Dylan Hiner was born on September 18th 1999 in Lawernceburg, Indiana to Kevin and Donna Hiner. He had 1 brother Cameron Hiner and 2 sisters Natosha Hiner and Megan Hiner. Dylan moved to Knightstown, Indiana with his family in 2000 and lived there until his death May 4th 2017. He was a standout basketball player for Knightstown High School and was the star player as a sophomore. Dylan was loved by so many people and he touched so many kids in the community with his work effort. Although Dylan was a popular kid in school, he never took it for granite. He would go to the famed Hoosier Gym after school and play pick up games with whoever wanted to play.

He had 3 nephews, Ayden Hiner age 9, Bronson Hiner age 3, and Easton Smith age 2. All ages are at the time of Dylan's death. He loved his nephews, as he would pick Ayden up and take him to the gym to shoot ball, and he would play with Bronson and Easton at his house on an indoor Little Tikes goal. To say the least he was a great person with a heart of gold and was taken from the family far to soon.

Dylan's funeral was followed by a "Championship Ride to Glory" through town. Not only did it shut the town down for 30 minutes but it had the makings of a legend being taken to his final resting spot. The news channels from Indianapolis, the Indianapolis star, and many other local papers were in attendance as more than 160 cars followed the Police and Fire Trucks that were in front of the hearse. There were almost 1500 people (in a town of 2100) that came to the showing and just as many to the funeral. We can say the legend will never die.
