Dylan Alan Wegner

Dylan Alan Wegner Age 27, of Butternut, died after a tragic accident on Saturday, July 18, 2020. He was born on March 1, 1993, in Woodruff, the son of Todd and Bonny (Bortz) Wegner. Dylan was a graduate of the Butternut High School and earned a Bachelor's Degree in Natural Resources Law Enforcement from the University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point. Although he was too humble to recognize it, Dylan had a great impact on his community as an Ashland County Deputy Sheriff and volunteer firefighter with the Butternut Fire Department. Dylan was willing to drop everything to help anyone in any way he could, even if it meant giving a little of himself. This was apparent throughout his whole lifetime, from little on, looking out for his older brother Jesse who has special needs. Dylan was a light in the lives of so many and the heart and soul of his family. He was the most humble, kind, hardworking, and light-hearted man, taken away too soon and will be dearly missed. Dylan was an avid hunter and fisherman and loved anything to do with getting his hands dirty, getting outdoors, and spending time with his friends and family. He was never one to ask for help and was very self-sufficient, being determined to get any job thrown at him done. Dylan often referred to himself as “a jack of all trades, master of nothing,” but anyone who knew him knows he was skillful in many ways. Not only was Dylan a great man, but a devoted father who loved being with Breanna and his son Easton. Dylan was to marry the love of his life, Breanna on August 8, 2020, promising to love her for better or for worse, until death do them part. He is survived by: his fiancée Breanna Hanson his son Easton his parents: Todd and Bonny Wegner his brother Jesse his sister Sujata maternal grandmother: Marion (Jim) Moccardine paternal grandfather Bill Wegner his niece Annaliese his future mother and father-in-law Terry and Michelle Hanson future brother and sister-in-law Brooklyn Hanson and Brad Hanson and many aunts, uncles, and other relatives and friends.
