Not sure what to say?

Such a bright, kind, generous, and happy man. So many good memories! Among my favorites was when he and Bernadette hosted Jim, Kiyomi, Malia, and Koa for a few days at the Creeks.

Celebrate Kyle home. He can hear and is not hurting. love never dies and memories never fade. He was my friend and a great man, he put up with my best friend for many years.

I was lucky enough to know Kyle for 15 years as my stepfather-in-law, and I´ve never met a more generous man. I have the fondest memories of him teaching this city girl how to fish, drive a four-wheeler, take care of horses, and use a bush hog to clear land. He had the kindest Southern manners, he watched a lot of sports with us over the years, and he was close with our dog, Otis, who also lived a long life.

I worked for Jim Gilliland for many years--he was Kyle's attorney. Kyle was a gracious Southern gentleman who had great wit, grace, style, and a kind heart. He was a fine man and will be missed by many.

Kyle. It was my pleasure to know u as well as serve as your go to guy at Mercedes. I´ll miss chatting with u in the mornings u would visit getting car washed.

We enjoyed so much sitting with Kyle and Bernadette at the Memphis games. He was a great man that was full of life. We talked basketball strategy and other life lessons. He was always checking in on our family and our business. He was not only a business success, but just an overall great guy. We will miss him.

We´ve been neighbors with Kyle and Bernadette for over 14 years. Lovely folks and I´ll miss my occasional chats with Kyle. Such a great guy! Please accept our condolences Henry and Kelly Wetter

This was a great man that I met working at Mercedes Benz of Memphis. We used to shoot the breeze for a couple hours until he get ready to golf. Love every second of his funny jokes and him giving me education on finance. He will be missed. Love him dearly..

Love you, Kyle. So many fond memories from the past 17 years, especially from the Creeks and our South Dakota trip. You were a wonderful, kind person, and you will be missed by many.
