John Dyllon Schofield Lobell

John “Dyllon” Lobell, 24, of Prairieville, La. passed away on Friday, July 27, 2018. A celebration of Dyllon’s life will be held at Ourso Funeral Home, Gonzales, La. on Saturday, August 4th, 2018. The family will receive visitors from 11 a.m. to 1 pm, with services following immediately. Dyllon was born August 30th, 1993 in Baton Rouge. He attended RPCC where he studied Welding, he later went on to work at Welding Testing Laboratory. Dyllon shared a very special relationship with his brother’s, Shane and Noah, so much so that together the three chose to forever be reminded that, “I am My Brother’s Keeper”. Few people went without hearing him speak so proudly of both of his brother’s. The three boy’s together seldomly allowed any dull moments; ding-dong ditching, piles of plywood, truth or dare, or which one could choke the other out, all in fun for them. With every story they told of their brotherly, bonding adventures they left their Mom with a few more gray hairs.

For those that truly knew Dyllon and his dad, they knew that both of them always had very tall tales to tell and it was expected that they would tell them regardless of who was around. For Robbie, Kala and Teal it was always expected that when Dyllon and his dad were together it was like a three ring circus, with crazy stories and many laughs, but no doubt a much needed vacation for the three of them after listening to it all.

Dyllon’s deep love for the Lord began when his PawPaw and Noonie took him to their church on numerous occasions as a little boy. It was because of that he chose for himself, as a teen, to be baptized at Lone Star Cowboy Church in Montgomery, TX. He had a great love for the Lord and a passion for serving others, it’s often said that “he’d give the shirt off his back” and he would, literally, do just that if need be. If you were stranded on the side of the road you never had to worry about being stuck there long if he was in the area, whether he knew you or not he was going to stop and lend a hand.

Dyllon shared a very special relationship with his Nannie, a relationship filled with lots of love, many pranks, road trips, hours of home remodeling on You tube and singing and dancing to Red Solo Cup.

He shared a loving relationship with his Granny, memories of times spent at her home in the country playing outside for hours, drinking from the water hose and obsessing over her “huge” t.v. when he was a young boy.

Dyllon was a proud Uncle to Kyla and Addison Smith. He went out of his way to make sure they knew by putting all rules aside so they could enjoy games of dodge ball throughout his house when they went to visit. Always leaving his sister shaking her head because she knew he wasn’t going to listen to her if she told him they couldn’t be doing that in the house. Dyllon may have been the younger of he and his sister but he never hesitated to try and boss her around, often being successful at it.

Dyllon and I (his mom) had a unique relationship, one that most moms would give anything to have. We were not only Momma and son, we were the best of friends, even on the days he was driving me crazy with his pranks. I’m so lucky that he was never ashamed to let anyone know that he was a “Momma’s boy and proud of it”, rare for young men his age. Dyllon made me a mother on earth for 24 years but his mother for as long as I live. He taught me what it meant to love unconditionally and be loved unconditionally. My life is forever changed because God chose ME to be his Mom forever. Dyllon was blessed with his bonus Dad(Marty). The two spent many nights watching dirt track racing and even more nights practicing hours of baseball, he believed with all that practice he would one day play professionally. Dyllon was 11 years old when he was honored by Pres. George H. W. Bush as “Sibling of the Year” for his efforts in supporting his brother, Noah and other children battling cancer. When it came to his extra-curricular activities he loved most anything daring; bull-riding, BMX and mudding just to name a few. He loved to do landscaping work and in the last few years had developed a love of cooking the end results of his efforts always making him proud.

Not only was he a loving son, grandson, brother and uncle, he was a defender, protector, caretaker and loving friend. Someone that everyone could be proud to say they knew. Dyllon is survived by his mother, Angela Ard Wright, his father, Schofield Lobell III (Robbie), grandparent’s Schofield and Sonya Lobell, Nannie; Jo Ann Barlow Kimmel, Granny; Yvonne Ard Burkes, brothers Shane Trevor Ard & Noah Paul Ard, sister Kala Lobell Smith (Teal), nieces; Kyla and Addison Smith, bonus Dad; Marty Ard, bonus siblings; Kaylee, Maci, Destiny and Chase Wright. He is preceded in death by his, Grandmother; Marilyn Lobell, Great-Grandmother; Victorine “Gicki” Barlow, Great-Grandfather; Jesse Barlow, Step-Father; Stephen Joseph Wright, special friend; Erica Jazz Hymel.

My physical time with you is over now, so “Dyl” put those hands that I held for 24 years in Gods hands until I can hold them again. Tell God, ‘Thank you’ for me and tell him how grateful, lucky and privileged I feel that he chose me to be your mom and I hope I made him proud. I promise I will help guide those who you left behind until we are called up to be with you. I hold you with my whole entire heart. I know in my heart that Dyllon would not want us to grieve for too long. Instead, he would want us all to remember the good times we all shared with him.
