I first met Kyle at Ferrum where he already knew everyone and I knew no one. He was quick to be friendly, as was his nature, and I will always remember him in that way. After college was over I would see him around every year or so and he was always quick to pick up where we left off. He was that way to everybody. A truly nice, smart, and personable guy. I will miss him.

Kyle-I was very sad to hear this. Lennie and I get together sometimes and talk about all of us growing up playing soccer and getting in trouble. I think we were always on the same team. We handled our business back then! I know I speak for my 2 brothers in saying we love ya and we will always remember you. Your smile was contagious. See you on the other side brother.

My deepest sympathies in the loss of Kyle. He had real character, he looked after the people around him and made sure they were alway smiling. The people who have signed his guest book here are a true testiment to the life he lived. Few people, twice his age, have touched so many. God bless

When I first met Kyle in 2000 I knew right away he would be very close to our family. He was a very accomplished business manager but more importantly his fresh upbeat demeanor was always present and the infamous phrase "he never met a man he didn't like" would be most fitting. His love for Willow was unending and showed greatly when he attended our own daughters' funeral last year. You are with GOD now and love for you will always be constant by all those who had the good fortune to be in your life. You will stay in our prayers.

Pat and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear the passing of Kyle. The picture posted of Kyle is very fitting as I always remember him having a smile on his face. I had not spoken to him in recent time but I do know he lived life to the fullest and was a good friend. He was always good for a witty comment and a good laugh.
My parents ran into him a few months back and my mother mentioned he was as sweet and kind as ever.
May he rest in peace.

Carrie & Family~
My deepest sympathies are going out to you and your family at this time. The news is quite shocking and saddening. "KYLEMA" was definitely taken from this world way too soon. A great person and friend to all he met. He definitely made high school more bearable and life more fun when he was around.
As you mourn this time and in the days ahead - turn to the love and support of your family and friends. Take pride in the fact that God has picked someone special to serve Him now. And reflect on all of the good times to help see you through the darkest of days.
With Deepest Sympathy,

Kyle was always great to everyone he came across. I still remember the times when he played rec league basketball against me and all the memories through Middle and High School. To his family, try not to be sad, for he is in a better place now where he will feel no more pain. Celebrate his life, for we shall all be glad to have had him in our lives at some point.
