During the eight years that we have lived on Three Wood Drive, we have watched Kyle grow from a boy to a man. Words cannot describe our sorrow. Cindy Shaul

Lori, I'm so sorry for your loss. I was so sad for you & your family when I found out and I'm hurting for you. There has been way too much tragedy on Three Wood Dr- my dad also passed this past week on 11/9/10, so I'm grieving now as well. It's so hard and it's indescribable unless you've been through it. If you need to talk or cry or whatever, I will be at my parents house for a while with mom. You know where we live. Sometimes it's just good to talk. I hope God is giving you peace.
Love, Kristin Clark Collister

Dear Mrs. Cheri, I am at all to even hear what has happened. I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through right now. I am sad that he was taken away from you and your family so soon in his young life. Just know that you have a angel looking after you until you meet him again. Much love, The Hurt Family

Kyle was such a prankster at work, he loved to find ways to prank me! I never knew what to expect the next day when I came back to work,( he had a lot of creative ideas)He always found ways to compliment me and to make me laugh to make me feel better even when I wasnt having a good day. I would always ask him "ok what are you trying to get a deal on today?" lol. He became part of our family at the pawnshop, and I am grateful to had the laughter and the pleasure of having him in my life. I will always remember him for his special qualities and how hard his efforts paid off at work, all I have to do is look around the store and see all he had accomplished not only physically but most of all emotionally not only to his co workers but to his customers and myself. Sherri you raised an awesome son whom we love very much! our prayers are with you. We love you Kyle!

For Bereaved Friends

In thy wisdom, whose ways are past finding out, Thou has appointed our dear ones unto tears. Thou hast called them into sorrow’s Gesthemane, where great loneliness and anguish wring their hearts. Grant, Father, that they may meet Jesus there. This is all that we can pray. Our blundering lips cannot comfort them and our blind eyes cannot discern the purpose of Thy providence. But, O Father of love, draw these sorrowing ones close to Thyself in the person of the sympathetic Saviour. Through their tears may they see Jesus. There is no comfort but in Thee, O God Triune; may all who weep find Thee. Be Thou companionship for their perplexity, strength for their weakness and courage for their new life of bereavement. Show them that all Thy plans for Thy children include two worlds. Reveal unto them the tenderness and humaneness of Thy sympathy; comfort them as those whom a mother comforts. This we ask in the name of the Saviour Who sorrowed and wept. Amen.

I would take nothing away from the grief you feel today. I would not say to you that everything is all right. Because it's not and you know it. You hurt. And we know you will hurt for a long time. God made us so that we can have relationships with one another and when that relationship is lost we feel pain. You have lost a loved one - and it hurts. Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow Hold tight to memories for comfort,lean on your friends for strength,and always remember how much you are cared about.Your life was full of loving deeds, Forever thoughtful of our special needs,Today and tomorrow, my whole life through, I will always love and cherish you You left us so suddenly, your thoughts unknown,
You left us memories, we are proud to own Those who loved can truly tell, the heartache of parting without farewell Gone yet not forgotten,
although we are apart,your spirit lives within me,forever in my heart.
Until we meet again, may God Hold you in the palm of his hand.Those we love don't go away,They walk beside us every day,Unseen, unheard, but always near,Still loved, still missed and very dear.In God's care you rest above, in our hearts you rest with love,Memories of you are ours to keep,
Our words are few but our love is deep.
If you every need a friend just call..

We met Kyle in the hall of his UNCG dorm, which was on the same floor as our daughter Holly's. He was the most polite and friendly young man we've ever met. He and Holly became great friends and have shared a lot of good times together. He was always there for her during that first difficult year of college for which we will always be grateful. He had an outgoing personality and friendliness that you just don't see every day. He is already greatly missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his parents and siblings and his best girl, Whitney.
