A young soul gone too soon. 🥺 I only knew you a short time at RPT, but what a strong amazing man. Now the Angels and the Universe will guide you on your next journey. Peace and strength to your loved ones in this time of loss.
Kyle, oh my we were constantly goofing around and not doing what we were supposed to in Joe’s class. Then you ended up being the brother of one of my friend’s later on. Who would have thought. I will miss ya Kyle. Always had fun with you.
My dearest Rachel, I am here and will always be. We have been through so much in the past year losing people. This is unreal to me still. I am here with you and will walk by your side through this journey too. Good and the bad sis. I got you.
Vern, I am so unbelievably sorry. You two have always been so close. All I can say is remember Kyle will always be with you in spirit. I know you cannot text him or call him but just talk to him out loud. He can hear you. I believe that.
The Rents, you raised amazing children. All three of them. You did a wonderful job. No parent should have to do what you are doing right now. Words cannot even begin to express the sympathy I feel for you both. This doesn’t get easier; I hate when people say that…You both will get stronger.
I love all of you so very much.
Thank you for the kind words Amanda.
Such a beautiful service. Thank you for allowing us to stream and be a part of celebrating Kyle’s life and legacy. He truly was one of a kind and will remain in so many of our hearts forever. His spirit, humor and positivity was unmatched and he loved his family and friends so deeply. We can learn so much from how he lived his life and find solace in him living it out to the absolute fullest. My heart is broken for you all and what you’re having to go through. My deepest sympathies and prayers to Vern, Rachel, Stephanie, Bruce and Annette. Sending you all so much love, comfort and strength for the days and years to come. Rest easy and peaceful my dear friend, Kyle.
