Kyle loved the outdoors. He was a fisherman, kayaker and camper. Being out in nature was when he felt at peace the most. He was a gardener at heart and would plant one every year, hoping to produce beautiful vegetation for family and friends to enjoy.

Kyle had quite the creative streak in him when it came to the craft of wood whittling. The more he worked at the skill, the better he became.

A celebration of Kyle's life will be held at 11:30 am on Saturday, June 8, 2024 at Bold Springs Baptist Church with the Reverend Allen Whitley officiating. Kyle dedicated his soul to Christ just recently, and is celebrating his whole body and mind with his Savior in heaven.
