Kyle Hostetler Obituary
Kyle Evan Hostetler, 19, of Carmel, passed away in the family home on Thursday, January 1, 2026. He was born on May 19, 2006 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Kyle was a student at Purdue University, where he was studying engineering design to become a real-world problem-solver. His favorite project was designing and building a 3D-printed, robotic prosthetic hand, for which he got a scholarship. He loved cats and fixing up cars with his friends-some he'd had since Kindergarten. He enjoyed computer gaming and also playing bass guitar.
Kyle was a kind soul who felt things very deeply. He was loved very much by his family and friends-who all wish they'd told him more often and hugged him one more time.
He is survived by his parents, Christopher and Ivy Hostetler; sister, Lily Hostetler; grandparents, Mary L. Hostetler and Thomas and Debbie Haseman; aunts, KC (Jeff) Tatum and Ashe Rippy; uncle, Dean Haseman; and many cousins, including Duncan Rippy, his gaming buddy since middle school.
He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Harvey L. Hostetler.
Visitation will be from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Friday, January 9, 2026 at Randall & Roberts Fishers Mortuary, 12010 Allisonville Road, in Fishers. Services will be held at 12:00 pm on Saturday, January 10, 2026 at the funeral home with an additional time of visitation starting at 11:00 am.
In honor of his love of cats and rescued dogs, memorial contributions may be made to Humane Society for Hamilton County, 10501 Hague Road, Fishers, IN 46038, www.hamiltonhumane.com
