Lyle KAHL Obituary

It is with sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Lyle Benjamin James Kahl, at the age of 80, in Victoria, BC.

Lyle was born in SK where he met his future wife Donna. They moved to Edmonton to raise their family while Lyle went to the UofA to earn a degree in Education. The family came to Victoria in 1971. Dad excelled at everything he did in life, as a teacher, a motel owner, an MLA, a small business owner, a master gardener, and a realtor. All things he did with a strong work ethic, kindness and compassion for others. He leaves behind Donna, his loving wife of almost 60 years, who he met when they were children, Nikkii (Tom), Jackie (Greg), Jason, Chris, and his grandchildren Kathleen, Stewart, Graham, Brandon and Fraser.

Lyle lived a life to be proud of. Rest well Dad, you will always be our hero.

I feel lucky to be left with so many memories of being around Lyle. He taught me a lot during the three real estate transactions we were involved in. Who can sell 72 acres in a municipality that says 'no' to everything, during a recession? Only Lyle Kahl. He became a valued friend, found my current home for me and of course, negotiated a deal that I was (almost) embarrassed to enjoy. Many late night phone calls to arrange the sale of the mountain over the course of many months, usually to make sure my folks weren't worried about anything, he'd rather put it on me. That's an example of the heart he had, looking out for people first, while still getting the business done. When my own dad passed, a former coworker of his told me that he was a great man. I knew that, but it had strong impact, hearing it from someone outside of the family. So to the Kahl family, my sincere condolences. I loved the guy. Lyle Kahl was indeed, a great man.

I remember Lyle when he and Donna owned and ran the Motel on the Colwood crawl back in the early 70's, then he enter politics becoming the new Social Credit MLA for Esquimalt. Fond memories indeed. Heartfelt condolences to Donna and family

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Lyle. He was a true community leader and friend to our family. Always a kind word or advise on property he would share when we would bump into him. We will miss him and hope that your entire family is safe and well. Take care. The Saunders Family
