I just found out about Kyle. I am so sorry for your loss! I knew kyle from the 6th grade at age 11 all the way through high school. He was so young. I wanted to post it up on my fb, because i know there are a lot of people that didnt even know how long he battled, or that he had even passed! RIP you will always be remembered!
