Donate to Dylans Recovery from The Apollo Roof Collapse, organized by Abbey Rhodes (original) (raw)

My brother, Dylan Crone, went out with coworkers to see Morbid Angels. He goes to shows more often then any person I know and usually stands in the back, this time he stood at the front. The roof caved in at The Apollo in Belvidere landing on him & his 3 coworkers leaving them all in absolutely terrible conditions. Dylan has staples & stitches all over his face and head, 4 ribs fractures in several places each, 4 separate vertebrae in his lower back are fractured along with on if his scapula, & a minor hole in one of his lungs and is looking at a long road for recovery needing physical therapy including missing work for an unknown amount of time at the moment.

Dylan is known for being a smart ass & standing over everyone in every room he’s in like the oak tree he was built as. He’s hard headed with a heart of gold. He’s been there for me countless times when I’ve been struggling. He’s my best friend & I’m still trying to understand how we got so lucky he’s still here. He’d do anything for anyone including putting on a brave face despite all this going on. He could use all the help he could get including just support by reminding him how much love we have for him for the annoying oversized nerd he is.

Understandably, while still processing what has happened to him, Dylan doesnt wish to share any current pictures of himself due to the severity of it all.
