According to a recent release, Morley Stanwood High School will be hosting the funeral for Dylan Marek on Friday, Oct. 10.

Marek, a Morley Stanwood graduate in the spring of 2025, was killed in a car crash along Northland Drive on Wednesday, Oct. 1. 

"In the past week since Dylan Marek passed away, we have seen a remarkable turn out of support and love for him and his family," Superintendent Roger Cole recently said in a statement. "I expected no less from our community. In similar fashion, Morley Stanwood Schools will do its part to support and love them as well."

The funeral is scheduled for 2 p.m. and will be held in the high school gymnasium. The middle and high school will also be dismissed early at 12:15 p.m. on Friday. There will also be no athletic practices that afternoon and students will be required to leave the school upon dismissal.

"Our community does not have a venue large enough to accommodate the number of people who will attend Dylan's funeral," Cole said. "We have offered our high school gymnasium for the funeral. In order to do so, we will be cancelling school for the afternoon (on) Friday."

Marek was 17 years old. To read his full obituary, visit here: DYLAN MAREK OBITUARY.
