Remembering our grandson, Kyle.  He was such a great guy and showed how much he loved us by choosing our name to go with him forever.  He was so quiet UNTIL he decided to let it all hang out and then he was just pure joy.   His sense of humor was beyond measure and so dry, we were kept in stitches with his little side comments.  You were a blessing to our family, Kyle.  Thank you for just being you.

Father we pray you show your mercy on this hurting family. We cannot even begin to imagine their pain. Father, we know you will be that loving presence in all the lonely moments that await them. Help them to hold onto the promises of God through Psalm 34:18: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

Loving Father, grant Rick, Kayleen and Courtney peace, for they are full of fear and anxiety. Let them rest in your warm embrace, for they know that you will never let them go. Cover them with your wings of love and grant their family the peace that surpasses all understanding during this trying moment as they mourn the loss of Kyle. Heal their broken hearts and bind their wounds. Remind them of your promises about heaven and eternity, for we know that Kyle is in your presence right now. Lord, help them to find a path of healing. In Jesus’ holy name, we believe and pray. Amen.

When Kyle posted on social media, it was always memorable:
Aunt KRISTINE’s Riddle: 1 rabbit saw 6 elephants while going to the river.  Every elephant saw 2 monkeys going towards the river, each holding 1 parrot in their hands.  How many animals were going towards the river.  Let’s see who went to shcool.....
Kyle’s answer:  25 if you like to be wrong, 11 if you’re one of those people who think you’re always right but rarely are, or 5 if you’re extra pedantic because nobody said the elephants were going towards the river & every elephant could have seen the same 2 monkeys.  Any competent attorney would object to the form of the question since it is never stated that this is a complete & exhaustive list of all animals who were going to the river at that time, so any answer would be unfounded speculation.  Although the answer that would have gotten me sent to the Principal’s Office in school would be, “the earth is an oblate spheroid, so any direction you are walking is towards a river.”  Also ‘school’ is misspelled.

Kyle has been in my life since I was 2 years old and he was 11. Our parents became best friends and we always had a standing Friday game/pizza night, went on Spring Break trips together, birthday parties, etc. Growing up the youngest and only girl among 4 boys, Kyle, Patrick, Jordan, and my own brother Davis, I always felt like the little sister to all four of them. As I grew up, turns out Kyle handed down a lot of his witty sarcasm to me. We had a bunch of stuff in common and always had stuff to talk about and I tried to keep up as much as I could with his genius! The Texas Rangers were one of the things we loved together. In 2014, I met up with Kyle during a game and sat with him for about 6 innings. He proudly showed me his name plate on his seat at the stadium and we talked about how he had been going on dates and just all the ups and downs of online dating. He told me that the women "his age" that he met had some "baggage" that was complicated. His words! I told him well "how about you extend your age range to some younger ladies!" He went on to tell me that they wouldn't have anything in common and I then reminded him that I was 9 years younger than him and we got along great. Surprisingly he took my advice, (I felt accomplished)..and shortly after that he met his wife Courtney (who is close to my age)! They were perfect for one another. As fate had it, at their wedding I caught Courtney's bouquet, and I met my now husband two months later....online. 

Kyle you were a special person, husband, son, brother, and friend to many people. You're in my heart forever brother. <3

I first met Kyle when he was about 11 years old. Kayleen and Rick had moved to Cove with the boys, and we soon became FRAMILY. Many a game night, Spring Break trips, and summers at the pool ensued over the next 27 years.

Even at 11, Kyle was probably always one of the smartest people in the room. His wit (AKA gifted sarcasm), choice of words (sometimes to his parents' dismay), and knowledge were always well beyond his years. He was always in a hurry to move on to something more challenging...let's face it...as a kid he had no patience for anyone (including adults) who couldn't keep up with train of thought. When he was 17 and wanted to graduate early, I remember the great debate about why so soon...he responds, "because I can." And just like that, Kyle commenced on an adventure that included computer genius craziness, world travel, and a zeal for living in the moment.

As I write this today, remembering what a kind, generous, loving, adventurous, and brilliant man, son, friend, and husband you were- I have to smile and cry a little at the same time. I can hear you say, "Superfluous adjectives and too many commas,"just like you did in my 6th grade English class. 

You are in my heart forever!

Part two:
It is heartbreaking  to me that I can no longer get on Kyles case for taking my crown of “first born grand child” away from me. That I won’t hear anymore of his many adventures especially of the many he had left with his wife, Courtney. I hate that my friendship was cut short and that I can’t look for him at family functions to be my side kick. I feel cheated, as I’m sure everyone does, that our time was cut short. Kyle, I love you and your absence has already left a void in my heart. I miss you more then I can express already. The thought that I can’t just reach out to you is painful. My only happy thought is knowing  you are finally getting that well deserved sleep you were searching for. Keep flying high and know that you are so loved and missed. ❤️

The running joke between Kyle and I started at birth. I was to be the first grand baby for our grandparents but in true Kyle fashion he was born 15 days early hence stealing my crown and giving us something to jab each other with for the next 38 years. Growing up so far apart we didn’t get to spend much time together. Most of my memories when I think of our relationship is me being incredibly jealous of my “older” cousins intelligence. Kyle would use words and talk about things that I had no clue about and I know he loved every second of watching me squirm. As we became adults and with the help of social media our relationship grew. He still used words and talked about things I didn’t have a clue about but instead of beaming in those moments he would explain and teach me new things. At family events you would find the two of us usually next to one another. We share the same wit and sense of humor. Kyle would make me laugh so hard,when I think others in the room would wonder what was so funny. We like the same movies and tv shows. We both love to travel. As everyone knows Kyles travels were on a whole other level. I would be in awe listening to his stories. Our relationship changed from “jealous of annoying older cousin that was a know it all” to “respected and loved older brother”.  When we would connect with one another the conversation would always end up being and hour or more of us just gabbing back and forth, sharing and really engaging in each other’s lives. Our last messaging love fest  started with him sharing his Plex account with me since I had sent out a plea on Facebook for help acquiring the Harry Potter movies while in quarantine. He was quick to of course come and save the day. Once he helped his  technology challenged cousin get it all set up we got right to sharing our lives. He was super excited about his Tesla and shared pictures and videos. We messaged for two hours that night. It breaks my heart that I will no longer have any more those.

I will always cherish our memories together when we were kids and on family vacations but my favorite memories are after Eric and I got married and you would come visit us in OKC almost every weekend. Eric really enjoyed you as a friend and was a lot of fun watching you two compete in racquetball. Pretty sure you beat Eric every time. Also enjoyed the countless hours of conversations we had in our backyard about life. Our most recent visit with you was when you and Courtney took us to your favorite restaurant growing up that Uncle Rick brought you to, The Magic Time Machine! And you just had to get the “magic potion drink” with smoke coming out of it. Our girls still today talk about that dinner and what fun they had with you guys. Eric and I have reminisced so many stories about you lately and every time it warms our hearts. We miss you and not a day goes by that we don’t think about you. 
Love, 
Dannie, Eric, Summer & Ambree 

As I’ve been thinking through my memories of Kyle, I realized there isn’t a single memory that defines who Kyle is to me. It was his journey through his accomplishments, challenges and the stages of his life that define him for me. We’ve always lived hundreds of miles apart so I was unable to see much of this firsthand. Instead, I would hear about him through long talks with my sister, Kayleen.

We made several trips to “Cove” to see Kayleen, Rick and the boys. Kyle always impressed me with his intellect, confidence and wit. As he made it through college and started his career, I was always amazed at the places he traveled to, and even a little envious when he got his pilot’s license. Once he flew to see his Grandpa Jerry. While he was there, he helped bring grandpa home from the hospital so he could spend his final days at his house on the lake.

Of course, we were very happy when we heard Kyle was getting married. The first time we saw Kyle and Courtney together, it was obvious how they felt about each other.

The wedding was beautiful with Rick officiating and the scenery on the lake was stunning. The reception and dance were a blast with music, drinks, food and fireworks. Little did we know that would be the last time we saw Kyle in person.

It’s heartbreaking to think about what was lost that day. As I think about what the future could have been for Courtney and Kyle, I take some solace in knowing about all of the lives he touched. He will be greatly missed.

Courtney, Kayleen, Rick, Patrick and Jordan, we mourn with you for this loss. Our hearts and prayers are with you as you struggle to cope with this tragedy.

Rest easy Kyle knowing you left the world a better place simply by being a part of it. We will miss you!

Uncle Kraig


A Dad’s Message, not Goodbye (Part two)
My Song of Remembrance: Memories by Maroon 5
I advocated to my three sons to live life and don’t let life live you.  Well, Kyle lived life and did it exponentially well.  However, early on, I wasn’t sure if Kyle was interested in discovering true love, but was pleasantly surprised to learn he was searching.  Although there were struggles and disappointments, as there were for me as well, God and fate have a peculiar way of sometimes allowing two paths to collide and become that unstoppable force of true love.  Courtney became the balance and meaning in Kyle’s life and the force that gives life’s experiences undefinable meaning.

	What I have very recently discovered, is as parenting changes from the act of growing your child, or children, to an observational sharing of experiences, you shockingly realize that your child had actually grown you!  All three of my sons have contributed to this realization and for two of them, this effect will continue in my physical journey, but now there will forever be a void from the loss of my eldest son Kyle. This void that will perpetually exist due to the absence of my dear son Kyle in this physical life cannot be allowed to obscure the transcendent impact Kyle had on all of our lives, nor will I allow this void to overshadow the growth I have acquired and the growth I may still experience from the life long memories and the ongoing, unconditional, and unstoppable force of love I have for Kyle.
Son, may God keep you at peace in First Class.  I will see you in Heaven if God lets me out of Coach!
Rick Love, Your Dad!


A Dad’s Message, not Goodbye (Part One)
My Song of Remembrance: Memories by Maroon 5

	There are two things in a man’s life that transcend all others…that convey greater consideration, value and meaning in his rational actions and decisions through this physical life.  One is the discovery and commitment to his one true love; and the other is the unconditional love a man has for his child, or children.  A Dad dedicates a great part of himself to nurturing, guiding, coaching, facilitating, and supporting his children toward their own adulthood and their own path.
	I have been blessed with the discovery of my true love in Kayleen and with that, the blessing of three sons; Kyle, Patrick, and Jordan.  While attempting my best to guide and support them, I have had the joyful pleasure of observing, participating, and experiencing their hardships and celebrations in their growth.  
	With Kyle, as it is for most others, it was not always a pleasurable journey, but still was the sublime part of raising him.  Kyle’s intellectual wit was hilarious, charming, and at the same time very challenging.  But he developed and into a man that was honest, trustworthy, patient, resilient, caring, and valued family and close friends.  And yes, I can say patient because he ignored or remained silent when brainlessly behaving people were in his presence, but mostly for the patience Kyle exhibited toward me as a dad.  Resilient because Kyle, while dealing with multiple ailments, chose to seek out positive experiences to enrich his life; not to lie back seeking pity.  (Continued)........


If I could describe my cousin, Kyle, with one word I would use “selfless”. Through many family gatherings at Angel Fire, Copperas Cove, the ranch, or Easter camping I remember Kyle driving  10+ hours just to spend time with his family.  I was always so inspired that he would drive through the night to see loved ones even if it was just for one day. We will always carry your memory in our hearts. Rest In Peace, Kyle. 

“Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us everyday.”

My best memories of Kyle always include large family gatherings where Kyle would often travel great distances if only to be there for a few hours just to see his cousins. I specifically remember how impressed I was at his ability to drive through the night and into the mountains to be there Christmas morning at Angel Fire. 
          My two kids had the honor of being in Kyle and Courtney’s wedding and will always remember how important they felt.....even if the flower girl was a wild child :)   Great memories! You are forever in our thoughts Kyle, May you Rest In Peace.

Kyle was always a huge influence to me. I remember hearing about Kyle and that he was preparing to get his pilots license when I was just 10. As any other 10 year old would be, I was in awe. 

Later down the road, I heard that one of Kyle's passions was technology and the security of such. I found myself, yet again, in absolute awe. "That's so cool," I'd think to myself. "That's what I want to do."

My most vivid memory of Kyle was the wedding of him and Courtney. Simply watching everything unfold in front of me - the emotion between the two, the amount of love pouring from the friends and family that surrounded us - was such an amazing feeling.  "I want a relationship like that," I thought. "You can see how they care for each other so vividly."

Needless to say that Kyle didn't even have to be in one's daily life to have an impact on them. From the day I knew of his existence, he inspired me to strive for better, to make the most of the time we have here on Earth, and to be humble when you get a hold of  something worthwhile. 

My condolences to Courtney, Uncle Rick, Aunt Kayleen, Patrick, and Jordan. I wish I could be with you all through this. 

Whether you knew it or not, I've always looked up to you, Kyle. Thank you for being such a remarkable role model. Rest in peace. 

First, I want to express how full my heart has been with the outpouring of love and support we have received from our family, friends, and community. All of it has been tremendous, and we are so grateful. 
Kyle and I could not have been more polar opposites growing up, and I for one definitely lived up to my "annoying little brother" rep. We grew up always on a different page it seemed, but one of the few things we would become unshakably united in was the love and adoration we have for our parents. It is something I will forever cherish. 
I'll miss you big brother, and I love you very much.

I was blessed to have known Kyle as my math student in sixth grade. He was wise beyond his years and asked great questions.  He could understand concepts way outside the box.  Being able to know him as an adult and watch him succeed and marry Courtney was such a joy for me. He will be missed but in my heart forever.

My greatest memory of Kyle was at his and Courtney’s wedding. This night sticks out to me because it felt like it was spent celebrating not only him and Courtney, but also celebrating family in general. That night brought a lot of family and friends together where everyone could enjoy each others company, have a good time, and make memories: all under the family name of Love. 

It’s been incredibly hard for me to rationalize why the universe would take such a good person from the world so soon. Kyle was truly a big brother to me, and I know I was like a little sister to him. Yep- the annoying, teasing, pranking little sister- that was me. We had our fair share of laughs and inside jokes, shared “raised eyebrow” looks over dinner when something funny was going down. From the time we met, we just had that sibling bond that you can’t fabricate. Kyle would do anything for anyone, he was so caring. One of the first times we met, he drove me all the way to Austin to see my boyfriend at the time and he and Courtney stayed the weekend with me. He, of course, would go on for years saying I was a bump on a log during that trip because I had my headphones in instead of talking to them. That was just Kyle though. He’d go out of his way to do something kind for the people he cared about. And he was always there. He was there when I had to say goodbye to my beloved dog Droopy- he drove me home as I sat in the backseat sobbing. He cared for and loved my family as if they were his own blood, and he proved time and time again that he’d do anything for us. 
It’s impossible for me to know why he was taken from us so soon. We’re not privy to those secrets the universe holds. I want more time for Kyle than what he got, and goodness do I want more time for Courtney to be able to spend with him. But I do know this- in his time, Kyle truly left his mark on the world. Courtney, all I can say to you is this.. thank you. Thank you for bringing Kyle into my life and allowing me to be a part of y’all’s. Even though the pain of losing him is deep, I can say honestly, if I were given an option to have never known him and be spared all this pain and hurt, I wouldn’t take that option for the world. If there is a heaven, I hope it looks like Alaska, and is filled with Tesla’s, planes, Coke’s, and Slurpees, and one day Kyle and Courtney can meet again and never part.

The first time I met Kyle he was about 11 years old, my wife Sylvia and I had a “couples date” with Kayleen and Rick.  I remember thinking....I’m not sure we can be good friends with these guys because their oldest son (11) is smarter than me!  Well 27 years later and we’ve been best friends for most of them and I had the pleasure to watch Kyle become a man.  I always felt a “different aka special “ kind of connection to Kyle, partially because Kayleen would constantly say that the things I would say or the way I said them reminded her of Kyle!  Kyle had a big impact on my life, I always looked forward to hearing about his adventures.  Flying first class forever!

Kyle and I met when I joined Guardium in 2009.  We had a lot in common with baseball, technology, and traveling.  He taught me a lot about the latter two.  He and I kept an ongoing dialogue even though I only saw him in person a couple times since he moved outside the Boston area.  I'm going to greatly miss our conversations, it feels like such a tremendous loss to me.  

A great man,
son,grandson,brother,nephew,husband.
Kyle touched many lives throughout his
extensive journey We cherish our memories of Kyle as he was a blessing to the Love family 
May the Lord hold you close and comfort you during this difficult time 

My deepest condolences to the Love family. I wish I could take your pain away. Kyle was always such a sweet guy the few times I was around him. I was lucky to get to interact with him a handful of times when I hung out with Jordan. Kyle was very kind, welcoming, and I always enjoyed chatting with him. He was well spoken and full of interesting facts and antidotes. He was a stand up gentleman. Thinking and praying for all of you. ❤️

To a good man. He left his world a better place. Godspeed Kyle

I am so sorry and sad to hear about Kyle's passing. My deepest condolences to Courtney and Kyle's family for the great loss. Although we lived far away, Kyle was an awesome friend to my boyfriend, Jordan. I would hear about his travel stories often - he definitely loved to travel and always seemed to be in a different continent every month! Kyle had a big generous heart and showed us around the DFW area, the week of his wedding to Courtney. It was a lot of fun and we had a great time!

Not to mention, Kyle once picked me up one late night from the DFW airport after multiple flight cancellations to my destination. Kyle had no hesitation to help house me for the night - I didn't even ask! I just got a message that he was going to pick me up in 20 minutes, wow! I really appreciated his generosity, kindness, funny and adventurous character. Kyle will be greatly missed. 

I don't know where to begin. Kyle was one of the most honorable, loyal, and adventurous people I've known, and I always treasured our friendship. He was extremely generous, sharing everything from airline miles to his media server :) We both loved Doctor Who and I remember how much he loved Bad Wolf.  I'm including a picture from a business trip we took together to a conference in Boston. We met a group of people there who became our friends, doing everything together over the two or three days we were there. On the last night, there was a party with live music, food trucks, photo booths, everything, and at one point we were all sitting outside having a drink and singing along to Billy Joel I think it was. And Kyle quietly said, so I could just barely hear him: "Is this real life?"  I feel like that captured the wonder with which he treated life and always took on new adventures. I'll miss him so much. (The angels have the phone box.)

When Kyle was just a little fellow, he would get my goat by going around the house and reprogramming anything that was computerized.  I should have known then that our little grandson would be a computer whiz when he grew up.  Then there was the time when Kyle and Papa battled it out in the pickup over what type of music would be played on the radio.  Kyle was not big on Papa’s country western stuff.  But guess what?  Papa won and from that day on Kyle and his grandpa had a special close relationship.  We watched our Kyle grow into a fine, successful young man.  We are very proud of who he became as an adult and watched with pride as he married the love of his life, beautiful Courtney.  Our hearts are broken now but Kyle will live on in our hearts forever.  Mema and Papa Love

We both met Kyle working at the TCU Help Desk in 2002. The job was not too serious so we had plenty of time to get to know each other and became great friends. There are so many great memories from attending Ranger's games (where we ate too much cotton candy) to traveling the world in our 20's celebrating New Year's Eve in amazing places from New York, Seattle, London, and Madrid among others. We loved our tradition of celebrating New Year's together from college until Court and I had our first child. 

From Michelle: 
Kyle and I really bonded over our love for Smallville. Well, I definitely had a love for the show, but we  always hung out on Wednesday nights to watch together. He would listen to whatever I was stressed about and we would enjoy a good laugh. He was my sidekick for movies, church, and any other fun ideas that came up, especially during the summer before my senior year. Without a doubt, I have always considered Kyle to be my best guy friend in college.  

From Court:
Your subtle wit and sometimes not so subtle rhetoric impacted me immensely over the course of our friendship and I'm already missing those genuine conversations between turns on Words With Friends. I once told Kyle "you are always on the edge of awesome."  He was full of unique knowledge and always thought of ways to share that knowledge with just the right person.
Kyle  was a great listener, had a generous heart, and was always ready for an adventure. He'll be greatly missed and we will always remember the memories we all made together and cherish them.

I remember getting my first real babysitting job, it was babysitting a very young Kyle.  I was so honored that my sister entrusted her beautiful baby boy to my care.  He was always a good baby and I enjoyed every minute I got to spend with him.  

As he got older, the great memories continued.  I remember one year we were all celebrating Easter at my mother's house in Omaha (Kyle's Grandma Pat) and we were having an Easter egg hunt in the backyard.  Kyle and Patrick were there along with my two boys,  all having a great time.  In the course of all the egg hunting fun, Kyle got his new white tennis shoes dirty while running around collecting eggs.  Kyle was having none of this! He got upset and needed his shoes cleaned off immediately after the egg hunt was over.  Kyle was all of  6 years old and already had a very strong sense of properly taking care of himself and his belongings.  He was always a very mature,  responsible little man and grew into such a kind, wonderful, and loving person.  He will  be missed by everyone that was lucky enough to know and love him;  because you couldn't know him without loving him.

Fly High Kyle...……………..Aunt Kristine, Kari and Adam


I could not believe the news this morning when I read about the passing of Kyle Love.  Kyle and I met and became good friends at Copperas Cove High School, where we were both part of the marching band.  I have so many fond memories of Kyle's friendship, and we both talked each other through some troubles.  After high school, we stayed in touch and reconnected through social media.  Every year on my birthday, Kyle would never fail to post a personal, hilarious message on my Facebook page.  There will be a big hole left behind without Kyle.  My sincere condolences to Kyle's bride and family during this time.  My own family and I will keep all of you in our prayers.  Godspeed, Kyle!  You will be truly missed.

Kyle Edward Love is our nephew and our kids’ cousin.  Even though we’ve never lived in the same state or even close enough to visit frequently, when we got the chance to, our visits with Kyle and the rest of his family were always a joyous, meaningful occasion.
For me, his Aunt, I remember the time it was just him and I in his truck cruising along, chatting about this & that, him giving me a “tour” of Copperas Cove, pointing out various places of interest along the way to the video store where he worked.  This time alone with him is a favorite for me as I realized then and there how great of a kid he was; funny, smart, kind, and adventurous and I get to call him my nephew.
We are grateful to have attended and witness his marriage to Courtney, just four short years ago.  What a beautiful day it was for them and for us to celebrate with them.  The Slushies and Fireworks clearly were a hit that day!
In 1992, we were honored to have Kyle serve as candle lighter in our wedding.  I’ve shared a photo from that day. 
Kyle, you were taken from all of us way too soon. Our hearts are broken without you here although the memories we have of you remain in our hearts forever and we will see you again in our own time.
Uncle Kraig, Aunt Denise and cousins Kaleb & Derek


I worked with Kyle at Verodin and we had many ridiculous days troubleshooting the silliest of problems. My favorite was building out something new and when we finally finished we decided a steak dinner was in order. He laughed at my ability to remember our waiter's name from the getgo and we traded travel/airline stories. He was always proud of his AA status and I made fun of him for it constantly. I am so sorry he is gone, I'm so sorry Courtney I can't even imagine. 

To Kyle's Family, Wife, and Loved ones. I am deeply sadden to hear of the unfortunate news. I recently heard the news through channels of our "Saxophone Group" on facebook since we are basically family. Prayers to you all. 

I knew Kyle from High School and Band. We played Saxophone together always competing for a chair in band or a place on the marching field. We competed a lot. He will be missed and always thought of. 

Again, my deepest condolences! 

Worked a summer with Kyle at Glen Lake Camp and Retreat Center. What an incredible summer! Each week of the summer we would have a new group of campers, and each week Kyle would give everything he had to serving campers and sharing the love of Christ! We use to take part of the camp nap time - take all of the guys cabins to the gym for a camp-wide dodgeball game. I remember one day he hurt his knee pretty bad in one of those dodgeball tournaments, and STILL continued to serve on crutches for part of that summer. The campers and his fellow staff loved how much Kyle put into serving campers and it was a joy to serve a summer with him at Glen Lake Camp! 

Kyle we will miss you! 

My heart broke when I saw the news of Kyle's passing. I remember him from our time together in the HS band at CCHS. He was such a good kid...team player all the way. He had such a positive aura and was such a huge flirt. I think he hit on pretty much every female sax player lol! We lost touch after HS, but I will never forget what a warm, kind, and generous person he was. Wishing peace for his family during this extremely difficult time. 

I have never met Kyle in person,but I know him through Courtney. Courtney and I are colleagues and friends. She would often speak of her husband and you could just tell that he was a good man and they loved each other very much.
My deepest sympathy goes out to Courtney and all their family.

I was Kyle's roommate in college at UTA for 3 years.  My Favorite Kyle Love story was volunteering to bring my Aunt from the airport to Mandy and Brian Yohn's wedding.  Cynthia Herman said he drove her like a madman the whole way to East Texas.  My dad tried to pay him and he refused.  

I still have the photo of Kyle and my daughter Jessica going to her first prom some 20 plus years ago.  Both were dressed to the 9's and as happy and excited as two young teens could possibly be on her prom night.  He was so perfect and respectful that even I was impressed with his genuine concern for her safe return.
As always, time and distance has a tendency to separate young lives.  However, Jeffrey and Kyle seemed to navigate through it  without loosing contact.  Jeffrey would tell me from time to time about Kyle and what he would be doing and where he would be.  I admired the fact that the both of them maintained a long term long lasting relationship into their adulthood.  I am proud of the fact that Kyle was truly, a trusted friend and confidant to Jeffrey and Jeffrey to him. 
Kyle had a lasting, loving impact on my family and will be sorely missed by Scott, Jeffrey and Jessica.  Blessing young man!

Growing up in Texas, my brother had just a handful of friends that came around the house.  Kyle was one of Jeff's best and closest friends through-out high school and this friendship carried over into adulthood.  As a teenager, I was always the tag along with my brother and his "crew". Hollywood Video seemed to be their go-to hang out spot and it got me out of the house.  What a relic now! As an adult, I tended to be the chauffeur while he and my brother attended Texas Rangers games in Arlington ballpark.  I never got to go in with them!!!! I guess boys only club:)  A couple of things that always stood out to me about Kyle was the whitty sense of humor he had and he was probably one of the kindest and sweetest friend my brother had.  I can't honestly recall a day when I was around him that he was ever upset.  He was just infectious to be around.   I did have the honor to accompany Kyle to his high school prom and it was one of the most memorable evenings I had as a teenager.  Being the little sister, my parents only allowed me to go hang out with people they trusted and he was one of them.  They tried their best to keep me sheltered inside:) It hurts my heart for his family, his wife, and closest friends.  I always enjoyed seeing online his travels and greatest adventures whether personal or work.  He for sure will be greatly missed.

Kyle was truly one of a kind - smart, funny, genuine, and I'd be lying if I didn't mention stubborn! He was a great friend who would make you think, laugh, and embark on the most ridiculous adventures just to prove it was possible. I always liked to think of myself as somewhat well traveled, but then there's Kyle and his map of flights and all of the places he'd been and all of his stories from around the world.

Kyle was a caring friend and he was always looking to help out. One day a series of books just showed up at my house randomly, postmarked from the London Airport and all of Karl Pilkingtons books were on my doorstep... references to the Ricky Gervais Podcast, the TV Show "An Idiot Abroad", among others. We talked about the show every week after it aired, much like The Office or Southpark before it. This was so Kyle. He'd recommend I watch a new TV show and how it had so-and-so in it or the plot was similar to something else he knew I liked and how I needed to watch it. He basically always got it right and it'd be an instant hit.

Another time, my girlfriend was travelling back to Canada from University and had her flight cancelled at DFW. No questions asked, Kyle picked her up in the middle of the night, gave her a place to stay, and drove her back to the airport in the morning - the thought of taking a cab didn't even cross his mind. That's just the kind of guy he was.

I'm going to miss those random facts about Airplanes, Airlines, and Hotels that I'm pretty sure even the pilots and hotel staff wouldn't know. I'll miss talking about random countries, the ridiculously overkill computer equipment that you always seemed to buy, and our random chats in general.

My sincere condolences to Courtney and all of Kyle's family and friends. This Slurpee is for you, Kyle.
