Hello Kyle, extended family, & friends;
I'm taking this opportunity to let you know that during the past year, I have so many times on anniversaries of events and occasions we would all have shared with and among each other, seen and felt you jump right back to the front of my mind, your contagious smile, and your daunting enthusiasm and zeal for your life and love of Sandi, Elisabeth, Auntie Rae, Garth and Sherrie, bringing that Love back to us and Our family every time. Lil things through the year show me we are healing, Evan if still far from over your God ,untimely passing. This AM I posted a message that I'm sure you got but was swallowed up by my clumsiness on this P. C format. Know this, All you left behind are richer and in good hands in part and due to the time that you spent with us sharing all you are . There's a lot of real good people here that think of you in some way every day. I think that is our tangible part of heaven. Kyle, my cousin, my son, my brother, my friend, you know how I feel cause you are sitting here with me right now. Always with love, Jimmy AKA HamBonz - - P S would you believe 250 million for two Barry's in Giant uniforms???

Happy New Year's a few days early Kyle. Wow, can't believe it has been almost one year since you left on your new journey. You are missed by everyone. I try to stay in touch with Sandi, but I cry everytime we talk and I know that makes things harder for her. She is strong Kyle, but that girl of yours misses you more than ever. I can't begin to imagine what she has had to go through this past year. I pray for her and Lizzie every night. Well my friend have a safe New Year and be good !!!! Until we meet again..........
Love and prayers always, Denise

A smile costs nothing
but gives so much.
It enriches those who receive
without making poorer
those who give.
It takes but a moment,
but the memory of it
sometimes lasts forever.
None is so rich or mighty
that he cannot get along without it
and none is so poor
that he cannot be made rich by it.
Yet a smile cannot be bought,
begged, borrowed, or stolen,
for it is something
that is of no value to anyone
until it is given away.
Some people are too tired
to give you a smile.
Give them one of yours,
as none needs a smile so much
as he who has no more to give.
~Author Unknown~
Our smiles are still going on for you Kyle.
When I think of how you were so much a part of our life. Hope your father and Jerry are with you. Love is still in my heart for you.

Dear Kyle:
My Soul mate and Best Friend. Almost 1 year has gone by since that sad day you were taken so suddenly however I know your soul is in heaven and your spirit is here and you are watching over us. The fact that we cannot see or touch you is heartbreaking.
Lizzie is doing well. She continues to keep her status as a Honor Roll student,awesone Soccer and Volleyball Player and Junior Raiderette. Raider/Denver game she knew you were there cheering for her like you always do. The smile on her face showed how proud she is of you being her father.
Thank you for your Love, Honesty and just for being YOU!.
Kyle you are far the best husband and father anyone could ever imagine. Someday we will all be together in Heaven. What a party that will be.
Until then We love you so very much.
Your Wife Sandi and Daughter Elizabeth (God Bless You Kyle)

As I look back over the years, I realize that Kyle had the world by the tail, and was really enjoying the ride. The times that I am reflecting on in my memories include countless A's games, bottle rocket fights with his neighbors on the 4th of July. Hangin with Garth,Kyle,Tommy,Robert,Kincaid. One particular trip as teenagers to Seal Beach,Los Angeles,Top Floor of the Marriot on a visit to Disneyland, San Diego & Mission Beach. All doing nothing but the kind of fun you can't tell your parents about. Yeah, he had the world by the tail. And in a way, we all do just by Kyle being in all of our lives. But now as a responsible father of 3, I forgot how much of my adolescent life was spent with the 2 best cousins I've ever had. Because I've been to busy letting life & my profession drive me to be anchored, and complacent. As I find myself questioning the unanswered reasons of why, I know now & will always that life is short, and that I will be more proactive in staying in touch with my family. God love you Sandy,Elizebeth,Garth,Sheri,Aunt Rae. Because I KNOW THAT I DO!
GODS SPEED KYLE, I love you like the big brother I didn't have, THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO GARTH!

The absolute best memories of my life include all the times I spent with my beloved cousins Garth and Kyle, too many to list here, but all clearly stand out in my memory, and there they will always remain along with, and included the greatest family memories with uncle paul, ju ju uncle mike and the rest of this great family , those here and gone, but never forgotten! I love you Garth, Sandi, Lizzy, aunt Rae and Sheri! Thank God for this family and thank God we have eachother!!!! Peace to all of you, all of us! BILL HILL

As a former work associate of Kyle's, I am truly saddened to hear about his passing. Kyle would always take me to an A's game when I visited Oakland and went out of his way to provide hospitality. I came to know Kyle as a sports fan, but more importantly, as a family man.

I wish to express my sincere condolences to the whole Krause family. To the man that left me more memories than "you can shake a stick at," who would laugh in stride with me when we were "singing from the same sheet of music," who was honest "like a day is long" and to say he loved a his family more than anything, well, that is about as obvious as "falling off a log." Kyle had the best lines and told the best stories. I know he is up in heaven making the Saints crack up. Kyle I will miss you dearly, just make sure you got a cold one for me when I join ya! Rest in peace my friend, rest in peace!

Old Coyote’s muzzle is turning white, and his steps are slow. He spends most of his time basking in the sun and remembering. Chasing rabbits, raising pups with Mrs. Coyote, gathering with his friends on the mountain and howling at the moon — it’s been a long, full life, and he’s grateful for it. But could it be time for him to take one last journey?
Old Coyote's journey is about beginnings, and endings, and love among all creatures of the earth. It is a metaphor for the mystery, beauty, and certainty of death. How easy life would be if, like Old Coyote, we accepted death as a natural part of life. Life may be long or short, happy or sad, but whatever we're given, we should make the most of it, the way Old Coyote does as he changes one world for another, unafraid.
May your journey be safe Kyle.
MY HEART IS FOREVER BROKEN, BUT MY LOVE FOR OUR FAMILY HAS JUST GROWN DEEPER.
Auntie Rae, Sandy, Elizabeth, Garth and Sheri, I love you so.

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend;
Someone who changes your life just by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop;
Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world.
Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it.
This is how we would all like to remember Kyle, not how he left us but how he impacted all of our lives. Though I have not seen or talk to him since our early years at Mt Eden his humor and laughter will be missed. My prayers go out to his family.

I hope we can still come and visit you and your mommy and swim together and go to chuck e cheese again. I am glad I got to give you and your mom a hug at the funeral. Please call me Lizzy so we can play together.

Kyle was more than a friend, he was the brother Tom never had. He was the best man in our wedding and I'm grateful for those memories. I've known Kyle for all the years Tom and I have been together, the last 12 years and it seemed like I knew him a lifetime. Kyle will be missed more than words can express. We will miss those nights of fun with music... beer...laughter and dancing on our kitchen floor (Kyle really did think he could dance) with Sandi, Sherri, Garth and Liz. I'll miss the conversations we used to have while he was driving a long distance and just wanted someone to talk to. I'll dearly miss the time he, Sandi and Liz took to spend with Jr. We'll miss those late night phone calls that used to wake me up and make me mad, just to tell Tom he and Garth were listening to certain songs and they were both thinking about him. Though Kyle is now in a better place with our heavenly father, he will forever be in our memories and hearts. Kyle will never be forgotten for how can anyone forget such a remarkable human being. Our hearts and prayers are with Sandi, Liz, Garth and the rest of his family who loved him so.
Your friends,
Tom & Minerva McKenzie

Kyle was such a wonderful friend one could ask for no better. He always was there no matter what. I am so greatly honored to have had Kyle be a part of my life, if only for a short period of time, he made such an impact on everyone he knew. I have never known a man that truely loved his wife and daughter as Kyle did. We used to talk about Lizzie growing up, Kyle wanted her to be a little girl forever, he loved his family more than life. This world we live in has lost such a wonderful human being, but he will now take care of those in heaven (with a Bud in his hand I might add). My prayers are with Sandi and Liz. Kyle thank you for
being my friend, until we met again,
I will miss you. Love and prayers always, Denise Young

While I only talked to Kyle once, his reputation as a professional in the ink business is well known by all who knew him. Kyle combined his technical excellence with his personal friendship and integrity. Refreshing and rare. His competitors and his customers were his friends. Kyle, you will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Kyle and your family.

My deepest condolences to the Krause family. I was with Kyle on business a few weeks before Christmas and he went on and on about his wife and daughter, as a great husband and father does. Kyle and I talked often but only saw eachother occassionally. I have 2 daughters and would each dote and exchange stories. We all know that Kyle was a great guy; his family should know how proud he was of them too. Deepest condolences from a co-worker and friend. Sincerely - Jeff

My deepest sympathies to Sandi, Elizabeth and the entire Krause family. I only met Kyle through his brother Garth at the many Raider tailgate parties. Although I was mainly a friend of Garth, Kyle & Sandi always made me feel that I was a close friend of theirs also. Words cannot express my sadness. Please know that I will keep the entire Krause family in my prayers. God Bless Kyle and his family.

it's been more years than i even care to remember since i'd seen kyle, but the memories that i have in my heart - of laughter, and love and family - will someday be enough again... but, not now. not for a long, long time.... i love you all, and wish that i could be there with you to remember him one more time, surrounded by the family that he dearly loved. i love you all, and wish also that there were no reason for everyone to gather to say good-bye, again...again. i love you all. my heart grieves with you so....

Waiting to face Garth has been my fear for the past few days. What could I say, what words could I use? Thinking about Sandy and Elizabeth caused my heart to ache. He will truly be missed.
I have so many years of mememories, all are cherished, but now, I guess, he's up there keeping the peace between Dad and Paul.
Love you Kyle. Your friend Julie

Kyle will be missed tremendously by many, he had a charisma about him that many people never forget. I will always cherish my memories of him and his brother Garth at the A's and Raiders games. Who can ever forget the treks to Reno with "the crew" for the superbowl and the antics that we experienced. I will never forget Kyle and Garth showing up at my wedding in Tahoe in there favorite attire "shorts, flojo's and a t-shirt! My deepest sympathy goes out to the family, God rest his soul.
