So sad to hear of Kyle's passing - way after the fact. He was a buddy I hadn't seen in a few years. He "housed" me when I commuted to PSU and I cared for his dog in exchange. I've missed him and in trying to locate him I found his obit. I'm grateful for the times we shared and for the gifts he offered others and the church. Peace, my friend, deep peace.

I know you are singing with the Angels, I remember in high school when we sang in a quartet. I am sorry that we did not stay in closer contact. You are truly a man of GOD, from your cousin Bobby McRill aka Joy.

So sorry to find out through Kyle's cousin that he had died. I tried to call him in December with no response and recently tried again. He was a good friend.

There is so much more that could be written about Kyle...he was my friend in the Episcopal Diocese and within the Radical Faeries of Portland. He was a writer, an excellent cook and entertainer, a punster and joke-teller, and a very good friend.
