Publish in a newspaper
Kyle was the perfect baby, so happy and content. He was the sunshine that lit up so many of his family's worlds. His kind loving soul always looked out for others. He was a loving partner, daddy, son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend.
Kyle's babies were his world. Karigan was her daddy's baby girl. He loved her to the end of the earth and back. Keegan was his daddy's best friend, his mini me. Kayden's time with his daddy was short but he was a daddy's boy and loved to hear him play the guitar and sing.
Jessica Calahan was the love of Kyle's Life and stood faithfully by his side. His love for her will carry on forever through their boys.
Kyle will be missed every second of every day by all the people who loved him.
