Kyle you certainly knew how to put a smile on peoples face. When we lose a loved one, we gain an angel in heaven that watches over us. May you take comfort in knowing that you have an angel to watch over you now. Go in peace my friend, it's been a true pleasure.

To the entire Curkendall Family You all hold a special place in my heart forever as my brother Joe's second family. I pray for strength for each and every one of you to get through all this and hope that your love for each other and all the wonderful memories he gave you will help to ease your pain. Kyle was my brother Joe's best friend and since Joe's passing in 1988 he has been like a brother to me. He, Chris and their 3 beautiful girls helped me raise my 3 girls when they were younger and I will forever be grateful to them for that. After getting to know him more over the years I realized why he was my brother's best friend as they were two peas in a pod, both had a heart of gold and a love for their family and friends like no other.... God Speed Kyle I will remember you always and I'm with Leenie I wish I could of seen you and Joe reuniting after all these years.
It breaks my heart to see you go I will have hope and faith in that someday I will see you again....xxxooo

May you RIP my big brother, my hero, my protector... Kyle, there is so much to thank you for and I hope I got it all covered :) Something I didnt tell you before you went was thank you for bringing such AMAZING children into all of our lives... I am beyond proud and amazed with your Kristy, Keri and Katy and I know Calvin and Asia will follow in their daddys footsteps as their sisters have! Till we meet again, I will miss you more than you will ever know! I wish I could have seen the reunion between you and your best friend...but I can Imagine exactly how it went... Your Leenie (I love that nickname even more now) xoxo
