Kyle Joseph Fuchs

Kyle Joseph was born on February 4, 1998. That date was such an appropriate time for his birth because the SuperBowl is always near or on his birthday. When the nurse first brought Kyle to me, and he was crying, clearly angry, I knew what I was in for. But with that fiery spirit of his came an equally powerful affection and loyalty. He is both protective and gentle. He shows his love in a unique and private way, and somehow that makes his love even more compelling.

He is such an intelligent and talented boy. He loves math, science and geography, and he has such a keen interest and curiosity in the world, other cultures and the universe. Even the subjects that were not his favorites in school, he would do well in because of his drive to be the best.

He loves to play games, all kinds of games, especially ones that require a lot of strategic thinking. He loves to be with his friends and loves to compete with them, just “hanging out,” and laughing that infectious laugh of his.

His passion is clearly football, but he also loves and appreciates other sports. He appreciates the physical beauty and amazing versatility of the human body and he takes tremendous pride in his own body’s speed, strength, grace and power. He always gives 110% effort in everything he does. He has always been a quiet, strong young man who always shows respect for his coaches, teammates and even his competitors. He is a true leader, sportsman and role model for all of us, and always will be.
