People were drawn to Kyle's fun personality. He was witty, and loved playing practical jokes and making people laugh. He also had a serious side, such as the time he asked about and was given an old car full of junk out of a yard on the reservation. After cleaning out the entire trunk and passenger compartment, he got his dad to help him mechanic on it, and then gave it away to a family that he knew needed a car. Kyle was a great brother and friend. He lived life to the fullest and loved with his whole heart. He was rich in friends of all ages. He is survived by his parents, Rob and Ann, his sister Tara, brother Darren, and grandparents Joan Burnside, and Darrell and Bev Keating, and many loving aunts, uncles and cousins.
