First I'd like to say that I'm deeply sorry for your loss. I went to school with kyle since Avondale if I. Recall. And high school. He always had big smile that made ppl smile more because of his! We weren't close friends but I did enjoy talking with him. We even went to alot of WWE ppv at the Jan cinema back in the day. He love his wrestling like I did and would always get right into the matches. I remember one time we where having a feud. Not real.life feud but just acting out the wrestlers. I was the bad guy and he was the superstar. He gave me the good ol stone cold stunner and pinned me right there! His buddy's went nuts cuz he was the champ! It was a great feeling! I hope that he up there getting the 1,2,3 pin fall in the best ring of them all up there. My thoughts and prays go to the family. I thought I share this Lil story cuz it will always be good one to me

Chenda, Bill, Walter and family. I am so very sorry for your loss. Kyle was such a great guy and an inspiration to his peers. So loved by all who knew him. I always looked forward to subbing at The Comp, and Kyle was one of the reasons why. He had such a light. You couldn't be down if Kyle was around. I also work at the arena, so even after Kyke graduated I still had the pleasure of seeing him at many arena hockey games and the like. I can't remember a Bud Country where I didn't have the pleasure of chatting with Kyle and his Grandma. Grande Prairie won't be the same without him. Rest in Peace Kyle. Until we meet again. Ms. Watson.
