I can't begin to express how deeply sorry I am to hear about the young life that so many shared so many memories with is no longer here with this world. I have never met Kyle nor the family, but I am dealing with the shock of suicide myself. I lost my husband, Josh Patterson, Sept 1, 2009. We have two beautiful daughters together that is a part of him. I have been grieving for what seems like years, but has only been 3 1/2 months. You will find so many different feeling throughout your rough journey of dealing with this. You will never have answers and that is going to be the hardest! Stay strong! Easier said than done. But my biggest advice I can give is support groups, counseling and speak with ones that have lost someone in this "unanswering" way. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to you and everyone that Kyle touched in his short time here.

Dearest Lori and Family. I am grievous at your loss. I am so sorry that you've had to suffer this tragedy. I lost my Grandson to suicide nearly two years ago, and it's a long arduous journey.
Just know that you are being lifted up in prayer for a reprieve from the grief that grips your heart right now.
God Bless,

December 4, 2009
I hope your family continues to find comfort and strength through these tributes to Kyle. This time of year seems to leave people thinking there is no way out. This year especially, I know of 3 other lost souls that took their own life. They are at peace but the families suffer and live with wondering if there was something that could of been said or done to prevent such a desperate choice.
To Kyle's brother, your words to Kyle touched me just as your mother's did. I pray for comfort and peace to you and your entire family. It seems that people who take their own lives will succeed one way or another no matter what loved ones try to do or say to help them.
Once again I am taken back by your heartfelt words. Your strength and courage will touch many lives, you may never know how many so please continue to reach out. I truly believe God works through people and there are Angels is heaven. Kyle is one of them!
December 4, 2009
I didn't know the family but was moved by Kyle's mother's courage in sharing the true cause of her son's death - addiction. So many are still suffering and perhaps reading this will allow them to take the seat Kyle may have had at a recovery meeting. God Bless your family and may you find comfort in the memories of your child.

Hi to all I just had to write and tell you that Kyles loss is moving hearts even in Florida. My memories are good ones like the day he was born then, came home to Canal Fulton only to grow up enough to invade his sister Julie's room. He would run in and steal something and run as fast as he could laughing the whole time. He was so cute with his grandpa Mullinax's chin dimple. I pulled out pictures from x-mas at grandpa's house with Santa Clause. Here again being center of attention, wanting to open everyone's gifts. So cute no one could really be mad at him for long. Please remember the "good times" everyday. He will always be a joy in my heart. Thanks for sharing your heavy heart I'm sorry for his short life. Have hope each new day will bring a bright thought, to lighten your load. He was just a chemically sick little boy in an adult body and was to confused to see tomorrow. Now his tomorrows are bright and many others will be too. Thanks for sharing your sorrow. Love and support to all that loved Kyle, for his loss will be great!

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever
Look to God in this time, I hope that you are blessed with all of the good memories of your son, in this time. He will live in your hearts forever.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of loss. It feels like just yesterday we were still neighbors in the backyard playing wiffle ball. Now every time i look at that bare spot close to where our yards would meet i will always think of you Kyle, it can be your spot. I stood outside and looked around and all the memories we had just came rushing back. The days where we were young and care free and had fun doing anything. You were an amazingly funny person who always made me laugh no matter what kind of mood i was in. Its a tragedy that this had to happen and i keep thinking that i'll wake up and realize its just a dream. But its your turn to be our guardian angel. God only takes the best and i thank him everyday that i got the privilege to know you and your wonderful family. And even though you are no longer with us your memory will remain with all the lives you have touched. But it's not goodbye, because we will see you again one day, so for now its see you later.
"While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil."
R.I.P Kyle you will be missed soo much, but will be forever in our hearts <3

Hello! We've never met, but we felt the need to reach out to you and your family during this sorrowful time.
We lost our brother-in-law, Joshua Patterson, three months ago, yesterday. He was 28 years old with two young daughters, one of which, will never remember him, except through stories and pictures. He was having a rough time, not sleeping, eating, and resorting to alcohol. He, too, took his own life. It is the worse thing we have had to live through, to this day.
Don't give up! Everyday is hard and slowly it gets better. One thing that can't be taken from everyone is their memories.
We have a little advice, just keep talking and sharing. Everyone mourns differently. You are all here to carry on Kyle's memories. Hang in there & take care!

We lost our son, Kevin, to suicide in 2006. He too was involved with drugs. We tried everything possible to help him...but he didn't want the help. He took his own life by jumping off the Y Bridge. Since then, we have worked tirelessly to get the bridge fenced. Work on the bridge will begin in March. We know your pain. May God bless you with his comfort, for everything happens for a reason. We will keep your family and Kyle in our prayers. God Bless You.

Dear John & Joyce,
Please know you will be in my thoughts and prayers for along time to come, as I have also suffered suicide in my immediate family.I pray Jesus will carry you as he still carries me.
God Bless You,and take comfort in the knowledge Jesus is holding Kyle and keeping him safe until you see each other again.
With deepest Sympathy,

What a brave and moving tribute you have written to your son. I read it a couple days ago but was moved to return and leave you my own thoughts. Alcoholism and drug addiction is a horrible, controlling, insidious disease that makes us do things we would not normally consider. It gives us a skewed view of ourselves and others. Clearly Kyle was a wonderful, funny, loving friend, brother and son with a terrible disease. I am sorry for you and him that he never found sobriety. There is no doubt that, as you wish, lives will be changed due to the words you have written. I am 13 years sober and I have an 18 year old son that I love more than life. My greatest fear is that he will be genetically predisposed to my disease. People need to know that there is hope and recovery ready and available right here locally. Start with the phone book. Make a call. It can save you life.
My heart aches for your family. God Bless you all.
December 2, 2009
I didnt know you very well. But i remeber meeting you a few times. You were always real nice to me:) And usually had somthing hilarious to say. I went trough your comments on here and everyone cares so much for you and your mother wow she seems really great and strong! i know its hard to find the good out of somthing bad and it seems like thats what shes trying to do. you may be gone but youll always be with us. and your mother is right. your helping out so so many people! You being gone will never come as a good thing but in what youve done youre going to save alot of live even if you didnt relize it. Im going to sleep now. You and your family are and will be in my prayers! Rest in peace.

Dear Palermo Family;
I am so very sorry for your loss, and applaud your strength in being able to share your grief with so many others so that Kyle's death may help even one other person seek help. Please think of all the wonderful times you had with him.
There is a poem called When I'm Gone.. It reminds us to remember only the good things, and none of the bad. Please find a moment to google this "copyrighted" poem. It helped me overcome the death of my sister when she was murdered.
May God Bless You

Gods bessings to your family. My son is waiting to go to rehab and I told him about Kyle today. I know the pain and hurt that Kyles mom must feel. I know Kyle is with Jesus and I thank you for sharing your sons life. God will wrap his loving arms around his mom and family. My prayers are with you

I too, like many others, do not know your family or did I know your son. My heart ached when I read Kyle's obituary. I certainly can't say I know how you feel loing a child. I would like to offer my my deepest sympathy to you and your family. My mother passed a few years ago and this poem helped me through some of the most difficult times....maybe it will bring you just a little comfort.
“Safely Home”
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh so happy and so bright
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh, but Jesus’ love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus’ arm to lean on
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth’s shadows,
Pray to trust our Father’s will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth-
You shall rest in Jesus’ land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

Lori, it's been years and I know I lost touch after I stopped babysitting the kids, but I was at a loss for words when Mandy told me about Kyle. My memories are of him dancing around and making funny faces trying to get Julie or Nathan to laugh...and they usually did. :) I am praying for all of you and pray that now Kyle is at peace.
December 1, 2009
I don't know you, nor did I know your son. However I felt I had to say how sorry I am for your loss. I said a prayer for you, the rest of his family and friends. I hope you all find peace in the days ahead. Also said a prayer for Kyle. I know God will keep him in his care.

Palermo Family: I am so sorry about Kyle. While he is physically gone, his spirit will continue to be with you.
I do hope his death will bring families closer and open the lines of communication among family and friends. I hope people will remember it is OK to ask for help - ask for guidance - and ask for someone to listen.
Rest peacefully Kyle.. Be the angel God knew you were.

Hello everyone this is Nathan Palermo, Kyles younger brother; it makes me feel very upset that Kyle thought that no one cared about him or loved him when they obviously did, acounting on all of the beautiful comments left by everyone. I hope that he looking down and he sees that there were hundreds of people that cared about him. I will always love him and will always remember him. I am thankful for the last day that we had together, I felt that I had my brother back in my life again. I wish that I could have done something but I have to keep telling myself that he is at peace now and he wont have to deal with anymore problems that may have came into his life.

To Kyle's family,
Almost 5 years ago my brother became very depressed and took his own life. We were in shock and devistated and wondered "why" for so long. My Mother was very touched by what was written about Kyle. She was thinking of my brother and crying most of the day after reading it. We still think that he cant be gone and for so long already. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you start this journey of pain and grief.

Kyle, I wsh that you were still with us, and I ask the lord to keep you safe in heaven. You were a great person, you could make anyone laugh. I will remember all of the times we had together. Yes we fought a lot but that never changed how much love and care i had for you. I will always love you and will miss you every day that you are not with us. I believe that everyday things will be a little bit easier for everyone, one less tear will be shed, and one less blame will be said.
From your loving brother,

Kyle was a great friend to my son Tyler who spent quite alot of time at your house in Barberton and Julie and Kyle in return at mine. There are not enough words to express the loss I feel today. All the "boys" have been friends for years and I would have never guessed this would happen to one of ours! We are praying that Kyle has found the peace he was looking for and that your family also can someday find peace. The obituary was probably the most beautiful tribute a mother could give to a child. Godspeed and RIP Kyle.

Lori, I was very touched by your loving tribute to your son. We have never met, but I want you to know that only Kyle had control of his life's outcome. Although you may not be able to see right now the reason, some day you will understand. As a mother of an emotionally troubled adult child, I have learned through the years to give her and her problems to Creator, for only our Creator can know what is best. Kyle now is in a place of pure love and peace and will suffer no more. I hope that you can find some peace in all of the outpourings of love for you and your family.

As so many other entries have been touched by your powerful, courgeous words; I too as a stranger feel compelled to tell you I care. I have struggled with drugs, alcohol and suicide my whole life. I am now sober and in therapy for so many things I never faced in my life and never thought those things mattered. Please if you are a teen or anyone for that matter... PLEASE TALK TO SOMEONE, ASK FOR HELP IF YOU THINK SUICIDE IS YOUR ONLY ANSWER!!!! SUICIDE IS A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO A TEMPORARY PROBLEM!!! I attempted suicide as a teen and again as a mother of two beautiful children..I am so grateful that my God saw fit to keep me here and lead me to the help I so desperately needed. I have a teenager now and daily make sure her emotional and mental health is in check. Nothing is that bad.
To this sweet mother: I thank you for your painful, honest and heartfelt tribute to your son. I can't imagine the pain you are feeling. I will pray for you and knowing nothing will replace your precious son, I hope God's grace surrounds you until you have peace in your life. You are a brave woman and even though I do not know you, I admire your strength and desire to speak the truth.
So many people suffer from alcoholism and drug addiction and it really is a matter of life and death. Words can hurt, but they can also help and I know your heartfelt words about Kyle will save another life! I know your words have affected me in a way that reminds me how precious and temporary this life on earth is...never take it for granted and always be kind to others, no matter what, be kind! You have touched my heart this morning and for that I must say, "Thank you". God Bless You, my friend.

We don't know each other or ever met. I also have an 18 year old. I wanted to give you my sincere condolences, from one mother to another. My heart aches for your situation. God is with you and Kyle will always be in your heart. Always keep your best and fun memories alive. It will be hard but time heals all wounds, no matter how long the process.
May God Bless.....

Kyle, although we were not bestfriends, you were still a friend and it hurts to hear that it had to end like this. I cant tell you how upset Justin, and all of your other friends and family are about this, so dont you ever forget for one second that you were and always will be LOVED!

So very sorry to read of the loss of your son Kyle. We do not know his family but can feel the sorrow you have. Read the Beacon online every day, having read your words it brought tears to my eyes and a hurt for his family in my heart.
Pray that his passing will be in vain, am certain that it will help another troubled person. There are reasons in all things, thank the Lord that you do have fond memories of your son.
May the Lord keep you in the palm of his hand and lead you through these defficult times.
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Julie, My thoughts and prayers are with you, and have been since i heard this terriable news.Kyle had a mind of his own, and was a wonderful kid, i tried intervening several times in his old basement, we spent many hours talking about what took his life, I hope all Kyles friends learn from this.And if anyone of you need to talk, well you all know who i am and my number.

I am so sorry for your loss.
Kyle was a co worker and friend of mine and he will be greatly missed.
My brother passed away 4 1/2 years ago the same way, it is a horrible loss to everyone. You have such great courage and it is admirable that you would want to save others in Kyles name. My family and I have chosen to do the same. This should never be the answer. Great people have been taken from us and my deepest prayers go out to you and your family.
I thank God that i was blessed to know Kyle. He gave you almost 19 Blessed years with your child. Find your peace in the Lord. He will give you your strength.
