Like others, I never had the pleasure of meeting & knowing Kyle but to read his story, his passions & achievements what an inspiration. His infectious smile speaks to his spirit that will forever breathe through us all.

I also did not know Kyle, but wanted to support Jenna my wife, and Chris and Tina. At first I was not going to go as I just cant bare the thought of losing a child but My wife wanted me to go to support her, I'm so thankful that I went. I was inspired by Kyles Friends and thru them speaking about Kyle I could see just how amazing Kyle was and to see how many people he touched should give his Dad and Mom the affirmation that they brought up an amazing child who loved everyone and wow did everyone love him. thank you Kyle for giving me the appreciation of life without even meeting me.

I never knew Kyle, but came across his photo and the news of his passing by chance. Though I never had the pleasure of meeting him, I felt as if I knew Kyle. His kind spirit, open heart, courage, and optimism hit me instantly, and I will mourn his loss. My heart goes out to you, his family, and friends. His life and his memory will always be a blessing.
