Kyle Daniel Swanson

I was just thinking about Kyle this week and remembering funny stories from when he would come over to our house to hang out with my brother, Dave. I know he is still greatly missed and thought of with affection. My condolences to you, his family, as you remember Kyle.

I'm not sure why, but the universe told me to look for Kyle today, and I'm devastated to find the search has led to an obituary. As others have attested, Kyle was visionary when it came to matters of flight. Given large plastic bags, duct tape, and electric motors, he was an absolute magician, and I had the privilege of being his engineering classmate and friend at SDSU. I remember hanging out at his beach place, working long hours on our senior project, listening to Borracho y Loco while he...

my sister Tammy was very blessed to have such a wonderful man in her life. i am so very sorry we did not have a lifetime with Kyle. he loved my sister dearly and we all loved him for that.. i know there are sweet memories to cherish. thank you Kyle

Hey Kyle,

I remember the last time I saw you and we were skateboarding down New York Avenue with paper bags on our heads testing to see if the brain can perceive impending doom or the backs of cars without seeing anything.

I met Kyle in the 8th grade in band - we both played the same brand of trombone. I was a good trombonist but he was out of this world and I emulated him all the time, especially when we had big band numbers to play.

We also had drafting...

I met Kyle my sophmore year of high school at Crescenta Valley High. We were all band geeks then...he was a great guy and I have a lot of fond memories of Kyle and his brother Brian. My heart goes out to his family....God bless!

I met Kyle through Tammy when I first started working at 18. I loved working with Tammy and I knew that Kyle loved her so much. He was so funny and always had a smile on his face whenever I saw him. I will never forget is little car shows at his house and the trophys that he would have the kids make for the winners. In seeing this, I knew that he would be a great father. I was right. Tammy, my heart, thoughts and prayers go out to you at this very difficult time. Always know that Kyle...

I only know Kyle professionally through efforts surrounding the development and fielding of small unmanned aerial vehicles in the US Army. Having met him prior to 9/11 when the Pointer UAV was still considered an Army science project to the Raven, the most widely used UAV in the world, including all four branches of our military is such an extraordinary achievement. Kyle’s acumen in design, development, and production of the Raven SUAV is matched by few. I do know Kyle kept the best...

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. I didn't personally know Kyle, but I have seen what an impact he has made on others. May your memories bring you comfort.

We will miss you but we also know you are in a better place. You were the best manager and it was a pleasure working for you. We will miss seeing your smile and pleasant words.

From Jenny and Linda!!
