Kyle Evan Troxell

I knew Kyle @ UNC, when I dated a friend of his. He was a true gentleman, and I enjoyed his company. Although we lost touch after college, I remember him fondly. My sincere condolences to his family and friends, from Mary Ayers in Chapel Hill.

I´m so grateful to have met Kyle in high school as a new transplant just moved to town. He was welcoming, friendly, kind and open. Our friendship continued through overlapping college years and many mutual friends in Chapel Hill. I especially loved his smile and laugh; when I thought of Kyle over the intervening years, sunshine always came to mind. Just a shining light, a bright soul. Gone much too soon. Thank you Will for sharing my photographs of 16 year old Kyle with the unforgettable...

One more photo from high school.

I knew Kyle from our high school days and always enjoyed meeting up with Annie and him in the decades that followed. I valued his friendship and admired him as a warm generous soul who loved to share a laugh. I never heard him speak an unkind word. In times of grief for departed loved ones I've struggled to find consolation. This quote from Thornton Wilder was a comfort to me; may it be so to you: "There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival,...

While I was deeply saddened to hear of Kyle´s untimely death I found solace in reading about the loving and productive life he and Annie were so lucky to share. I hope the outpouring of love and support from all they have so graciously touched will provide comfort for Annie, Will and Chase during these difficult times.

Kyle was my pal through high school and the times we would see each other after those days, it was as if no time had passed at all. I very fondly remember our adventures often, and his laugh, his honesty, and his refusal to put up with injustice. We shared a lot and I will always cherish our friendship. Much love and peace to Annie and the family in this difficult time.
