Kyle D Johnson
April 14, 2008
Kyle Douglas Johnson, 18, passed away April 14, 2008. Funeral services will be held at 11 am Friday at Lutheran Church of the Cross, 1701 8th Street SW, Altoona. Burial will follow at Powers-Warren Cemetery. Visitation will be held from 5 to 8 pm Thursday at the Church.
Kyle came into this world to brighten the lives of others on New Years Day 1990, in Des Moines to Doug and Lisa Johnson. He attended school at Southeast Polk, where he was a senior and mentor to many teammates and students at SEP.
At home he was such a loving son, brother, nephew, cousin, and grandson. At school he would go out of his way to help someone–anyone in need. Kyle truly enjoyed working together with his dad on the ball fields and at home. He grew to be a truly good person, always eager to help others. He was looked up to by many and loved by all who knew him. He touched many lives in his few short years. Words cannot express how much he will be missed.
Kyle was a captain of the football team in his senior year and ran track. He would have graduated with the class of 2008.
Kyle is loved by his parents, his sister, Julianne Johnson, his grandmother, Marianne Caudill, his aunt, Tracey Caudill, his uncle and aunt, Steve and Kim Caudill, his cousin, Elizabeth Caudill, and his uncle, Dave Johnson. Kyle was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Melvin and Sharon Johnson.
Memorial contributions may be directed to Lutheran Church of the Cross or SE Polk Dollars for Scholars.

Our hearts go out to the whole family. Losing a loved one is very hard, but just know that Kyle was a very special young man, that brought joy to all who he touched. I remember the days that he would stop by and hang out with my boys. I always knew him as very polite, and just a good kid to be around.
Thank you for sharing him with us all.

Doug and Lisa,
Please accept our family's deepest and most sincere condolences to you and all of your extended families with the loss of your son. We have buried all of our parents and grandparents as well as two younger sisters, so we can share some of your sorrow and pain. However, all of what we've been through cannot come close to the loss of a child -- it has to be the most difficult loss one can experience.
Please know that you are all in our prayers for our Lord to be especially close to you at this painful time. Your days will become a little bit easier in the weeks to come and we hope you take a little comfort in knowing that he is now joining with past loved ones in looking over you and will be there for you, too.
We hope and pray that the love, caring and most abundant Blessings of our Lord will be with all of you.
Rick, Rose, Rick & Katelyn Breuss
