Kyle's Memory Wall

We encourage you to share your most beloved memories of Kyle here, so that the family and other loved ones can always see it. Share your favorite stories or comment on those shared by others.

My heart breaks for the whole family. Kyle was a wonderful friend and co worker. I will always remember him for his smile, the way he just knew how to put everyone in the best mood, and for his laughs. When he laughed he would put his head down and just shake his head. We will miss him for the way he would always do whatever it took to put the residents in the best of moods. We miss him for running down the halls pushing the wheelchairs. We will miss kyle for everything. He always wanted to work on the "fun days" which were holidays. I am praying for the family daily.

Dear Laura and Family,
I knew you in High School as Laura Schulz. We rode the bus #16 together. I have fond memories of our friendship. I feel so badly for your whole family about your dear son's passing. If he was anything like you, I'm sure he was a wonderful sweet person. May the Lord bless your life with the fact that He placed your Son in your lives for 27 fantastic years. Treausre the memories of his life. May you find some peace during this very very sad time in your lives as a family. Your son is in Heaven now, you all will see him again some day, friends and family. Sending you our condolences and love to your family.

Tommy, Laura, Adam and Morgan:
Words cannot describe what you all must be going through, but you can all be so proud in knowing you raised an incredible person. I will certainly miss golfing with Kyle each summer and miss seeing one of the hardest and fastest golf swings I have ever seen! When I shared the news with my Dad, he reminded me that he remembered Kyle on a couple Autumn Saturdays when Tom, Laura and Kyle tracked across the state to Detroit to support our Luke at the Down Syndrome Buddy walk. At the time, in his early twenties, many others his age would have other, more "important" things to do, like football games or whatever. But not Kyle; he sacrificed these Saturday's to support his cousin Luke. Because...well, that was Kyle!
Love, David, Amy, Luke and Danny

Dear Tom, Laura, Adam, and Morgan,
We are deeply saddened by your tragic loss. We will cherish the memories of the times we all spent with Kyle. From pee wee baseball coaching our sons with Tom to high school soccer being fortunate enough to coach Kyle and all the times between and after. We will never forget that warm smile, blushing cheeks and timely sense of humor. Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Tommy, Laura, Morgan and Adam,
I am so heart broken over the news of Kyle. He was so kind and lived his lived with such a fearless spirit. I have so many fond memories of him over the years; when we were younger, I remember marveling at his ability to do flips on a trampoline or how far he could hit a golf ball over the lake. He touched everyone with his warm smile and kind eyes and his memory will remain deep in our hearts. My deepest sympathies to you all during this unthinkable time. You remain in my prayers. Love, Bridge

I wish I had words to lighten your agony but sometimes words are just not enough. Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss.You are in my thoughts and prayers. I worked with Kyle and he was one of the greatest coworkers to work with. He would help you with anything and he made the shift go by fast with his laughter and all his energy that he had, oh boy did he have the energy. I will miss him. God got a great guy on Nov 30th. Now Kyle can be free and do whatever he wants to do. Again I am truly sorry for your loss.

Dear Tom, Laura, Adam, Morgan, & families,

How hard it is to convey the sadness we feel for your family at the loss of your dear son and brother. I can still picture that precious little boy in his St. Basil School uniform. From the beautiful tribute that I read, he grew into a wonderful young man who loved life and lived it to the fullest. We pray that our Lord will bless your family and fill you with His strength and healing love in the days and weeks ahead.

With our deepest sympathy, Ron, Pat, Matt & Sarah Henry

Tom and Laura
I am so saddened to hear this news and learn of Kyle's passing. Mere words are so inadequate, but I do send my most heart felt condolences and sympathy.

Tom, I remember when we 3 played golf together, and the great fun we had on those occasions. I remember too the joy I saw in you when we discussed those exploits subsequently. Those were special times, and I hope you recount them often in your mind in the days and months to come.

Please know we hold you up in our thoughts and prayers in this most difficult of times.
