I want to Thank Everyone for there prayers, thought of our son, condolences, and expression of Kyle. He was an amazing person. He would love everything everyone has thought or said about him.
My family just wanted to express our condolences and let you know that Kyle touched many lives. Our daughter Stefeny went to Lake Road with Kyle and has been in band with him since Junior High. I know Kyle’s band family will never be the same. When I told Stefeny about Kyle trying to save his brother she said without hesitation-“that sounds just like him”. That speaks profoundly of the kind of kid that Kyle was. We are so sorry for your loss.
Hey Kyle.. Wanted to come by and say that you were a really great friend to me and my family.. My two kids loved coming over and playing games.. Really enjoyed just sitting back and joking around. You did one of the bravest things anybody go ever do you laid down your own life to try and save another.. We all miss you very much..
Melvin, Sue, Kristy and James
