Kyle Skinner, known to his family and friends as "Kyle", was born May 25, 1950 to Shirley and Robert "Niel" Skinner. He passed away at home, January 11, 2025.
Kyle, an independent handyman for years also worked many years at Cleveland Clinic Huron Road Hospital in East Cleveland, OH, as a Boiler Operator/Maintenance Professional taking great pride in his work until its closing in 2011. As Kyle put it: "There are 390 lives I am responsible for in this building on a daily basis".
Kyle is survived by his children, Joshua and Cheyenne Skinner; brother, Frank Skinner; sister, Kelly Skinner, who remembers: "When I was a little girl, to me you were superman! You were sooo tall. You could kill a wasp with your bare hands! You weren't scared of spiders or monsters. You were always so much fun! We were always getting into mischief. There was always a sense of adventure whether we were kids playing in the woods or grown up taking off on our Harleys. You are off on the next adventure ahead of me, scouting the route for me. Your face in the wind, cranking the throttle and leaning into the curves. Godspeed big brother. God Bless you. I'll miss you till we meet again." He is also survived by his loving partner in life, Theresa Petro; and too many loving friends and extended family to count!
Kyle is predeceased by his parents, Shirley and Niel; and brother, Kim Skinner.
