Their daughters are Maddie, Victoria (Tori) and Delaney, while their only son is named Trevin Scott Dilfer. The couple has shown over time just how much their kids mean to them, and it must have really hurt when their only son passed away at five years of age from a heart condition.

Trevin Scott Dilfer fought against the illness for 40 days; he was on life support the entire time.
