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.

Doug and Lisa,
There are not words enough to express our sympathy for you.
In the past two months we have lost my dad and my brother to the heavens, but to lose a child is so wrong in so many different ways and we cannot imagine the depths of your pain.
Hold your memories dear and let them be a beacon of light during the darkness.
Time does not heal all wounds, but only softens the edges.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this excrutiating time.
