and Carly might have been day and night, but their love and loyalty to each other were unwavering. The unperishable duty to always be each others biggest protectors came with the twin territory— and for Carly that will never end even after Dylan’s passing. 

Carly and Dylan had their differences but those differences inspired one another in a way that never needed need physical words to be spoken. They recognized what each other was teaching one another just by understanding that their twin counterpart inherently knew they needed in that moment.

Dylan reminded Carly to slow down, take care of herself, and never let anyone or anything dull her light. He believed the world needed her shine and that no job or situation that dimmed it was worth staying in. And Carly, in turn, reminded Dylan of his strength, brilliance, and potential — even when he doubted it himself. Although she never capable of doubting him.

Dylan loved traveling and loved his visits to Dublin. Thanh, his girlfriend became his favorite travel buddy after meeting. Their love was built on their shared loved to go on adventures, share in good eats, giggle on the couch to Southpath and catch the latest Marvel movies. There shared interests were always uncanny which made their relationship so strong—because they were not only lovers but best friends.

Dylan’s talents and heart knew no bounds — from building and improving computers and gaming systems to saving lives when fate placed him at the scene of accidents, pulling strangers to safety without hesitation. Because that’s the type of man Dylan was. He was always eager to help a neighbor out and was a pillar in the Babylon community.

Dylan was blessed with a close, loving family who meant the world to him, and he never failed to tell them how much he loved them. He is survived by his mother, Kim; his father, Christopher; his twin sister, Carly; and his girlfriend, Thanh — along with countless friends, extended family, and loved ones who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.

He lived fully, loved deeply, and gave endlessly — leaving behind a legacy of laughter, warmth, and light that will never fade.
