I served with Kyle in the army down in Bragg. We developed a great friendship, and regret losing contact when we both got out of the army. He was a great guy and this still has me caught off guard. I'm sending prayers to his friends and family in PA

This truly breaks my heart like no other to date, Kyle became a role model for so many, I kept hoping this was all a mistake, and seeing his obituary today becomes a reality I really don't want to wrap my mind around, I love you buddy, and thanks for always being there when no one else would answer the call.... Rest Easy in Paradise
