I had the great honor of working alongside Kyle for the past three years at Stan Dixon's office. I would look forward to chatting with Kyle every morning. Kyle was always the first to ask about my weekend or evening plans from the night before, always the first to lend a helping hand, always the first to make me feel warm and welcomed in any situation or any event, and always able to share the right story at just the right time, just when I needed it. Kyle was so thoughtful and so kind. He will be missed tremendously by all of us at Stan's office.

I'm sorry to hear about the passing of Kyle Taylor, who was a younger fraternity brother of mine. I recall that he exemplified many of the characteristics of a servant leader, namely being friendly and approachable, demonstrating empathy and respect to others and their opinions, and carefully considering the greater good when making decisions. I am proud to call him a brother, and wish to share my sincerest condolences to his friends and family. The world shines a little less brightly without Kyle in it.

I knew Kyle from Georgia Tech and cannot say enough kind words about him. He was a good friend and dedicated student. His passion for architecture was obvious and infectious. Most of all, Kyle was incredibly kind. He had a huge heart which he freely shared with everyone. I was a few years older than Kyle, but I immediately liked him. We grew up in similar towns and shared similar childhoods. During our time at Tech, I always thought of him as a younger brother. Hearing of his passing is difficult, and I am deeply saddened for his family and loved ones. To them, I offer my sincerest condolences. Please know that Kyle will be greatly missed.

My interactions with Kyle as a classmate were always very friendly and positive, and they left a lasting impression on me of a enthusiastic designer with tons of talent and intellect to offer his profession and the world.

I only met Kyle once at Norman Askins Office where I work with Geoffrey and Daniel who knew him from Notre Dame, when he came by for an interview, but I do remember in that short time he made a great impression on all of us that he was not only gifted in architecture but he was also a very nice gentleman with a humble spirit.

Larry and I thought the world of Kyle. Ted would take Kyle and Andrew for an adventure at times. Andrew always had a great time with them. Kyle would come over to house and Andrew would go to their house. Kyle was such a well mannered young man. I have not seen Kyle in a long time. However, I kept up with him through Andrew. Our hearts break for you. God will give you and your family the strength to walk through these days.
