I very much miss, and love my brother. And want to say that the man who MURDERED him will be judged the way he needs to be judged; by God. I find it very difficult to forgive the people who knew and never came forward, who did this and drove away, because not only did they kill my brother, they killed a piece of every single one of my family members. I love you Kyle and I think of what life would be like if you were still here.

Its been 3 years and still no closure has been found. I still miss you my not quite brother. Not a day goes by that I don't remember at least one of your antics and think of you with a smile. I love you kid.

Still not forgotten

Still not forgotten. Such a shock this was and still is... he was his own person and a great one at that. Sweet, fun, and his eyes seemed to... literally sparkle... it was the craziest thing. He is loved and missed.

Gosh Kyle was the coolest big brother i ever had. I think about him all the time and miss him soooo much. There were so many people Kyle knew that will miss him. I will always miss him and will keep his memory alive as long as i live. thanks for all the good years Kyle:)

I am so sorry for your loss. The man that caused this was my ex husband (the first car). Since this my children have taken a loss that the same man, their father commited suicide. I know there are no words I can say to bring Kyle back but please understand I know what the pain feels like. I hope with time the family can begin to heal. Good bless the family and friends that this has effected.

He was my cousin and my best friend. Please help us find who took him away.

i miss this kid more than i thought i ever would. although i only knew him i love him more than my own brother he made a big impression on me i will never forget KAR i love you man

Kyle is my best friend that I've known since third grade, he has been there for I as a brother and I loved him as such, his passing is devastating, my son is named after him due on Jan 3rd, I hope to prolong his memory as I shall never forget him, much love to him and his family in this time of morning. he was taken to soon and any help is greatful. his family needs the support I will be there for them as I hope all of Kyle's friends should be. rest in peace kyle and I will see you soon Leky!!!
