Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Dylan Christopher Chambers, age 31, passed away peacefully, with his mother and stepfather by his side, on Monday, October 3rd, 2022, at Emory University Hospital, Atlanta, GA. Dylan was born on February 10th, 1991, at UPMC Magee Women’s Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA. Dylan graduated from Maryville High School and East Tennessee State University with a degree in Mass Communications, Marketing, and Public Relations. He was a member of First Broad Street United Methodist Church and more recently attended Buckhead Church. Dylan was a proud member of Kappa Sigma Fraternity.
Dylan loved traveling the world, aviation, flying, politics, and the Pittsburgh Steelers and Penguins. Dylan was truly an outstanding and sought-after communicator. During college he was a member of the ETSU Major Event/Concert Committee, in which he loved being a part of bringing in major artists. He treasured his study abroad time in Dubai, and especially enjoyed being an intern for US Senator Bob Corker. Dylan had many friends, never met a stranger, and was the most charismatic person in any room. He was a devoted and loving son, brother, grandson, uncle and friend. Dylan was a giving person – kind, caring, compassionate, fun to be around, and will be missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his loving and devoted parents, Vanessa Dawn Moore and Stephen Bramble and Darell and Stella Chambers; his brother Derek (Erin) Chambers; his maternal grandparents, Ginger Roberts McKenzie and Bill (Kathy) Moore; niece, Emeri Chambers and bonus niece and nephews, Lexi, Isaiah and Noah DeBusk; aunts, Patty Moore, Lisa Chambers and Cheryl (Brian) Waugh; bonus siblings, Scott (Angela) Garlock and Christie (Eddie) Jones and their children. He is also survived by cousins, great aunts and uncles, numerous close friends, and his beloved pets, Grey Sloan the pug and Bailey the chiweenie.
Dylan was also preceded in death by his uncle, Kirby Moore; grandparents, Marilyn Macpherson and Dean Chambers; and bonus grandfather, Jerry McKenzie.
There will be a celebration of life at a future date.

I only knew Dylan for a brief time, but he was a talented, caring, and creative force. I was originally going to say I only knew him for a brief time “professionally”, but with Dylan, everyone was a friend; if it was business or anything else, it was a personal connection for him. He will be missed, and you have my and my family’s deepest condolences.
Sam Cole says
Hi Vanessa, I went to ETSU with Dylan, and pledged Kappa Sigma with him. He was a great friend through college and a pleasure to be around. He was an amazing guy and extremely intelligent. We lost contact after graduating but kept up through social media. I loved seeing his journey and it looked like he had found what made him happy. I will be praying for you and the family. To Dylan – AEKDB. Love you Brother!
Samara Bolling says
I met Dylan at ETSU, then got to know him through the Young Professionals of the Tri-Cities. I was instantly impressed with him. When he volunteered, he gave his all. He was a master communicator, which I respected and admired. And of course, his laugh was infectious. Everyone who met him loved him. Sending condolences to the family. The world is dimmer without him in it.
Britney says
Dylan and I worked together at GGC, and I am very sad to hear the news of his passing. Dylan was an incredibly talented marketer, but more than that he was a very kind, thoughtful, caring person. His presence brought joy to every interaction with him. And it was clear that he cared deeply about the people and relationships behind the work, even sending out holiday cards to the team. My sincerest condolences to you and your family. Dylan will be greatly missed.
Cheri Bedwell says

I worked with Dylan as his agency partner when he was at GDS Link and just loved his enthusiasm and spirit of collaboration. What a wonderful man he was. I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s just unimaginable.

Donna Booher says
To Dylan’s family, I knew Dylan from MHS where I was an interim health science teacher. Only being there for one semester, I didn’t know Dylan’s well, but remember his exuberance, friendliness and ability to be friends with many. I really enjoyed having him in my class. He was a gifted person. My heart aches for you all. I am so sorry for your loss.

OMG… you have my deepest condolences. We previously worked at the same company. He kept me laughing. He was always so positive and funny. He printed out a funny flyer and I still have it posted on my wall. I wish him peace and they family my condolences and prayers.
Thanks,

Cyndi says
Dylan and I worked together at GGC. He was always so organized and easy to work with. Whenever we talked he would put a smile on my face with his kindness. We only had one issue; I’m a Cleveland Browns fan and of course he was a Pittsburgh Steelers fan. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this most difficult time.
Camille Stewart says
Dear Vanessa and Family,
I worked with Dylan at GDS and although I was remote, we worked very closely. He was kind, dedicated, talented and a friend to all he met. He had an uncanny way of knowing when someone needed to be lifted up or needed just a small word of encouragement. Hopefully I was able to provide the same for Dylan. He is greatly missed and I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much he loved his family and his dog. He was an old soul and such wonderful young man. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all and for Dylan. He will always be with us.
Shannon says
Dylan and I worked together at GGC. He was one of the kindest, funniest and genuine souls I have ever met. I will truly miss our 10 min work catch up chats that turned into an hour of talking about life, our dogs and just anything in general. I am so sorry for your loss. Sending thoughts and prayers to his family.
Gena L Kizer says
My dear Vanessa and family,
I was blessed to have known Dylan both as a colleague and a good friend. He and my son are the same age, so I always watched over him since he didn’t have family here in Texas. We spent many days/nights chatting about work, life and everything in between. His optimistic outlook on life was a breath of fresh air, especially when life was stressful. He always reminded me how special and beautiful I was on the inside and out, and even on his darkest days, his concern was to lift me up. He was my friend and I miss him so much. He will always be in my heart as will you.
My heart will carry a piece of him in it forever.
All my love, strength and prayers.
Laura Schreiber says
Words cannot describe how sad I am to hear of Dylan’s passing. He was a kind soul to everyone who knew him and loved by many. He had kept his faith in so many different ways and it was always a joy to talk to him. I will never forget him, his kind voice, the love of the pups and his determination. I send my sincerest condolences to all who knew him and his family.
