Kyle James "KB" Bevan

Kyle James Bevan entered our world on a beautiful spring day in April of 2007 and passed away on snowy February day just before his 19th birthday. An amazing son, brother, grandson, nephew, and friend left this world listening to music with the love of friends, family, doctors, therapists, and caregivers at his side.

Kyle is truly a billion Pokémon rare. In August of 2024, a rare DNA brain tumor was found, one year later a new diagnosis with a cancer element, and then in February of 2026 a further diagnosis of growing teratoma syndrome. Kyle fought for 18 months with valor and courage. He showed us what grit means. He was constantly defying the odds, coming back time after time until he couldn't.

Despite the overwhelming health challenges, Kyle never lost his spirit and remained a beacon of strength, resilience, and quiet courage to all who knew him. Kyle was curious, funny, kind, thoughtful, adventurous, and incredibly brave. He loved being with friends, listening to music and seeing live shows, skiing, mountain biking, reading Anime/Manga/Brandon Sanderson, swimming, hiking, and he never met a Rubik's Cube he couldn't solve, or a Lego set he couldn't build. Don't get us started on his national pinball wizard records or Oculus Beat Saber rankings.

Kyle brought light into every room he entered with smiles and smirks. His motto was "Word is Bond" and he was loyal to all those close to him. Kyle was committed to equality and inclusion. He leaves behind countless people who loved him deeply and will forever cherish their connection to him.

Kyle graduated from Salt Lake Center for Science Education (SLCSE) in 2025 and was planning on an engineering/computer science path in college. He even mentioned going into medical engineering after one of his surgeries. His quest for knowledge, his determination, and joy in learning was evident in everything he did.

Kyle will always be in our heart of hearts and his memory will carry on through his parents, Heather and Brian; his brother, Fynn; his loving grandmothers, Kathy, and Donna (Oma); his uncle and aunts, Chad, Kate, KJ, Vickie, and Chet; and the loving community of extended family, friends, teachers, doctors, nurses, and therapists who knew him more recently or throughout the years.

We will celebrate with an open house to take a Walk Down Memory Lane on Kyle's favorite day, our Seventh Day Adventurist Day, Sunday, March 22nd from 2-6pm at where it all started with Miss Billie's Kids Kampus located at 232 W 800 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84101.

We ask those close to Kyle to take a gander through your phones and find a few photos you love. Please print and bring them to the open house. There are so many memories with Kyle and we would love you to share yours. We will be also setting up a Google shared drive for all to add photos and take photos to remember Mr. KB by.
