Kyle Lee Warner

Kyle Lee Warner, 31, of Emmaus, PA, passed on Friday, February 13, 2026.

Born on August 4, 1994, in Allentown, PA, Kyle was preceded in death by his mother, Paulette H. Warner (Hubner). He is survived by his father, Jeff Warner; his stepmother Robin Warner; his sister, Haley Warner and her spouse, Alexander; his brother, Jeffrey Warner and his spouse, Jennifer; his beloved nieces, Adalyn and Olivia; his grandmother Linda Warner; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Kyle was a graduate of Emmaus High School. He could often be found skateboarding or biking through Emmaus with friends, supporting local businesses, with a chocolate milk in hand. He frequented Vargtimmen King Koffee - a place he loved and where he felt at home.

Kyle filled every room he entered with his gentle presence and his contagious laughter. With a full heart. With humor. With depth. Kyle made people feel safe, seen, understood, and less alone in the world. Kyle gave the best hugs. He had an appreciation for the world that ran deeper than most people ever realize.

To know Kyle was to love Kyle. He had a one-of-a-kind soul: creative, thoughtful, kind, honest, profound, authentic and deeply human. Kyle's creativity has inspired countless lives and he lives on through his artwork and music. He had a gift for seeing the world differently. He saw art as something sacred, something that could connect people, heal people, and help them feel understood. Kyle didn't just create art, he poured pieces of his soul into it. Through his creativity, he gave language to emotion, thoughts and memories.

Kyle was a musician through and through. Gifted and passionate, he loved playing guitar alongside his custom pedalboard, foot tambourine and harmonica. Music helped him express what words sometimes could not. For Kyle, music brought connection and meaning. He loved bringing people together through a shared passion for creativity and expression, and he had a gift for making others feel included and empowered.

A true free spirit, Kyle loved skateboarding, BMX, snowboarding and driving stick while listening to his treasured CDs and playlists. He enjoyed giving skate and guitar lessons to kids and cared deeply about making art and music accessible to everyone.

Kyle was an intellectual, a thinker, and a philosopher in the truest sense. He was always searching, always questioning, learning, reflecting. Conversations with Kyle always went beneath the surface. Short or long, they were always memorable. He lived with a deep curiosity for the unseen and spent his life chasing meaning, mystery, and wonder.

But more than anything, Kyle was someone who showed up with the deepest empathy and compassion for others. He showed up for his friends in moments of crisis. He showed up for the people he loved. He cared deeply about his community, about people on the margins, about those who felt unseen. Kyle loved everyone.

Kyle's life was marked by creativity, passion, and sincerity. And though his time here was far too short, his impact was not. He leaves behind a legacy of music, art, love, and connection, a legacy carried forward by every person who ever felt understood in his presence, every friend he supported, every moment he made brighter just by being Kyle.

He was deeply loved by everyone. And he always will be.

A memorial service celebrating Kyle's life will be held on Friday February 20, 2026, at 2:30 PM with a time to appreciate Kyle's artwork beginning at 1 PM at JuxtaHub in Emmaus. Please bring any pieces of artwork created by Kyle you might like to display during the service. This will be followed by an open-mic night in Kyle's memory held at Vargtimmen King Koffee in Emmaus from 6:30-10 PM. We invite all who knew and loved Kyle to join us in honoring his life in whichever art form you're led to.

Kyle had organized an open-mic night on Friday, March 6, 2026 from 7:30-9 PM at JuxtaHub. We invite you to join us that evening to honor his intentions of creating a space for reflection and community.
