Ron, Brenda, Josh, Christina, Brooklyn, Harlem, and all family, I am so sorry for your loss. I was very fortunate to spend time with you all through Kyle. Kyle has always brought happiness, laughter, love with him wherever he was. Kyle has been a great and respected friend and will deeply missed by many. Kyle left his mark in this world as a great Father, Son, Husband, Brother, and Friend. I cant help but to smile thinking of him singing, laughing, smiling and making funny faces ALL the time. I will always have a place in my heart for him and remember the good times we spent together with friends and family. I believe God has a plan and even if we don't understand it all the time, I do believe that you will be reunited with Kyle someday. I love you all and may God help heal your hearts through these hard times. His soul and spirit will live within us all until we meet again!
