Candice Cooley, a resilient advocate for justice, was thrust into the depths of despair when her son, Dylan Rounds, vanished on May 28th, 2022. Tragically, Dylan's disappearance quickly turned into a harrowing homicide case, shattering the Rounds-Cooley family's world.

On April 9th, 2024, Dylan's remains were finally recovered, marking a somber resolution brought forth by a plea bargain with the suspect. Yet, amidst the anguish, Candice and her family resolved to transform their pain into purpose. Thus, Dylan's Legacy was born—a testament to love transcending tragedy.

Dylan's Legacy stands as a bastion of support, offering solace and guidance to those thrust into similar nightmares. With a steadfast commitment to education and empowerment, the organization delves into critical realms such as cell phone data analysis, K9 forensics, and public awareness. Recognizing the gaps in support for families navigating such horrors, Dylan's Legacy extends its reach to law enforcement, advocating for enhanced collaboration and resources.

Moreover, the legacy of Dylan Rounds echoes beyond individual tragedy. Candice and her team tirelessly lobby for legislative reforms aimed at bolstering public safety nationwide. Their efforts bore fruit with the passing of H.B. 308 by the State of Utah in February 2024—a poignant victory in a broader crusade for justice and prevention.
