Dylan, Taken too soon my friend. You will be missed by so many. So sad to see you gone. Thank you for the love and kindness you showed to me throughout my life especially in recovery. Rest in peace brother. Much love

Dylan, I will cherish our childhood memories & all the time we spent growing up together in Hawera then later Auckland. I was lucky to have that time with you. You were one of my best friends & you were a great friend! I'm glad we reconnected when you moved to Christchurch, you always made an effort and for that I am so thankful. Our last convosation was just a couple of weeks ago, you told me you were proud of me and that I'd always be one of your best mates. I'm so glad you told people what they meant to you because it means alot to me! Family was the most important thing to you & it had been from a young age. That is something that never waivered throughout the years. You were so intelligent, wow could you write! I hope you have found peace my friend. Your service was beautiful and its clear the love you have left behind. Jane, Jordan and Alexandria I am so sorry! I hope to give you all a big hug when I see you again. Love you Dylan, rest easy xxx

One of the kindest and most generous souls I know. I have so many fond memories of our youth, ones that will last a lifetime. I’m so sorry your time on earth ended up not easy for you. You brought so much laughter and fun into it! For that I am forever grateful. It’s bittersweet that you are at peace now and all suffering has stopped for you. Sending love and peace to the Norgates at this difficult time x

I was so saddened to hear of Dylan's passing. Sending so much love to his family at this time. May you now be at peace Dylan. You were always so kind to me, I will miss randomly getting messages from you asking how I'm doing. Fly high my friend ❤

Yo Dylan that was a beautiful service mate really hit me different, the words spoken by all the boys was massive. The respect an maturity of those around you is inspiring thank you guys Regency Taxis loved the Norgates. My memorys of you getting the boys those taxis all around Auckland all day an everyday was priceless an genuinely I was allways thinking this dude young boss. Dylans in his singlet the drivers in there suits following his everyword.🕯🍻 He loved his father his biggest idol. The energy was allways on another level inspiring us all to live life being true to ourselves an those around us. Greatfull for those days💙 FreestyleFlyingKingSpektoner🕯✨

You showed me nothing but love brother, may you rest easy ❤️

You had such a big heart even through the tough moments. I'll miss your sporadic raps and words of encouragement in my inbox. I hope you're finally at peace now Dylan. You'll be missed by so many xx

Those demons are gone now my bro. You were fiercely loyal. You were a soldier and tried to better yourself and others. You had a massive heart and will be a friend forever. No more tormenting. Love you

Dylan, very sad news to hear. I will always remember your kind heart, the cheekiness about you and your competitive nature. You are loved and will be sorely missed, Rest in peace mate

I am gutted that this has happened mate. I will always remember our time growing up in Hawera. All those pool missions with the boys! I always laugh at the time we were throwing acorns at cars and one stopped and the guy got out to chase us. I boosted and you were wearing the latest Auckland fashion, untied shoelaces on your skate shoes and he almost caught you . Also remember the NBA games we played, you always had to be MJ and I was stuck playing as Scottie Pippen. It was great to reconnect in our later years, when I moved to Auckland. You were one of a kind, and will be missed. My condolences to the Norgate family.

I hope you’ve found peace my friend. You always were a good man with a kind heart. Your presence in this world was appreciated and you are loved.

Brother Dylan you one of the few that gave support to me, when I arrived in the rooms of NA and for a year we would pick you up & go to Mens NA on a Monday night. Rest easy mate & I send love to your family mate ♥️🙏

Dylan, RIP brother. I’m saddened by this bad news, you were a great man who was an entertainer at heart. I hope you are now at peace, with love and respect gewis

Dylan, hearing of your passing rocked me mate, I'm gutted. You were one of the first guys to welcome me as a friend when I arrived at KP back in 2002. I'll never forget going to see the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie with you and your family in Mission Bay, it was a big deal to me. You and your family were so welcoming. There are so many memories that could be shared but through them all it was obvious to all who knew you that you cared deeply for your family and friends. You were loyal, intelligent, competitive and hugely fun to be around. I'll always remember you as a man that had a ready smile, quick wit and bounds of talent. We were all privileged to have counted you as our friend. Rest now mate, you're loved and missed by us all.

Enjoyed our chats and remember you coming out on the boat.. May you know peace now brother. Felt your pain over the last few years 😞 sending goodness and love to your family and the ones that love you in this sad and confusing time..❤️

Dylan, gone too soon! the photo shows your spirit and your personality! thanks for the good times and memories, you were always a loving and caring mate! I enjoyed our times together and our talks about farming and life! you always made me laugh! may you rest in peace brother with ya Dad Much Live Bro!

You were a great friend to me Dylan. We spent a lot of time together. We just happened to go to the same school and year and be in mental health at the same time twice. I remember taking turns cooking a weekly roast and hanging out with the brc boys. I remember you got me into kumera chips. I always remember when I almost got king hit you helped me resolve the issue with the guy "no beef" and made me feel safe. You're a true friend and I'm going to miss you forever.

Dylan - you were always full of respekt and kindness. You had a rare combination of talent and sensitivity. You thought more deeply than most of us know how to. We will hold you close in our memories.

That photo of you smiling brings back gold memories of laughs we shared brother. Your laugh was infectious, and you had a heart of gold. I trust your mind is now peaceful and you will be missed by many. God bless.

Gone far too soon my brother. Will miss you immensely but take solace in the knowledge the battle is now over, and you are up there with your Dad in paradise. Rest easy mate.

Absolutely gutted to lose you. I’ll never forget all the great times we shared together over the years. You had so much life and it’s a tragedy yours has been cut short. I hope you’re in a better place and are at peace. Your friendship, spark and sense of humour will stay with me forever. My thoughts are with your family. See you on the other side

Very sad news to hear. I'll always remember your kindness and friendship, you had a heart of gold. Rest in peace mate.

Taken too soon my brother. Dylan and Craig were the two people that got me down to Taranaki to play rugby I will forever be great full for that opportunity. And I will forever cherish the memories that we spent in Selwyn together although it was only two years that I spent with him he was always good for a laugh. Rest easy my bro ❤️

Mate, gutted.. Life took us in different directions, but you were always a great friend to me. You’ll be sorely missed mate, love you brother

This was very sad news to hear. We haven’t really spoken for a long time, but 5 years together in Selwyn means that through our lives we shared a lot of memories together. We competed a lot, it was always the two of us trying to be the quicker sprinter and often the two of us trying to see who could be the bigger smartass to the older kids in the boarding house. You had a massive heart and were loyal to a fault. My heart goes out to your family.

Dylan, I hope your head is able to rest a little easier now. You were a great guy to talk with & debate who had the better rugby team. No doubt there will be plenty of rugby talk for you & Dad to catch up on. We already miss your smile & huge heart. Jane, Jordan & Alexandria we are thinking of you all and send our love. Dylan was a much loved, special young man.

Sounds crazy bro, but your support during my years inside is the whole reason why Paparazzi is on my tail now. If you never mentioned me and a rap career in the same sentence back in 2012, I wouldn't see the world for what it really is and I wouldn't have all the countless blessings I have now. Every fricking day I literally got paparazzi breathing down my neck!! like my shits finally ready for the world! it's craaaaaazy! So thank you bro bro! All this new found attention got me going bonkers 🤦🏾‍♂️I know I told you this but now I hope you understand just how much you've helped change my life, we came from opposite ends of the spectrum, but that didn't matter to you. I was your brother! Love you brother ♥️ TENSPEKT

So sad to hear this news. Glad to have met you Dyla, to hav heard your heart, you left your footprints in my journey. RiP brother. See you on the other side. ✌️💜🙏

Truely saddened by this news. Rest easy Dylan...much love to the Norgate family.

Heartbroken hearing this news. Thanks for all the laughs Dyl. You always marched to the beat of your own drum and approached everything in life fearlessly. Everyone who really knew you, knew that you had a huge heart and ultimately you always had good intentions. I'll never forget that intercept try you scored on debut for the Kings Prep First XV. Rest easy brother. Much love and condolences to Jane and the family.

Gonna miss you at HWA brother,and I'm gonna miss you humor an hugs. Rest easy. My deep condolences for your family xx

It is with a heavy heart that we write this message today. Dylan has left us much too early!! These comments from his final academic report at King’s College give an insight into the man he was: “ Dylan has been a loyal, supportive and committed member of Selwyn House. He certainly has enjoyed discussion and debate about a range of issues! He is a people-person, who enjoys socialising and has always displayed a pleasant and friendly disposition.” Rest peacefully Dylan, you will be sorely missed.

My ❤️ goes out to jane and her children and the rest of the family such sadness.you are at peace Dylan fly high with yr Dad.💖💗💞.Tracey @Steve Sabine.

Rest in peace my brother, now finally at rest. I will forever cherish the memories we shared together.

Dylan, I will always be grateful for the beautiful "graduation" speech you gave Jacob at Buchanan. He was devastated to hear this news. He felt you always had his back and he cared deeply about you. Rest in peace.

I hope you are free now dyl, fly high x

Dylan so heartbroken to know that you are gone. Rest in peace in the arms of our Lord who no doubt came running to greet you and take you home.

Fly high Dylan ❤️ love you always cuz. rest in paradise ❤️
