I read the article regarding Kyle's passing in today's Sunday Chronicle. I, too am a parent of 2 children. I can't begin to even imagine the terrible pain your family must be going through. I feel so badly for you, I never met Kyle, but he sounded like a fine young man. I couldn't help but cry while reading the story. I want to pass along my condolences as well as my thorough compassion for your family in this time. May God Bless you in your greatest time of need.

Today is monday and iam back home and iam a mess like all my famialy iam sure iam looking for the right words but after all ive heard from all his friends who got up to speak about kyle iam a a loss so iam just going to ramble on about this, kyles parents were the best you could have they raised him so well he has touched soo many people and the saddest part being i live in maryland and they live in cal we never get to be see them much and i sure would have like to have know kyle sooo much better. i just got off the phone with my mom who lives in boston she was very strong during all this and i know right now she needs alot of rest and as a grandma she will never be the same. life is sooo short and i am still asking my self about WHY and if there is really a god then why wouldnt he protect kyle, iam not like alot of other people or maybe iam i cant really say there is a god with all the bad things that go on!! I feel theres someone out there but where do we really go i watch alot of the learning channle tlc and discovery channel and iam into science and all that stuff and i just dont know. I also didnt want to go see my sister i wanted to remember kyle for what he looked like in life and wanted to remember all the good stuff, i had to fight with myself to make the right choice to come and be there for my sister, i was pacing the floors at home asking my friends whats the right thing to do, and really i knew the answer. ive learned that being there for my sis and steve and shawn was the best thing for them and myself. When i think of God i dont have tto be with alot of people i dont have to go to church to talk to him i feel the closest to god in the woods up in my tree stand. I know alot of people will think iam nuts on how i feel but do you really know what happens to you when you die???? Ive always been a fact kinda guy i know iam going on and on but i guess what iam saying is if there is really a god then why Iam soo sad for my sister and steve and shawn today is raining or should i say the sky is crying like myself for such a great guy when i looked at him i saw my sister who is the best sister a big brother can have I love you Lin I love you steve and shawn you guys will alway be in my broken heart your all my BUDS

Dear Linda, Stephen and Sean,
Our hearts go out to all of you. Although we knew Sean growing up more than Kyle, we all remember Kyle at various performances and rehearsals when the boys were much younger. We can recall Kyle's positive energy while he waited for his older brother to finish up. He grew up to be such a fine young man.
We know that words cannot express how you must feel. Please know that we are thinking of all of you and we will miss Kyle, your angel.
Love and Support,

Dear Linda, Steve, and Sean,
The families of the 2006-07 Foothill Falcons Varsity Basketball team extend our heartfelt sympathy on the death of our beloved teammate, classmate, and friend, Kyle. Kyle touched many people, both young and old, during his time with us, brightening our lives with his kindness, smile, love of life, and his passion for sports, especially basketball. All who watched and cheered Kyle immediately recognized his exceptional athletic skill and prowess, be it on the baseball or soccer field, or on the hardwood. Our sons share a bond with Kyle that only a teammate can experience, and while our hearts ache from the pain of his absence, the boys are comforted by having Kyle in their lives. We embrace you with love and compassion and remind you that Kyle’s friends, teammates, and their families will always keep you close.
The following is found on a plaque affixed to a wall at The Palestra, the basketball arena at the University of Pennsylvania. Kyle embodies this famous quote and his teammates will always remember Kyle and his love of the game of basketball.

I have never met Kyle or the family. I did hear about his accident on the news early the morning it happened and my thoughts have been with all who knew and loved him often since.
My own son recently obtained his driver's license and I shared with him what I had heard about Kyle.
I wish the family my deepest condolences and hope that they will find a measure of growing peace over this tragedy with time.
May they always remember vividly Kyle's life and feel great joy from that.

Kyle,
I just can't believe that you aren't with us anymore. Im so used to seeing and joking around with you at school that things just aren't going to be the same. I'm still trying to come to terms with the fact that you aren't here, things weren't supposed to happen this way. I'm sorry i didn't chill with you more this year, but this was something no one expected to happen. I cherish the moments that we did hang out starting freshman year when i played basketball, you were one of the funniest guys i ever knew and its so sad to see you go. I'll never forget some of the crazy things we did on the weekends and its hard accepting that there are never going to be more of them. I can't begin to imagine the pain that your family is feeling and my prayers are with them. It isn't going to be easy for any of us when school starts monday, because something big is going to be missing. You knew how to put a smile on anyones face and were always at the center of the fun. I try to find comfort knowing that you are up there watching over us, but there is nothing more that any of us wants then to have you back. I'm going to miss you so much man you were such an awesome guy and you definitely aren't going to be forgotten.

Dear Kyle,
I never really knew how much fun we had together until tonight. At your service tonight there were alot of pictures of us as little kids. I tryed to stay strong during most of the service but it was really hard when I saw those pictures. I found my-self flipping through this little book that we got in Kindergarten when we were in mrs. Holisters class together. it was full of pictures and little things that we had written during the year. The first picture I came to was of you me and 2 of our other friends during the holloween parade at school you were a ninja and I was dressed as steve young with one of those stupid plastice helmets on.lol then I came to our christmas letter we had writen to santa. It was supposed to be what we wanted for christmas for our-selves but yours said that you wanted a hat for your dad and a doll for your brother. That pretty much says what kind of guy you were. Lying next to the book was a picture of us when we played soccer. you were on my first soccer team and Mark mullainey was the coach. At our first practice The coach kicked the ball and none of us had ever played before so we all just ran over to the ball and dove on it. the whole team. I just remember the coach turning to my mom and going " are you kidding me"lol. anyways written below the picture we had all signed our names and it just amazed me how much our writting sucked. every ones names were written in all capitall letters and my J was backwards. but it just reminded me of how much fun those days really were. you were also on my first football team the Eagles with coach cassey luise. you played linebacker and I was on the D-line. we only lost one game that year and took first place. this is how I truely new you Kyle just from playing sports with you. you were always a guy that people loved to play with you because you always tryed to be the best, and people hated to play against you because you were just so good. I kno your in a better place now and I'll try to not be sad anymore for you. watch over us friend. R.I.P Kyle O'Conner

Dear Hyme, Linda and Sean,
Anne and I are heartbroken at this news.
Kyle wore my "Refuse 2 Lose" T-shirt until it had holes in it.... and then kept wearing it anyway!!!! Life is Tremendous, but can also...at times... be very cruel. This is one of those times.
All we know is that Kyle and Sean are GREAT kids and you and Linda are great parents and we miss you so much!!!! We can't even imagine your sorrow but we know that Kyle will be OK.
I talked to my Mom ("Betty") up in Heaven today when I heard the news and asked her to wait at the GATE and welcome Kyle and take him under her wing and show him around. She will no doubt spoil and pamper him as much... or even more...as she did YOU when you lived here in Boston!!!!
The miles that divide us from Boston to California cannot intercede the HUGS that Anne and I are giving to you and your family at this time.
Stay strong!!!!!!!!!
Anne and Joey O'

Dear Kyle O'connor,
You were such a big part in my life i still can not get over the fact that your gone. I have so many memories that we share together. The best one though was when you were getting me involved into counter-strike. I would sneak out of my house ride my bike to yoru place pick up the game all secretivly. Then i would go back and try to load it onto my computer. It never worked so i had you come over and try even though we never were able to play it together i know we wish we could of. Everytime i go play this game or any other game i will think of you. When we were in Cub Scouts together we had a heck of a time we were such great friends. Even though we driffted apart we still talked to each other and said hi to one another. You were friends with everone and it inspired me to want to go out and met other people. I know your up there haveing a blast. And i also know you looking down at us with a big smile on your face. You will never be forgotten hear in p-town you will remain in everyones hearts. I miss you so much buddy

He beams when he speaks of Kyle. Allow all the memories and friends kind words and prayers help to heal the pain. I remember Kyle every evening when I say my rosary.

My 17 year old son was killed in a freak accident in 1988 and I think of him daily. It's a parent's worst nightmare but my faith in God has sustained me. I know the pain you are feeling. My heartfelt sympathy to your family. Your memories of your son will always be your consolation. May our Lord give you comfort during this time.
I am formerly from Pleasanton.

I played basketball for Dublin High and played with him from time to time at CLub Sport. I always enjoyed playing with him and he always kicked my butt!! He was a great guy and an awesome person. My prayers go out to him, as well as his family and friends, and to let all of you know that he is resting peacefully in the arms of God in heaven.

Although I did not know Kyle personally, I still feel a large amount of sadness at Kyle's death. It kills me even more that someone my age, someone who had so much potential could and has passed away. I know everyone will remember him for the great person he was.

O'Connor family,
I know that I'm sorry doesnt even begin to cover the depth of this tragedy, but I am sorry for your loss. Kyle was truly an amazing guy. My mom says that those that aren't long in this world are the ones that are really special, the ones wise beyond their years and who don't have much else to learn in this life. I went to Lydiksen and Hart with Kyle, and he was always the sweetest, kindest guy. He has touched many lives, and I know he will not only be missed but REMEMBERED. He has taught us to live our lives fully, never letting a day go by without an optimistic smile on our face. I will never forget Kyle's smile. <3

My Condolences to the O'Connor Family, Kyle was one of the most memorable people that I have had the pleasure of meeting during this journey. I'll never forget seeing him in the neighborhood when I would visit. Kyle, you where always a beacon of light for me and for that I shall always remember your energy and smile, as well as seeing you coming up the street or playing in the cul-de-sac in a baseball cap on a skateboard. May God bless and rest your soul.

My heart and prayers go out to your family during this hard time, Kyle's loss was hard for me as a classmate to accept, I can't imagine how hard it must be for you. Kyle led a good life, and positively impacted many people with his sense of humor and personality. Please try to find comfort in that fact, and that he is in a much better place free from the cruelties of the world. Here's my favorite memory: Kyle dressing up in a traditional Nigerian outfit for a history project! He is truly unforgettable.

Kyle, I meet you in kindergarden and I always liked you. My mom used to tease me for having a crush on you. You were one of the funniest, caring people I have ever meet. My prayers go out to you and your family. I know that you would want us to be strong during this hard time and we are all trying our best to find light in the dark. Here is a prayer for your family and friends to remember:
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glint on snow;
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn rain;
When you wake each morning, hush:
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circing flight.
Lift your eyes to the sky at night-
I am the soft and twinkling starlight.
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
May God be with all those who are hurting.

Every since I heard about your sons accident I have had such a heavy heart. I can't even imagine the pain in your heart. I pray God will cover you in his love. I have a 15 year old and I made him sit with me and watch the news coverage about Kyle. I can't even imagine getting a call like that. It is a parents worse nightmare and I AM SOOOO sorry this nightmare had to come true for you and your family. Please know, that even though I don't know you or your son, that my love and my prayers are with you and that your sons life and death touched my heart.
