Kyle Redford Obituary
Kyle David Redford, 21, West Lawn, beloved son of Karen Redford, also of West Lawn, and Michael Redford,
Haddon Township, N.J., passed away July 29, 2009, in Reading Hospital. His sudden death came as a result of a fall from his skateboard while he was enjoying life to its fullest.
Kyle is known as a creative, artistic, fiercely loyal, respectful and fun-loving young man who used his gifts of introspection and intelligence to explain the world around him.
As a 2007 graduate of Wilson High School, his senior project was to create a book of his art and poetry. He spent many hours writing and recording his own songs using his treasured guitar.
He also spoke frequently and proudly of his recent choice to be an organ donor.
His love for the outdoors included skate boarding or hacking with his friends.
His employment incorporated his skill for working with his hands, being physically active and near the ocean.
Kyle's spirit will live on forever not only in the hearts of his family and friends, but also in the lives of those who received his organ donations.
He is survived by parents, his adoring sister, Marlee Redford, and by his grandmother, Lois Klein, Boise, Idaho.
Cousins, aunts and uncles throughout the United States also mourn his loss.
Memorial services are scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 4, at 7 p.m. in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints located at 3344 Reading Crest Ave., Reading, PA 19605. Friends may pay their condolences from 5 to 6:45 p.m. in the church.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be sent to Gift of Life Donor Program, 401 N. Third St., Philadelphia, PA 19123. Gallman-Sonoski Funeral Home Inc., Temple, has charge of arrangements.

Hey kyle. I just want to say that I still think about you my friend, and I miss you very much. Me and kyle went to school together at Wilson Highschool, and the kid was just too awsome. Always laughin, and making other people laugh aswell. he was very good at understanding people and making them feel good about themselfs. Never ever judged. And he would treat you as if he was your best friend, even if you only know eachother because you take a couple of classes together. I know this because i ran away from home for a couple of days, and he saw me on the street shivering from the cold, and as soon as he realized my situation, he didnt hesitate to say "dude, stay at my house man" and i did. That was the last time I saw him. You were just amazing. I hate the fact that I coudlnt even say thank you for that. A beautiful soul gone too soon.
I love you, i miss you,and I'm still thinking about you, 12 years later.

Kyle is still in our thoughts almost daily as I see my daughter and the life she has as a result of Kyle's willingness to be a donor. While she is struggling some, we will be forever thankful for the kidney she received. Thank you for posting today.

Mike, Karen, and Marlee; Our family is so saddened to learn of losing your Kyle. While we have been out of touch for almost 15 years we still laugh about all the good times and trips that our families spent together. Our Ryan is now in the Navy preparing to go to Bahrain as an MP trained in fighting terrorists. Kyle and Ryan had so much in common; their love of adventure and being physically active. I can only imagine your saddness by picturing the loss of my son. I know that your faith will endure and see you through the heartbreak of this brief separation till you will again be joined for all time. Don, Pam, and Ryan Beech

A poem written by a friend of my daughter's as a tribute to Kyle.
How can I thank someone I never met before,
But your life has helped someone I completely adore,
Your life was taken at such a young age,
But the most amazing thing you did keeps me in a daze,
Your donation gave life to someone for this world to see,
Someone special to her family and friends, someone special to me
Many people miss you and many thank you just as much,
There are many people in this world now that their lives you have touched,
You're very special to her and you never even knew her name,
And when I think of how special she is I think of you the same,
I bet the life you lived made a lot of people smile,
Never even met you but I'm very thankful of you Kyle,
I'm very sorry your life in this world came to a end,
But if being close to her makes me close to you, then it makes us best friends,
You have to be in heaven and I pray your family is doing ok,
I'm sure they know you're riding your skateboard up there today.

I know my words might not ease the loss each of you feel each day, but you all (ya'll) need to know he is on our minds every day. Our daughter continues to do well with the perfectly matched kidney. I still remember the doctors amazment at how perfect it was. I have on my facebook page. . . Organ Donors believe in Miracles, thank you Kyle!

The only way I knew Kyle was through Mike's shared pictures and his shining, proud eyes as he talked about his son back home. I'm saddened that I will never be able to meet this generous and beautiful young man but know he will continue to live in the hearts and lives of all those he touched. As your heart is overflowing from the pain of the tragedy and the love you feel for your son, know that you are surrounded by family, friends and strangers who share your grief and are willing to share your burden. Much love to you, Mike, and your family.

7 years ago, when Doug and I got married, Kyle was the only one able to attend the wedding reception. He made it a point to talk to me and appologize that his family was unable to attend. He was so friendly and kind and generous in his memories of me when I used to babysit or when he and Marlee would tag along for Young Womens' activities. I am very grateful to have had that opportunity to meet with an incredible young man and I pray for his family and friends.

Karen, Mike and Marlee,
We are saddened to learn of Kyle's passing. I was just remembering the other day about your visit to our home a couple of years ago. Our daughter was the last one to the table for Sunday breakfast and Kyle just looked at her and said, "Good morning, Sunshine!" We will always remember his happy greetings. You are in our prayers. May the Spirit remind you of that peace that surpasses all understanding.

I was in shock when I got the call from Josh. Our heart goes out to you and your family at this trying time. I never met Kyle but always remember how you talked about him, and the love you had for him.
I wish I could be there at the service today to support you in person. Kyle lives on through the organ donation program, and in your hearts and memories!
I can't wait to see you again on your next trip out to UT.

Dear Mike, Karen and Marlee: I send my prayers and thoughts at this difficult time. I knew Kyle from his coming to work with Mike while he was in High School and he was always such a wonderfully sweet, kind, respectiful teenager, I always enjoyed seeing him. I am so sorry for this accident, and loss for your family. I believe the gift of organ donation is a wonderful thing and hope that it helps the grieving process.

Karen, Mike, and Marlee-
I cannot even express how sad I am for your loss! I think about losing Jaxon sometimes and it makes me lose my balance, I almost pass out for doing this! So, I can only imagine and hope it doesn't become as real as this! Kyle and I had some good times up at the cabin jumping off the shed, and having so much so much fun!!
He truly loved life, and the outdoors so much and we all miss him very much! I am sad he didn't get to meet Jaxon! But I know he is meeting Jaxon's Brothers and Sisters waiting to come to earth! We love you guys and are truly sorry for your dear loss!
With Love,
Josh, Karrie, and Jaxon Hewlett

Dear Karen and Mike,
Cheryl and I send our deepest sympathies on this tragic loss. I coached Kyle for a season in Little League and have so many wonderful memories of his fun loving and joyful nature. I also remember thinking that 10 and 11 year olds couldn't hit a line drive at me during batting practice that I wouldn't be able to catch...until, that is, Kyle drilled one off my left knee. Everyone had a good laugh about that, including me, and I limped for two days!
We are out of town today and will not be able to attend the services, but our thoughts and prayers are with you...and with Kyle.
Sincerely,
Brian and Cheryl

Karen and Mike I am thinking of you today as you mourn your beautiful boy. I know there are really no words that can take away the pain, but it is so apparent that you both have thousands of friends and family that love and support you both. Kyle was a lucky boy to have had 2 such wonderful parents for his short 21 years here on this earth. He was loved and he knew that much.

Dear Karen, Marlee, and Mike,
We were devestated to hear of the sudden loss of Kyle. Although we haven't seen him for quite some time, we have fond memories of his smile and darling personality. Our hearts go out to your family. We wish we could be there to personally hug you and give you our support. Just know we are thinking of you and you are in our prayer.

Kyle is/was one of the most special people I have ever met in my life. He always knew how to make me smile. We shared some many amazing moments that will live on with me forever. I love you Kyle!
August 3, 2009
After speaking with Karen, I am making a book for her and her family about Kyle... from all those who knew him or will get to know him through organ donation. I will have something at the funeral tomorrow to leave your memories and love for Kyle and his family. Please take the time to write something for Kyle's family to forever keep in memory of him. Please include your name and how you know him and his family. (If you would rather email me something, please email to [email protected]) Thank you for taking the time to fulfill this wish.
August 3, 2009
I ache for your family, and for the loss of such a vibrant young man. He made a very caring decision to donate his organs, and his caring will live on in many people who will forever thank him for the gift of life he chose to give, and that you also chose to give. Your incomprehensible loss is a miracle to so many people. I don't know if that can bring comfort, but I do so hope it can, someday.
August 3, 2009
With deep and heartfelt sympathy to Kyle's family and friends, and humble, tearful gratitude for his lifesaving bequests.

Kyle is a great light in this world and had a smile and spirit that soared above the crowd. I remember when Kyle was born, white as snow, a beautiful boy.
I rejoice in the little moments spent together growing up: sleeping over at Grandma Redford's house in St. George, when he first got his glasses - he looked like he just might become the smartest man to ever walk the earth - how he'd stay up as late as possible at sleep-overs talking, asking these thought provoking, intense questions...his curiosity and enjoyable disposition made everyone enamored with him He has achieved much in a short span, influencing friends and family as he went along beating the drum (or strumming the guitar) to his own path. He took the road less traveled and lived life to it's maximum...few can say the same.
The lasting memories I have of Kyle are as follows, two come from the same trip: It was the year our family went to Henry's Lake in Idaho. Kyle was enamored with music already, like he had been born into this wealth of knowledge of great music - he already knew all the words to every song on the Classic Hits Radio, it baffled me - but it was obvious with parents so "with it" and a house on the avenues in SLC full of CD's and Zeke the cat balancing on top of them looking for a place to sit. I also remember he and my Dad were in a small canoe and I was on a See-Doo. I came too close and made a wake so big it knocked them both over. Kyle must have been 5 or 6 and I don't think he had a life jacket on. My Dad was screaming at me as he saved Kyle who was flailing about and drowning. Once they swam back to shore Kyle was laughing about the whole thing while my Dad grounded me for the rest of the trip. Kyle felt bad about the punishment for me and apologized to me - he hadn't done anything wrong! He was just a kind, sweet boy. But I'll never forget that he thought it was fun to be tipped in the water even though he couldn't swim yet - he just enjoyed nature, fun, and life to the fullest and whatever came his way he took as if it were part of the plan.
I also cherish the time my wife, Tami & I pulled into Reading, PA on our road trip from SLC, UT to stay at Karen's with Kyle & Marlee on our way out to Philly. It was Saturday night, Kyle was dressed in his white shirt and tie, ready to go to General Conference Priesthood Session with me and we enjoyed the talks of those great men. I think that may have been the only time I had with my cousin, just he and I, me being 10 years older, but I could see a great man in this boy...wise beyond his years, a spiritual Giant.
You will be missed and certainly never forgotten, my dear Brother Kyle, may your reunion with our loving Heavenly Father, as well as with Aunt Bonnie, Grandma and your Grandpas be sweet. Keep smiling down upon us, until we meet again.
Jason Redford Hewlett, cousin (son of Marsha Redford Hewlett)

My heart truly aches for your family Kyle. I knew you from highschool homeroom, many classes, marching unit, and just hanging out before practice. When I heard this horrible news, I literally fell, my knees gave out from under me. I was speechless, felt my heart ache, and felt my breath labor. I was begging for the friend who told me to be mistaken. You were always so kind-hearted. The laugh and smile to brighten up the day, and you were always doing something out of the ordinary, but it was just who you were...extra-ordinary. Always on the go, always wanted to help, made everyone feel better just by being you, I admired that. You changed lives Kyle, you were the person everyone knew would make a difference. And You did my friend.I know you will keep an eye on us down here, and still help us. You live on in those you have touched and helped, those words of advice will remain forever in our hearts, and you will always be missed. I will never forget you, you have influenced me more than you know.
RIP,

Karen, Marlee, Mike and Grandma Klein,
Although I am so far away, my heart is with you this week. I grieve with you, and I rejoice in Kyle's life with you.
I have so enjoyed sharing some of the outpouring of love for Kyle and your family through electronic means. I am so grateful for that.
This week I had done a computer module at work on organ donation. I had no idea that within days it would touch my life is such a way. I am proud of Kyle's decision and that he let you know about it.
I am so greatful for a belief in a loving God to whom Kyle has returned and for the comfort God provides for those still left behind. I will continue to pray for that comfort to be abundant in your life.
With love and great sorrow I am thinking of you all.
A proud cousin of Kyle,

The moment I had heard about Kyle and that he was still in the hospital I prayed and prayed for a miracle. I called everyone I knew including friends and family and asked them to pray even if they didn't know him. He was one of the mot amazing people I knew. I have known him for three years and I am so glad that he was and still is a huge part in my life. A miracle may not of happened but I know he is in a better place and he is having a blast up there. I know he is making everyone laugh and smile. I have sooo many great memories of him that I think about everyday that make me smile and help to heal the pain.
My heart goes out to his family and I have them in my prayers.
Rest in peace Kyle!!
I love you!!

My heart aches so much for my family. Words dont even come to mind that will show Karen and Marlee how sorry I am. Kyle has taught me so much...just in the past few days. I had affirmation to just how precious life is. Kyle has taught me to ENJOY life more. To be proud of who I am. And to enjoy every moment of my childrens life. (Yes, even the bratty teen ones) Kyle, THANK YOU for being a donor. And thank you to your parents for honoring that. The entries on this site are proof that you are an angel.
LOVE your cousin

What a wonderful gift your beautiful son has given to extend the lives of others in need of organs. I did not know Kyle but my family and friends life have been greatly changed by his generosity. I am pretty positive my 29 year old daughter received one of Kyle's kidneys. We received the call Wednesday night and flew from Alabama to Los Angeles. She had the transplant early Friday morning and is up and walking and eating solid food today. Erin has had kidney problems since she was an infant, I (mom) donated a kidney to Erin when she was 14 and it had quit, she has been on dialysis since Jan. 08, and had lots and lots of problems just continually since then. I want you to know with the first call to us we began to pray for your family and your loss. This gift of life is not something we take for granted or lightly. Erin really would like to personally get in touch with the family at a later time. We have not shared the knowledge of who Kyle is with her yet.

Dear Redford Family,
It is through tears that I add this comment. Tears for your loss of such a wonderful son whose heart was full of life. Reading the previous comments, it is apparent he was loved and had an impact on many peoples lives. His legacy will no doubt live on forever.
I questioned the appropriateness of writing. ... . but I could not help but let you know. You see, Wednesday night, my daughter received a totally unexpected phone call. A kidney that was an exact match for her was available. I don't know this for sure, but I believe it was Kyle's. Your son's decision to be a donor and your most generous willingness to follow through has possibly saved my daughters life. The doctors seemed amazed at the exact match. I can't see the screen very well right now, because my heart hurts so bad for you and at the same time is so grateful for the gift of life my daughter has received.
Her mother and I have not told her about Kyle yet, but she has said she would like to have the opportunity some time to thank the family.
I will remain anonymous for now, but if you could find it in your hearts to allow my daughter to contact you, we would be eternally grateful. I will be receiving emails when updates are made to this site.
I am praying for your family and also praying that this email will not cause more pain. . . . if it does, I am so sorry. I wish I could hug your necks right now.
PS I hope it's okay, but feel led to help keep this guest book open.

I have some wonderful memories of Kyle. He was SO cute with Afton as a baby. The way he would light up when he saw her and asked to hold her. And in my eyes he will ALWAYS be the most awesome player at "Balderdash". We will all miss him dearly. Our love to the whole family.

Dear Karen and Redford Family, there are no words that can ease your pain except to know we are all here for you. This hurts my heart because just 20 months ago my in-laws lost their baby boy at 18. I know what you are going through and I want to extend my apologies and also a hand of friendship. I am here if you need to talk. It seems you have a very large family and many friends to keep you strong and I pray God will help you through this time of grief. I will pray for you and your family.
