Deacon Lyle and Jackie oriented us to St. James when we first moved to Omaha 10+ years ago. We also enlisted Lyle´s skills as an arborist for advice on caring for our many huge trees. We are so sorry for his family´s loss. He was a truly kind and caring leader at St. James who will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Fran and Marty Traynor

My sincere sympathy to all of Lyle's family. I had the pleasure to not like him as I was a Burke Bulldog. Then loved him as a teammate at UNO. We roomed on road trips and were long time friends. Such sad news.

Lyle was a great friend. He was always fun to be around as we played baseball and softball together as well as working in an occasional fishing trip. His quick wit and abundant kindness produced several memories that will not be forgotten.

The Lord has put may souls around us here on Earth, and a few are exceptional blessings. Lyle was a force to be reckoned with in the virtues of strength, wisdom and kindness. I thank God for the blessing of Lyle and his witness. I pray for the consolation of Christ to Jackie and the family.

Lyle is one of the kindest men i know, a model of Christian discipleship. It was an honor to have him in the deacon formation program. May he rejoice in seeing Jesus for all eternity. Prayers for all who love and know him
