I met Kyle in the mid-‘80s when my daughter Cedar Lewis started going to Community Preschool on Leverett and Judi was its director, so I guess I knew Kyle for most of his life. We didn’t hang out, but when we did have chances to visit at his parents’ house or at meetings, there was a good, heartwarming connection between us. I had not seen Kyle in a very long time, possibly since Judi’s memorial service. I didn’t know he was suffering so badly. My son Zane said Kyle had reached out for prayers on Facebook. How else could he do so during this pandemic isolation and distancing? I wish I’d known he’d reached out. His mom Judi and I were good friends, walking buddies, and we often hashed through our worries about our kids and let each other talk things through. Judi loved Kyle so much, but she couldn’t take away his physical illness or his other challenges. She did what all of us parents and aunts and uncles and siblings and friends do, love them to the best of our abilities and try to help when we can and if we are allowed. Kyle, you sweet man who always looked at me with a mischievous twinkle in your eyes, may you Rest In Peace with your mama, who I know you are with now.
We are so thankful to have had Kyle in our lives! He began working for my brother and I at Total Electric in February of last year and he was a Godsend to us!! He was a hard worker, great electrician and the customers were always pleased with his work. We only knew Kyle a little over a year and our hearts are so heavy with sorrow from losing him, not only as an employee but as our friend. Kyle had such a kindness to him that was so genuine and a great smile that went with it. He will always be remembered and deeply missed. From our family to yours, our sincerest condolences.
Very sorry for your loss. Kyle and I played basketball after school together as highschoolers back in the day. He was a nice guy that accepted you no matter and was always a nice friend. He even gave me a ride home one day in his ol Honda hatchback with a killer sound system...haha. We also would sit in the back of 11th or12th grade Chemistry class and clown around. I really am sad to hear he passed. May he rest in peace now.
I last saw Kyle during a visit to Arkansas in 2017. It's difficult to realize that I won't be seeing him again. Condolences to all the family.
Miss you, Buddy! R.I.P.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. I didn’t know Kyle personally but I went to high school with him and remember him as being very nice, friendly, and a great guy. He was loved by many and will be greatly missed.
I remember my nephew as toddler in Mother’s kitchen with his left arm crunched up, resembling my paralyzed left arm. “What in the world are you doing? I asked when I saw him. “Uncle Renny, I want to be just like you,” he replied. That day my heart melted. He was such a sweet, dear soul.
Kyle helped take care of my dad in therapy at NWMC in 1999. He made such an impression on me that I've thought about him over the years and prayed for him because he was so good to my family and especially my dad. I read his obituary with tears streaming down my face, but thinking how heaven had gained a sweet angel and earth had lost a great guy. I'm sending all my love and prayers to his family.
My thought and prayers goes out all the family during this difficult time of your lose. Kyle was a kind & loved person by many. God Bless
