His commitment to excellence was evident in every project he undertook, and his influence in the industry was marked by integrity and a strong work ethic.

Beyond his professional life, Kyle was a man of many interests. He had a passion for tinkering on vehicles, a hobby that provided him with endless hours of joy and satisfaction. Kyle was always ready to lend a helping hand to friends and family in need.
 A devout member of his church, Kyle's faith was a cornerstone of his life.
