Kyle Andrew Kisch, age 56, of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, passed away unexpectedly on August 12th, 2025.

Kyle was born on December 31st, 1968 in Saint Paul, Minnesota to Culver Dean Kisch and Betty Ann Kisch (née Rude). He grew up with his parents and younger brother, Brandon Kisch, in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. He attended Lincoln High School, and graduated in 1987. Later, he attended Minnesota State University-Mankato, and graduated with his Bachelor's in Psychology in 1993. At the time of his passing, Kyle was employed by Boston Scientific as a Medical Device Specialist.

Kyle was a passionate fan of the Minnesota Vikings, North Dakota Fighting Sioux, and Minnesota Wild; he found joy in the worlds of Star Wars, the Marvel Universe, and The Lord of the Rings. In his younger years, he enjoyed hunting and fishing, and he carried that love for nature throughout his life. His interests were a reflection of his imaginative spirit and deep appreciation for storytelling and adventure.

Kyle is survived by his beloved daughter, Josie Kisch (Alec Letourneau); his brother, Brandon Kisch (Kristy); nieces Bailey Kisch (Patrick Jones, fiancé) and Madison Kisch; and many cousins, aunts, uncles, and close personal friends who will miss his warmth and wit.

Kyle was preceded in death by his parents, Culver Dean Kisch and Betty Ann Kisch (née Rude); paternal grandparents Andrew and Hannah Kisch (née Peterson); and maternal grandparents Herman Oliver and Beatrice Alvida Rude (née Lokken).

A Celebration of Life for Kyle will be held at Noon on November 15th, 2025 at Black River Lutheran Church, rural Thief River Falls, MN with Reverend Sheila Micheals officiating. Visitation will be held one hour prior. Burial will follow at Black River Lutheran Cemetery at a later date.

Kyle's legacy lives on in the hearts of those who knew him. May he rest in peace, surrounded by the galaxies and heroes he loved so dearly.
