Kyle Zammar Obituary

Kyle Anthony Zammar, 22, of Lake Winnebago, Mo., passed away in his sleep on the morning of May 29, 2006 at home. Services are 11 a.m. Thursday, June 1, at the Lee's Summit United Methodist Church, 2nd and Douglas. Burial in Lee's Summit Cemetery. Visitation 9-11 a.m. Thursday at the church prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Kyle Zammar Scholarship Fund through the Lee's Summit Educational Foundation, 600 Miller Road, Lee's Summit, MO 64063, or the Kyle Zammar Scholarship Fund at St. Luke's United Methodist Church, 9420 James A. Reed Road, Kansas City, MO 64138. Kyle was a warm, compassionate, loving and giving young man. He had a great desire to help others, which he fulfilled by spending the last three summers teaching special education students and coaching boys basketball. His team, the Celtics, not only learned basketball skills from Kyle, but also the skills needed to lead positive rewarding lives. Kyle was an accomplished athlete with a passion for his favorite sport, basketball, and his favorite team and player, the Boston Celtics and Larry Bird. He played basketball at Lee's Summit High School and for two years at Ottawa University. While at Lee's Summit High School, he competed in many sports and received awards in broadcasting. Kyle was widely admired by his peers and looked to as a leader and role model. To pursue a major in special education, he transferred to the University of Missouri. Kyle was on the verge of starting a career with the Lee's Summit District, where he undoubtedly would have had a positive impact on many students. Kyle will be missed by his parents, Tom and Susie Zammar and his brother Austin. He will also be missed by the love of his life, Jen Simonin. Kyle is survived by his grandparents, George and Karen Zammar and Wilbert and Janet Abram and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. He will be missed by his beloved English bulldog, Chubs. Kyle will be remembered by all who had the pleasure and honor to have known and loved him. (Arr: Langsford Funeral Home, 115 SW 3rd St., Lee's Summit, Mo., 816-524-3700)

I just want to express how thankful I am to have had Kyle in my life, if only for a short time. Kyle was very close to my son and I can only hope that he will grow up to be like Kyle. I will always remember this very special young man.

dear kyle, i can honestly say that I can feel your help in the last year. You were a genius at human relations. I have tried hard not to step on toes this year. I have been appreciative of coaches and players although refs do grate. I have seen how you have given joe a nice foundation. and i think that his growth as a person has touched you. this year has been difficult but i have felt your support and companionship. thanks for the prayers and the coaching. greg

Its so hard to think about Kyle and not tear up. I find myself thinking about him everytime i step out on the floor of a basketball game or have stumbled apon a tough time in my life. I still reach for my phone to call him and ask questions, and stop at his name everytime i scroll through my contacts. He ment so much to me. I have look up to him since he was in high school, and would make stops by my house to chat with my brother. Knowing he is not on this earth anymore is still kind of tough to believe. There is no way anyone will ever be able to replace him in any aspect of his life. But everytime i see teams playing together not worrying about whose in the score book i think about kyle. That is his kind of basketball. He lived and died by hardwork and teamwork. There was no substitution. I loved kyle, and i know so many others do to. I also know he lives in our minds, hearts, and souls. No matter how many years pass i will continue to believe he lives within all of us. And only wants the best for us. He will never be forgotten.

Kyle,
As I sit here on this Memorial Day morning I think of how "normal" a day it seems. But of course there is nothing normal about it. It is the day, one year ago, that for reasons only God knows, He took you home to be with him. Everyone misses you so much. We think about you every day and would do anything, anything at all to have you here again. Your mom is so strong and such an amazing person. She misses you so much and aches for you beyond measure. But of course you know that already. And Austin, he is such a great young man with the best sense of humor. He can always make us laugh. And then there is Jen. Beautiful, sweet Jen who misses you so much and whos heart aches for you with every waking moment. It is evident when you look into those beautiful brown eyes. There have been so many things done to honor your memory, all testaments to what an incredible human being you had become all by the age of 22. You had such an impact on so many people in your short time on earth. We will never understand, at least until we are in the prescence of God , why he took you from us.
We love you and miss you , on this day, Memorial Day, 2007, one year ago from that horrific day that you left us. I can only seek comfort in knowing that you are with Jesus in a far better place and that we will be with you again someday.

Love, Mark, Kelly , Brock & Baylee Marlborough

Jen,

I want you to know that you are still in my prayers and will continue to be. I was on 291 yesterday and happened to look over and see you visiting Kyle. It breaks my heart thinking about you. I've been thinking about you alot recently. Just mainly hoping that you are finding some kind of comfort somehow. I don't know what to say other than that I know for a fact that there are so many people, more than you can imagine, that are praying for you. I'm not sure if it helps hearing that, but I wanted you to know that even as days goes by, weeks, months, and years, I will always be praying that you find strength in GOD. I know that you have some incredible people who are there for you but if you ever need one more I will be there in a second. GOD bless.

God bless you all, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I lost my Mom last November to Cancer, and through my experience, you will have good days and you will have bad days. I have found that on the bad days it helps tremendously to think about all the good times and memories you got to experience. These good memories are what will comfort you when the pain gets to be too much. I have known Kyle since 7th grade and a well rounded down to earth kind of guy he was. Kyle could always make you laugh and pick your spirit up. God be with you and your family.

Tom & Susie I can only imagine the pain and sorrow of your loss. Kyle had such a wonderful spirit, and had the uncanny ability to see the good in all things. I got to know him through my association with the High School Booster Club, and through both of my children, Jenny & Jason. Kyle was one of those rare people, who even at a young age, just " Got It". It was such a pleasure to watch his intensity and drive on the basketball court. I know my daughter enjoyed his friendship ans my son looked up to him as a role model. I wish you both peace as you sort through this challenging time.

Dear Susie, Tom & Austin,

There is no greater loss than the loss of your child. We are so grateful Brock got to play for Kyle but if only for a short time. It has become apparent to us that there were so many things about Kyle that we didn't have the pleasure of seeing for ourself. One only has to read this guestbook and other stories to see what an incredible and truly rare young man he was.That is greatly due to to you, his parents. Our heart breaks for all of you. Brock strives to honor Kyle's memory by becoming a better basketball player, a better brother and a better human being. Austin, you are one cool kid and you know we are just a call away. Don't forget that schedule. We have and continue to pray for God's strength and peace as you you are forced to emabark on this journey. Love, Mark,Kelly, Brock & Baylee Marlborough

Dear Jen,

There is nothing I can say to begin to express our sadness for the loss of the love of your life, Kyle. Although we haven't known you two all that long, it was apparent how much he loved you. You were his other half, his assitant coach. We can't begin to understand your pain but can only pray for you and be here for you. We are praying for strength and some kind of peace that can only come from God. We love you and will be here for you. Love, The Marlboroughs, Mark, Kelly, Brock & your hugger, Baylee.

To all of our friends: Susie, Austin, Jen and I cannot begin to express our thanks and gratitude for the enormous, overwhelming support this community has shown to us during this time of crisis.



We are so comforted by the kind words and inspirational comments you have all shared.



We find great comfort in knowing that Kyle truly did make a very long lasting positive impact on the lives of so many. We are very proud. We are also very lucky, for we were the family of this wonderful young man for 22 years and this was a great gift. We will try to carry his spirit forward in all that we do.

i honestly dont know where to begin or what to say other than Kyle was an amazing guy. And im sure he knew how much i thought of him i just wish i had more of a chance to express it. I just figured he would always be around and on the sidelines coaching. I had just gotten outta the shower when i got the call from Alex and at first i had no idea what "kyle" alex was talking about. I still dont understand why someone who doesnt do any type of drugs or drink, and is perfectly healthy can just pass like that. And at first i was so angry and just depressed that i didnt know what to do. But after the funeral i realized that there was no reason to be mad or depressed. That i should just rejoice in amazing and loving life Kyle led and how much he meant to me and everyone that had the privelege of knowing him. As much as i miss him i know his death was not in vain. He's inspired so many people and the stories of inspiration will touch so many other people im sure. All of this made me realize what i want to do with my life and what type of person i wanna be. I know that from here on out everytime i touch a basketball its gonna be for Kyle. Im going to honor him in every aspect of my life. I only hope i can have half the love he did for people and touch half as many lives as he did. Im sure i speak for all of his players when i say he'll always be with us, pushing us to be excellent in everything we do and to live life with a passion. Just like he did everyday. And from the looks of it Austin is on track to turn out just like his brother did. I see more and more of kyle in him all the time. He's already a great coach! He is so ahead of his years. He's more mature and respectful than most of the kids i go to highschool with. He's a great kid. The world has lost a great role model, hero, son, brother, and friend. Life wont be the same without him, but better because of him





My heart goes out the Zammar family and Jen. Im here for you guys as much as a 15 year old kid can be. Your all in my prayers

To Austin, your brother loved you very much and he will always be looking out for you! Love-Jeff, Jenny, Darec and Sydney Stowell P.S. If there wasn't a basketball court in heaven before, I KNOW there is one there NOW!!!!

Tom, Susie, Austin and Jen --



First, let me express my deepest condolences for your loss of Kyle. I did not have the pleasure of knowing him personally. I was a long term sub for Austin in 2nd grade, and had the pleasure of meeting Tom and Susie then.



As a parent myself, I can not begin to imagine your pain. Know that there are people in your lives ready and willing to 'be there for you'. Let them!



I have added you to my prayers, and the prayer list at my church.



Sincerely,

Lauren Peterson

Tom & Susie -

Some of our fondest memories are of Kyle and the guys coming over to hang out with Heather in high school. Kyle was a very special young man and has made a lasting impression on so many lives - be proud of that and know you did a good job!



Besides the "Cinco Amigo's" (see photo) - another favorite of mine is when Kyle went with us to take pictures with the live tiger cubs...what a trip that was! He could make even a long car ride a fun adventure for all of us.



Thank you for sharing your son with our family - he'll truly be missed and we'll cherish our memories of him.



Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.



John & Mary Adams (Heather's parents!)

Even though I wasn't a close friend of Kyle's, you could just see the happiness in his life. You knew that he had a wonderful heart and cared about many. I will always remember his big smile walking through the halls at LSHS.

He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and Jen.

Kyle has been so much in my heart and mind these last few days. This morning, after I got out of the shower, I walked into my bedroom, which has a nice view of Lake Winnebago. It was a beautiful morning, but as I looked out at the water, and the sky, I was taken aback, almost shocked, that it all looked the same as always. I didn’t understand my reaction at first, but then it came to me. The world has suffered such a loss, lost so bright a light, that I didn’t understand how even the sky, water, and wind could not somehow show it’s sorrow.

There are no words to describe what the loss of Kyle Zammar means. All I can say is what a wonderful person he was. He made you laugh at all the right times. He gave advice only a truly caring person could give. He always thought of and wanted to help other people first. He was a wondeful friend. I know he was a great son and an inspiring brother. I will truly miss Kyle. He touched my life and will never be forgotten. I'm just thankful I had the chance to get to know him. Guys like him only come around once in a lifetime. Susan, Tom and Austin you are in my prayers. I am truly sorry for your loss.

May 31, 2006

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Kyle mirrored his dear parents, Tom and Susan, in his never ending smile, happiness, and zest for life. Kyle never had a bad word about anyone and always greeted me with a huge smile. Genuinely a gentleman, Kyle's demeanor warranted me to converse with him as an adult in his respect he showed for me. We will all miss you Kyle, but will live much fuller lives because of knowing you. I am sure you are looking down upon all of us, and hope that we do you proud!

Kyle was good friend of mine, and got to know him very well during our ball playing days at Mizzou. He taught me many things and will always hold a place in my heart for always being there for me. My thoughts and prayers go out to Kyle's family and Jen, we will be thinking about you and never forget "Big Red"! My favorate Kyle quote comes from playing basketball with him, "Kareen Abdual Zammar", as he referred to himself making a shot. Here's to kicks and our girlfriends, Z!

Kyle had a tremendous impact on my life in the time I was around him. Kyle was always about doing what was best for everyone that surrounded him. Kyle helped others unselfishly and never asked for anything in return. Kyle's giving spirit will be able to continue at a higher level, and he is someone I will always remember.

Tom and Susie: Knowing both of you I know your hearts are breaking over your loss. I remember Kyle from Prairie View. Although he was never in my class, I had him in student council while I was a sponsor. He was such a happy, vibrant student. I'm privileged to have known him. We are praying for each of you in the family. God has a way of giving peace and even comfort knowing he cares and loves you, Austin and Kyle beyond words.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Kyle 'Z' as his baseball coach when he was 15 & 16. I remember how 'Z' gave every ounce of energy with every pitch. I remember that his enthusiasm for competition was un-matched. I remember his fun-loving spirit. He will be missed by everyone he came in contact with. I pray that Christ will comfort Tom, Susie and family.

My son Matthew played for Kyle as a "Hoosier". When Randy Cain had asked us if Matthew would be interested in playing for a team that would be coached by a guy who was a college junior, I was a little apprehensive. Kyle turned out to be an excellent coach and tutor for my son. Matthew learned a great deal from Kyle and will miss him dearly. My family and I are grateful to have spent that summer getting to know Kyle. The Zammar family is in our prayers.

Words will never be able to express how beautiful of a person Kyle was or how big of an impact he had on so many people. His smile and laughter will forever be missed by all who were blessed to ever be in his presence. There's nothing that can be said to ease anyone's pain. I can only pray that everyone have faith in GOD and look to HIM for strength. My deepest sympathy goes to Kyle's family, friends, and to Jen. Our prayers are with you always.

Kyle was one of the nicest people you could ever come into contact with. He was a roommate and a friend to my boyfriend, Geoff Gagnon. I had the pleasure of knowing Kyle for the past year and know that he was a quick-witted guy with a big heart. He undoubtedly left a great impression on the people he came into contact with and would have continued to bring smiles to many faces in his future career. He will be deeply missed.

It was a geniune pleasure to know Kyle. I met him because of Jen at Summit Fitness. Over the last three years of knowing him, he was nothing but positive and fun. It was always fun to watch him play basketball in the front court with the guys. Kyle was a kind, thoughtful guy who will be missed by many, many people. God bless and watch over Kyle and his family. All my love and prayers.
