I met Kyle because we worked in the same building at UNT, would pass each other in the hall and say, hi. Eventually we had a conversation and realized that we had friends in common. There's a lot of people I would pass in the hall, but very few of them become friends. Maybe our common appreciation for pearlsnap shirts had a little to do with it, but mostly he was just a friendly and interesting guy who I could identify with. Anyway, I don't know why this happened, but I hope that somehow some good comes of it.
My blessings to his family...

Kyle was an inspiration to me. We hung out as high school kids and he was always laughing and having fun. That's how I remember him to this day. We kind of lost touch but, I will never lose touch with his memory. He was a talented, funny and a great friend. Miss you Kyle, love you buddy.

Kyle was a good friend of our son, John, and he was a great kid. We always had a lot of respect for him as he grew up,as he was always kind, polite, and fun to be around. We thought of Kyle as an "adopted son". He will surely be missed, and he will always be a happy thought in our memories.
