I met Kyle through my close friend Laura. We connected instantly as he was so easy to talk to. He was so caring! He loved Laura so much. Kyle had such a gift with people. I am thankful that one day l will see them both again - on the other side. When you go for a walk in the woods, listen to the beautiful sounds of the birds, watch the beautiful skies and think of them both.

My heart goes out to his family and all of the friends that will miss him so much. May God's grace and peace give you strength during this most difficult time. Xoxo

Oh brother Kyle. I am very sad and miss you so much 😢😢😢😢. I still cannot accept that you left us. I am still waiting to see you. I miss the days when we used to have lunch in my house and we would have Starbucks coffee and Persian pastry for desert, and our day would fill with laughter and joy. I miss all your hopeful spiritual verses and positive energy. We never know how much we love a person until we lose them. Brother I never had a chance to tell you how much I love you and how proud I am of your intelligence and big heart because I am a shy person. Please forgive me and please know you will always have a big place in my heart. I love you brother . Rest in peace in paradise . I know now you are an angel on a different rescue mission ❤️❤️💔💔

Angel Kyle, I am in disbelief that you are not with us anymore. You know how much I love you, like my own son. Your news was too heartbreaking for me and it shattered me mentally and physically. I was chocking from severe shock and unable to grasp oxygen. I am trying my best to stay strong son, but it is not possible to accept life without your love and kindness my angel Kyle. I am in deep grief and my tears all recall your genuine heart , filled with unconditional kindness and love for all of us and the world . I love you my angel Kyle and terribly miss you son. Mom Helen 💔💔💔💔💔😢😢

Kyle and I hung out through Christmas of 2002, after reconnecting in the Toronto airport, and he captured a part of my heart. I am so deeply sorry for your loss, Shelly and Joe and family. I know he loved you passionately. I pray your hearts will heal after all this loss.

My dear brother Kyle,

How often we would sit , whether over a coffee , or in the truck during break and talk about as you called Him ‘TheDude’. You left us too soon my friend, I can only imagine that the weight of your loss was too much for you to bear. You are loved and missed my good brother. In these last few days I will suddenly remember things that we did together, conversations that we shared , laughs that we had . Sometimes a tear, other times a smile will cross my face as I rehearse the times that we shared. What brings me joy is to know that you are meeting’The Dude’ face to face . His loving arms outstretched to receive you with all the grace , truth and love that you could ever imagine to find . May you bask in the eternal love that surrounds you , and now with the words that we so often said to one another upon greeting or departing …. Love you brother!

Shelly and Joe; there is no heartbreak like the loss of a child. Kyle made a difference to many lives. God speed some healing to you and your family. Death is horrific when one is so young, and so much loved by all who took the time to know him. Sympathy to your family from ours. Sharon.

Shelly and Joe and Family I was honoured to be a part of Kyle’s Life. We definitely had a very Special Connection and I loved Him like a Son. We were always free just to be. Kyle had so much Love and Kindness in His Heart for all Humankind and all of Mother Earth and Creatures. I loved Kyle’s connection to My Jesus/Kyle’s Dude! Kyle, you have touched my heart forever and the hearts of countless others with Your kindness and the Rare Gift of Seeing them as they were. Till we met again I love You and Count on Your Being Ever Present. Much Love Barb and George Stillman ❤️🙏
