My deepest condolences to the Welch family during this difficult time. Kyle was a bright young man and a pleasure to have in class. We (his UNI professors and colleagues) will all miss him and what was sure to have been his important contributions to the field of health promotion.

Dear Welch Family,
I didn't know Kyle very long, I met him this past August and he was in spanish class with me everyday. He was a really nice guy, and became a pretty good friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this tough time.

Our prayers are with the family and friends of Kyle. We watched as Kyle grew from a toddler to a young man. Remembering Kyle tossing the football with Craig, coming home after school and having Sammy pull him down the block on his skates. God bless all of you in the loss of this fine young man who touched many in his short life.

It was always a pleasure to have Kyle at our house to watch football with Grant, Josh, Ryne and Andrew over the years. There was a special friendship among this group of young men and it was fun to watch their friendship grow. During college years they all went different directions in life, but their friendship continued. Our hearts are broken by the loss of Kyle. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Kyle you will be missed!!

I will never forget that incredibly beautiful little boy - we knew him through scouts, baseball, soccer, Westridge, playing at our house with Paul. And he grew into an equally handsome young man. Gone too soon. I just know his mother was there to greet him. May your pain lessen over time knowing that all of us are grieving with you. You are in our prayers. Mary

My God, I think of all the crap I gave Ann about Kyle. I stole his senior picture off her desk so many times and put it on mine! We always got a laugh from that. I pray that over time your pain will fade but your memories will become even more vivid. Ann was so proud of what a good kid he was, and she was always smiling when she said it. The world is a better place because he was in it. Blessings and much love to all of you.
