My son, Cody, lived in Kyle's house. They have only been friends for 2 months but Cody was crying when he called us on Friday evening. I can only imagine the loss you are experiencing right now. May you find peace knowing that Kyle resides in heaven now. We lost our 23 year old niece to cancer 1 1/2 years ago and all I can tell you is that a part of you will now be missing. Surround yourself with friends and family that will provide you with love, faith, encouragement, and hope. Bo certainly helped Cody through the weekend.
We enjoyed having him here at our home for 2 nights. I know Cody loves Bo and if you ever need another place for him to live, please contact us. May God hold you up through these difficult days, months, and years. Our prayers are with you. Rick and Diane Hanson

Craig,Lisa and Jim,
May you and your families find peace in knowing that Kyle touched so many lives with his smile, out going and fun loving personality! And kindness!
Kyle was a great youngman. We always enjoyed the time that he came to our home with Josh. He was always respectful,kind to my children and always with a smile.
This world is a better place because of the time he spent here, living his life to the fullest seemed to be high on his agenda and heck why not we are only here for a time.
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. God will give you comfort in the days ahead. Trust in Him and try to find some peace in all of this.
