With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Dylan Richard Skirko, who left us too soon on March 23, 2025. Born on February 4, 1989, Dylan lived a life full of adventure, kindness, and devotion to those he loved.
A proud resident of Anchorage, Alaska, Dylan was a skilled and passionate bush pilot, guiding others through the vast and rugged beauty of the Last Frontier. As a grizzly bear tour guide, he had an unmatched respect for nature and took great joy in sharing Alaska’s wild wonders with others. A veteran, Dylan served his country with honor, carrying the same courage and dedication into every aspect of his life.
Beyond his adventurous spirit, Dylan was known for his immense kindness and generosity. His love for his family and friends was boundless, and he had a way of making everyone feel valued and seen. Whether soaring through the skies or catching waves in the ocean, Dylan lived with passion and purpose, embracing life’s moments with a fearless heart.
Dylan is survived by his loving mother, Joanne Corso; his devoted father, Richard Skirko; and his younger sisters, Shelby, Gabrielle, and Samantha Corso. His memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
A celebration of Dylan’s life will be held on April 19, 2025 (location TBD), with an option to join virtually for those unable to attend in person. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations to organizations supporting veterans and wildlife conservation, two causes close to Dylan’s heart.
Fly high, Dylan. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
