    I had the good fortune to be Kyles instructor while he was an apprentice. Not only was he one of our best students he was a very talented operator with a very bright future. He spent all of this years class working on a new dam that we built because he was so talented. I cannot wait for it to fill with water for all to see what he built. I will never look at it and not think of him.

    While I haven’t known Kyle very long, man, does he know how to leave an impression! I don’t think I ever saw him when he wasn’t smiling, grinning, laughing—and when he wasn’t with his love, Shelbie. The two of them brought warmth with them wherever they went. My heart goes out to Melinda and Shelbie, and to all of the families affected by such a deep loss. God be with all of you to provide strength and comfort.

    As the Local 101 Apprenticeship Administrative Manager, I had the oppertunity to work with Kyle on several occations. He was very bright, pleasant and a very good operator. Kyle was always there to help fellow Apprentices or anyone who asked. He will be missed but never forgotten by the Apprenticeship.

    We are so sorry for the loss of your son, Kyle. May God guide you each day in your time of sorrowing? Watch and welcome your Sheppard’s to come to your sides. They will be God sent, for comfort that day.
    We lost our 26 yr old son, 4 yrs ago. He completed his Local Union 533 training and all of his brothers and sisters come with open arms. Jesus is saving our lives through these times of sorrow, as I pray that His will, guilds you through these storms too. May God Bless your family and friends.

    I met Kyle a couple of yrs ago when he was working here in Shreveport,La on the railroad in front of my home. We introduced ourselves and spent everyday after work together. goofing off and me showing him around town. He always knew how to make me laugh even when I was down. My family and I were devastated when he went back home to Kansas. But it seemed to amaze us. He came to La every weekend and if not every then every other to visit mud ride and do whatever else sounded good. He drove some trucks that i was suprised they made it. Just to come see us. When I heard what had happened my heart dropped. He was like family. Im truely sorry for his families loss as well as his finacee’s. But i know kyle. and while yall take this long journey ahead of yall he will be right there with yall. i love you kyle sooo much. until we meet again!

    I wanted to compose you the little note to say thank you once again with the fantastic opinions you’ve contributed in this case. It is really seriously generous with you to offer unhampered all a lot of folks would have marketed as an e book to help make some money on their own, mostly now that you might have tried it in the event you wanted. These advice also acted to be a fantastic way to be aware that many people have the identical keenness just like my very own to realize a little more on the topic of this matter. I am certain there are some more fun periods in the future for individuals that looked over your blog.
