Dylan Eugene Neubauer

Dylan Eugene Neubauer, age 22, of Bend, Oregon, passed away unexpectedly on July 3, 2026. He was born on November 4, 2003, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the first son of Mark and Amelia Neubauer. Dylan (affectionately known as Dyl Pickle) was a bold, intrepid young man with an undeniable charisma. He had the kind of presence that changed the energy of a room the moment he walked in. He found joy and solace in the outdoors, whether he was skiing, backpacking, out on the water, or camping under the stars. He loved to travel, and was endlessly curious about the world, drawn to geopolitics and theology not just as abstract subjects but as tools for making sense of a complicated world. He carried that same curiosity and depth into his love for Music. Dylan was a natural musician. He played piano, jazz drums, and guitar growing up, and had an ear and appreciation for every instrument and genre of music. For Dylan, music wasn't just background noise; it was a way of understanding and empathizing with people, and he was never more himself when he was sharing it with someone else. Dylan had recently moved to the Boise, Idaho area, to pursue a career in CNC manufacturing where his drive and love for learning resulted in a recent graduation from College of Western Idaho and landed him his first career job. More than anything, Dylan enjoyed being around the people he loved. He lit up when connecting with family and friends, and he adored the family pets (Rio, Max, Sailor, and Thunder) with the same open-hearted warmth he gave everyone. Underneath his high energy and spontaneity, Dylan was a sensitive soul — a complexity that even the people closest to him were still learning to fully understand. His neurodiversity was sometimes misunderstood by people who didn't take the time to really get to know and understand him. But, for those of us who knew him well, we were changed by it. He made every one of us a better, more patient, and more understanding person — he gave us a unique strength and a depth most people never get the privilege of building. He is survived by his parents, Mark and Amelia Neubauer, his brother Quentin Neubauer, his sister Azure Neubauer, his two grandmothers, Mary Neubauer and Jourdan Cuadra, and many uncles, aunts, cousins, and close family friends. A funeral service will be held on July 24th at St. Francis Historic Church, beginning with a visitation from 8:30 to 9:30, followed by a rosary service and funeral mass -- St Francis Historic Church located at - 599 NW Lava Rd, Bend, OR 97703. A burial service will follow at the beautiful Terrebonne Pioneer Cemetery located at - 1340 NE Smith Rock Way, Terrebonne OR 97760. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to HeadsUpGuys, or Hip Hop Public Health, in memory of Dylan. Dylan was an extraordinary son, brother, and friend, loved by so many. He will forever be present in our hearts and we pray his soul rests in peace. We love you, Dylan! Niswonger-Reynolds Funeral Home was honored to handle the arrangements.
