My deepest sympathies, Mark.
So damn sorry to hear that Kyle is no longer with us!!
I Think that I met Kyle about 18 years ??
My fondest memory of Kyle was 8 or 9 years ago…
I was scheduled to work on Thanksgiving day…., Kyle dropped me off at work!!
Like 30 minutes later, Kyle picked me up; because I had Thanksgiving off!
Kyle invited me to celebrate Thanksgiving dinner with his whole family!!
That’s the absolute truth; Kyle was a great friend!!
Dear Mark and Family,
My most sincere sympathy to Kyle’s loving family. You are all in my heart as you grieve someone so selfless and loved.

I was friends with and went to high school with Kyle. He was a great dude and I always remember him as kind and willing to help out. I would see him again every few years when I’d be home on leave from military service; he was still the good friend I remembered. RIP brother!
I’m so sorry for your loss. Words are never enough at this time. Always cherish the memories.
I just found out today and am beyond sad to hear that Kyle is gone. I just met him less than a year ago and he was a kind, sweet and helpful friend to me. I will really miss him. My sincere condolences to his family.
Dear Debbie, Mark, Lucas, Rita, and the rest of the family, I am so sorry to hear about Kyle. We hadn’t been in contact for awhile, but I fondly remember the times we spent together. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
