Our entire family have the fondest memories of Kyle to remember him by. Kyle was with us for a while and joined us for many Holidays, family celebrations and was always welcomed in our home. He was a very good friend to Chuck and Michelle. The vision I have of him as I write this today, is when Michelle won Miss Maine Teen he was so excited he hugged me all the while jumping up and down he wouldn't let go of me. Then he bolted down the hall to phone his grandmother to tell her. We have many pictures and many more memories of Kyle, and as my son Chuck stated, one could always depend on Kyle's support and help. When we had the Ice Storm he opened up his home to Chuck and Becky, he would do anything for you, that is how he was, he loved to help you, he had a big heart and we are glad he was in our lives and lets not forget he was a big tease, too. It was a few years back at one of the Bangor Folk Festivals that we saw him last and then a few phone calls, and then nothing until now. As others have said we all lost touch, however he was never far from our thoughts. Our most sincere sympathy to Rose & Glen and his dad. And our most sincere heartfelt sympathy to Jason his brother who we also had the pleasure of meeting and knowing and to his sister and mostly to his beautiful son Landon and Landon's mom. God be with you and help you through this sad time in your lives.
Mr. & Mrs. "G" as Kyle called us!
Kyle, we have missed you and will continue to miss you!

I will always remember how Kyle would stick up for his friends. He really loved us all Todd, Shawely and me. We all went in different dirctions in life. Kyle you will be missed and never forgotten. I know if he knew what I was doing today he wouldbe proud of me but not surprised. Kyle I miss you. Condolences to his family and son Landon. Landon, I think you have inherited some Uncles. (207)-329-3464 Ps. I won't forget your round white protec hockey helmet or your soccer moves. Peace forever!

I am sad... sad of the fact that there are people in the world that we are close to at different times of our lives, and then we drift apart. for whatever reasons....as time goes by, we may remember that person from time to time and each time is briefer than the last.....until one day ...that person is thought of again......in a different light.
My heart is with Kyles son, .........I cannot imagine not seeing mine....ever again.
And I am very sorry for his family, words are not enough, sometimes its all we have, and I'm sure, Kyle is listening
