He was an amazing uncle to his nieces and nephews, who adored and loved him very much. Kyle was known to take the clothing off his body and give it to someone in need without question. While Kyle struggled many years, battling mental health, and addictions it never stopped him from loving and being kind to others in need. Kyle always tried to help others offering words of and advice of encouragement, while he himself had recently decided to take his own words of advice that would lead him to a better path in life.  Kyle, we weren’t ready to say goodbye, you have been taken from us too soon. However, despite this tragic passing of our beloved son, brother, grandson, uncle, cousin, nephew, friend, and most importantly let’s not forget he was a father.  Let’s all come together in comfort and prayer knowing that Kyle is finally at peace. May his troubles and sorrows be finally ridden, and may the heavens above greet him as the innocent soul he was born into this world as. We will forever remember Kyle for the big hearted person he was. Kyle never acted as the little brother, always the big brother and protector of his loved ones. We pray Kyle finds the peace he truly deserves and we will love and remember Kyle forever in our hearts and memories.  A special thank you from the family, to all first responders involved who tried to save Kyle.
