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
