I’m so heartbroken to hear of Kyle’s passing. He was a good friend and mentor. I enjoyed talking to him almost every morning at Mile’s Willard. Hugs and prayers Joyce.

Kyle will always be remembered as a kind and helpful person. We have known Kyle for years. We were in the same Wards for many years until all the growth in Rigby happened. We went on horse back rides with both him and Joyce and had a great time. Several of our children are the same age and spent time doing church activities together. We give our love and sympathy to Joyce and her family. So sorry for your loss.

I knew Kyle as a kind, creative and resourceful engineer, who could come up with unique ways of addressing equipment designs and breakdowns. We worked together for 35 years at Miles Willard Technologies, and even share a design patent, one of many that he helped create. But his love and care for his family was his first priority. May they each be wrapped in the comforting arms of the Lord. We’ll miss you Kyle.
