Dear Linda, Justin and Family,
There are no words that come close to adequate, but know that those of us who taught at South Range School, are holding you in our hearts today. In his untimely passing, Kyle, the future doctor, has certainly put a spotlight on Type I diabetes.

Butler family,
I am so incredibly heartbroken and my love and thoughts are with you and am so sad I can't make it to the memorial. Kyle helped me get to where I am today through his unwavering support as a friend and sound advice as a peer - I was so excited for us to start our journey through med school together - the world is better because of Kyle.
All my love and thoughts,
Sam
