I have two GREAT memories of Kyle and thankfully I will keep them forever. :) 1) Huge party at my house on Main Street in Ellensburg. He and Sean decided to invite everyone from the Pass to my house for an impromptu party. Nice! Kyle got all lit up and ended up passing out on the little loveseat in my room. The next morning I found him all curled up with a disco ball. Really funny at the time and a great visual to still have but hard to imagine that same person now gone. 2) Kyle and I carpooled to work at the Pass in his sweet Barbie jeep right after he'd gotten it. He was really proud of it. When we parked to get out a piece of garbage fell out. I asked him if he was going to pick it up and with a straight face - no kidding - he said, "Nah, cause that's how punk I am". It made me laugh then and still does today. He wasn't kidding…I don't think. I've not talked to Kyle in close to ten years and to this day he can still make me smile with fond memories. To me that is a tribute to his character and the man it appears he grew into. I send my love and prayers to his family and friends. He will be missed. Stunned.
