Kyle was a friend and colleague at Saint Joe's. You can always tell when a person loves life, and with Kyle is was always obvious. We miss him. Deepest condolences to his wife and sons. I am sure that if they are anything like Kyle, they must be great kids.

Knowing Kyle's sons Colin and Cole, I didn't need to read the obituary to guess that Kyle was an exceptional man. With Michele's guidance his 5 boys will be his living legacies. May your faith be a source of strength.
