John Paul KYLE

John Paul Kyle, affectionately known as John, passed away peacefully on July 29, 2024, at the age of 85. Born on February 14, 1939, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, John brought joy and love to all who knew him.

John was the beloved younger twin brother of Jimmy, who was 30 minutes older and preceded him in death, and his cherished younger sister, Jeannie, who survives him. He was a devoted family man, survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Mary; his children, Shannon, Ron, Scottie, Tony, Pat, and Joey Ann (who preceded him in death); as well as his 13 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.

John's life was filled with passion and zest. He loved to party in his younger years and continued to enjoy the lively aspects of life until the very end. A true fan of NASCAR, John admired number 24, Jeff Gordon, and had a deep appreciation for classic rock music. Despite his sometimes very grumpy demeanor, his love for his family was unwavering and profound.

Mary would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to her brothers, Bobby and Dale, for their constant help around the house and yard and anywhere help was needed. Special thanks also go to their grandson John and his wife Marlena, as well as their daughters Shannon & Joey Ann, for always being there at a moment's notice when needed.

John's legacy of love, laughter, and resilience will live on in the hearts of his family and friends. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
