I wanted to write a short entry from someone who knew Kyle for only 10 years instead of a lifetime. From the moment I began to date Marie Adele, I was accepted like a brother by Kyle and that never waivered. Whether it was cooking Jumba for the Christmas parade in New Roads or him giving me crap for consistently being 15 minutes late when we were building cabinets together for Brother Brad. It was always a special time when you were lucky enough to spend time with this Future Angel. I was the only one there the day Kyle passed out for the first time. That day he had his first seizure. Even more burned into my memory is the day me and Marie Adele received the news that Kyle had brain cancer. A part of me died that day knowing what the outcome would be. But one thing about Kyle, he would fight this cancer with every ounce of power he had. That's exactly what he did, hoping there might still be some treatment left to try. He did not want to leave his family because he loved them so much. Don't misunderstand this as being afraid to die. He was just that much in love with Missy, Kayla, Kyle and all of the people he had touched his entire lifetime. He was the toughest SOB I have ever met. He never once complained until a few weeks ago he told Marie Adele that he had a headache. Give me a break, a headache, the man had three brain tumors. I would have given in years ago. I will always cherish the time we spent together drinking beer and just BS'ing. I will miss him very much. And remember Koot, "Rome wasn't built in a day".

While I have not seen my cousin Kyle much since I moved to California over 20 years ago, I suspect that as an adult Kyle wasn't much different than the boy I knew when we were growing up together.

What do I remember? How he went off to Boy Scout camp not being able to swim and came home a week later having completing the one mile swim. How he was able pull himself out of the water and water ski behind a meager 10 hp outboard. The excitement of the day we spent playing on Old River hopping on and off a gigantic inner tube that came from a farmer's combine. Tearing off on the three-wheeler up and down the levee with me on the back.

Kyle was head strong in accomplishing what he wanted and physically strong enough to make it happen. He was quiet, but warm. I can see why they called him Happy. He kind of kid everyone just wanted to just hang out and play with.

Kyle has left us from this world, but he has not left my memory or my heart. Some things leave a lasting impression.

God bless to all of us who loved him, especially his wife and children who stood by him every day, and his parents and siblings who had the pleasure of knowing that boy far better than I ever did.

Rest in peace.

To the family of Kyle Bergeron,
I am terribly sorry to learn of Kyle's passing, and frankly, even more distraught to have not known his family, beyond that of his wonderful mom/dad, Clody, Brad and Rosemarie. My memories of Kyle were as a boyhood friend during our childhood days living and growing up in Morganza. Kyle's friendship served me well during a troubled time in my adolescent years , when friends counted most. Kyles friendship was simply invaluable. We shared many laughs, and few cherished boyhood mischiefs. Kyle was a free spirit, always carefree, unselfish, trustworthy, and a good friend; a friendship that has provided memories for a lifetime. Although life had taken us down separate paths, and we have not stayed in touch, I am thankful to have wonderful memories of a man who made many laugh at every occasion which found us both in the same room. Frankly, I feel blessed to have shared our brief time together. I pray for God's blessings on the family he leaves behind, and that Kyle is at peace at the Lord's side. Kyle my friend, I will miss you, and prayfully will see you again,
your old pal, Billy LaGrone.
