Dylan S. Papa

Dylan Scott Papa passed away unexpectedly on July 18, 2025, in Mount Holly, New Jersey, at the age of 35. Born on May 3, 1990, in Flemington, New Jersey, Dylan spent his life in the Garden State, where he built lasting memories with those who knew and loved him.
 

A graduate of Voorhees High School, he pursued his passion for health and fitness by earning his Personal Training Certification from the National Personal Training Institute. Dylan’s journey later led him on a new professional path as a Landscape Foreman. His work ethic and perseverance were hallmarks of his character. Those who knew him recognized his drive to achieve and his belief in the value of hard work. 

Dylan found joy in the simple pleasures of life, especially through his love of video games and Legos. It brought him both relaxation and creativity, offering a window into his imaginative spirit and playful nature. He had a deep love for cars and sports, often immersing himself in games and competitions with enthusiasm. Whether traveling to new places or collecting sports memorabilia, Dylan embraced life with curiosity and excitement.

Those who knew Dylan will remember him as a loving and fun individual—a big softy at heart who could be indecisive or even a bit of a pain in the ass at times—but always remained a great person through and through. His personality was full of contradictions that made him uniquely endearing: spirited yet gentle, stubborn yet generous.

Dylan is survived by his brothers and sisters, as well as his nieces, nephew, aunt, uncle, and grandmother. He was preceded in death by his mother and father and his maternal grandparents.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to inspire moments of joy and reflection. A Celebration of Life will be held on August 2, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 05:00 PM at Riley & Jake's 1831 NJ-31 Clinton, New Jersey. Anyone is welcome to drop in and hang out.
