I just found out about Kyle. I am so sorry for your loss! I knew kyle from the 6th grade at age 11 all the way through high school. He was so young. I wanted to post it up on my fb, because i know there are a lot of people that didnt even know how long he battled, or that he had even passed! RIP you will always be remembered!

To Kyle's wife and daughter,

I only knew Kyle a short time, and then only through work, but it didn't take much interaction with him to be amazed by his spirit. His attitude would never lead one to believe that there was a single thing wrong in his life. I later learned that Kyle had been battling brain cancer, and I was completely shocked. Kyle had been battling brain cancer for many years, yet you would never know it from the way he carried himself. Always optimistic and hopeful. His bravery is inspiring, especially to me. My 2 year old daughter Lila is battling brain cancer, and Kyle was one of the first people to reach out and offer support and guidance when she was diagnosed in October. Granted, he had a unique perspective from which to offer advice, but to be so positive and encouraging and available was extremely comforting. Kyle taught me some very valuable lessons and has helped me in ways he'll never know.

You are blessed to have had such a kind and generous husband and father.

My prayers are with you,
Mike Giroux
