I knew Kyle for over 12 years and I saw him grow into a super smart, super tall and super handsome young man. It’s still so hard to process his passing… He was a sweetheart and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Godspeed kiddo!

Teresa, Don and Aubrey,
We are so saddened by your loss. We will always remember young Kyle on the soccer field with his friends, his Woodlawn days and having fun with Somjai. We enjoyed running into him at sports events. He had grown into an adventurous, kind, talented young man. We are thinking of you all and sending love and prayers.
Don, Teresa, and Aubrey, I am filled with memories of a polite and very tall Kyle walking down the halls of St. John School. I can’t guess your grief. We have lost a bright light.
I remember Kyle as my fourth-grade student at Woodlawn. He was so intelligent and curious about the world. He was kind to everyone and had such a lovely personality and sense of humor. I am saddened by this news. Please hang in there, I am thinking of you all during this difficult time.
Don, Teresa and Aubrey,
We are so sorry to hear about Kyle. We have been praying for your family and will continue to in the coming days. May God bring comfort and peace to each of you.
Weegee just called to tell me. We spent a lot of time with Kyle in the gym during and after school during Woodlawn days. We both were really fond of him. What a just genuinely nice and kind boy. We feel for you.
Dear Duncan Family- you are close to our hearts at this difficult time. Kyle and Nora remained friends after middle school, and Nora adored him. I can only imagine the depth of your heartache from losing your beautiful boy. Know that he was loved by his friend, Nora. She will always keep his memory alive. Sending you so much love and light.
Dear Don and Teresa,
Kyle’s passing is a tragedy I can’t seem to put words to. I am blessed to have shared two canoe trips with Kyle, and the hard work, humor, and joy he brought were both genuine and infectious. I am deeply sorry for your loss, and I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Teresa, Don, and Aubrey, my sincerest condolences to all of you for the loss of Kyle. Both my daughter, Sofia (Aubrey’s classmate at St John) and I are deeply heartbroken by the news of Kyle’s passing. I pray the rosary daily and have, and will continue to, offer, my rosary up for Kyle and your family.
