Dylan Ashe, 18, of Warman passed away last weekend as a result of a single-vehicle rollover near Whitefox, Saskatchewan.
Ashe played last season with the Melfort Mustangs of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. During the 2018-19 season, he won a bronze medal at the Telus Cup with the Tisdale Trojans of the provincial U18AAA hockey league. He was also a prospect for the WHL’s Lethbridge Hurricanes.
He was a standout defenseman with both the Sask Valley Vipers U15AA team in the 2016-17 season and with the Warman Wildcats U18AA team in the 2017-18 season.
Ashe’s mother Della Headon Ashe posted on facebook on Sunday, September 20:
“This is the hardest and most heartbreaking post I have ever had to make. Dylan was driving back to the lake last night and rolled the car. He didn’t make it out of the accident alive. I can honestly say I’m numb, and my heart literally feels broken. He was the most easy-going, fun loving, and never in a rush for anything type of guy. He loved his family and truck. Oh that truck, boy did he work hard on it. My favourite thing was when he would come home and go directly to each of us and give us a big hug. He was making his last trip out to the lake and then heading home here for a couple days before taking off to Melfort for his second season with the Mustangs. He was looking forward to seeing all his hockey buddies. I am comforted knowing he was doing everything he loved to do, but unfortunately never fulfilled his dreams here, and now he will always be in my dreams. I can’t believe your life was so short. Please watch over us. I love you so, so, so much.”
