We have appreciated the donkeys being chosen to benefit at such a sad time. Our thoughts are with you all. We were touched to receive donations collected in Kyle's memory. These kind gestures of help and support will certainly aid us in our work. We care for over 6,600 donkeys on a daily basis on Sanctuary farms in the UK, Ireland and Europe and this will also enable us to give comfort and medical aid to others less fortunate through our international projects and partners. We are most grateful for Kyle being remembering in this way. Thank you.

It's taken me a bit to write my final thoughts and come to grips with the reality that you are really gone. Kyle, you are so dearly missed! We first met at Clements when I started almost 3 years ago. You had started your time here just before I did. While I was your boss at work, we also became friends. As our trust in one another started to build, I got to know more about YOU! You loved golf, animals and nature. You were funny and sometimes sarcastic (which I loved). You were strong-willed and determined. You always lent an extra hand and you had character! One of the thing I admired most about you was your accountability and positivity towards your own personal growth. You never gave up and you always put up a fight. When I didn't hear from that day, my heart sank. You were always so responsive and you shared personal life stories with me so it wasn't like you. When we received the news of your passing our entire team felt a void to our little "family" that cannot be filled. We have mourned for you. We have prayed and continue to pray for your family, sister and niece (who you always talked about) and especially your mother. We have laughed and cried sharing memories and stories of your time here with us. But the hard truth is we have lost your physical presence here with us. We take comfort in knowing the memories, your bright and joyful spirit, and the things you have taught each of us will live on through everyone you have touched and impacted. I am truly sorry I could not make it "across the pond" to bid you one last farewell; however, I do think you were here with us all today as we gathered as your "US family" to remember you today. It's not goodbye, but it's "see you later mate!" We love you, appreciate, you, and will cherish you forever. - your Scholars family

Kyle, we weren’t particularly close having just been a colleague, but to hear you’re no longer with us is heartbreaking. I never saw you without a smile, a ray of joy… You always had time for everyone and were happy to chat to anyone, making us all chuckle. Thank you for all the positivity, rest easy pal.
