Kyle O'Dowd Obituary

"It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kyle O'Dowd, who passed away on 9 June at the age of 28. Born in San Diego, CA on 2 January 1997, Kyle O'Dowd was the beloved son of Tom and Kitty O'Dowd and cherished member of Heritage Community Church and his community. Having grown up in the church with many of his friendships made there, he was known for his incredible sense of humor and fearlessness in life. A competitive and talented swimmer, he was a valued teammate. He also enjoyed paintball and airsoft, making friends very easily everywhere he went. Kyle truly enjoyed his trade operating warehouse equipment and was considered a trusted and reliable workmate. He is survived by his parents and many aunts and uncles and cousins spanning from east to west coast. A memorial service was held at Heritage Community Church, located at 8146 Quarterfield Rd, Severn, MD 21144 on 23 June, at 2:00 P.M."
