Growing up he attended Merrill Area Public Schools and Baldwin-Woodville High School, graduating with the Class of 2003. He was active in Choir, Drama, Tennis and Forensics.

Kyle continued his education at Augsburg College in Minneapolis where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree with a major in history. He was privileged to sing in the Augsburg College Choir and be part of the Choir’s tour of the Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.

He was presently working at Midwest Woodturners of Spring Valley where they specialize in “pour your own epoxy” charcuterie boards and custom tables.

Kyle was an avid fan of Minnesota sports teams: Twins, Vikings and Timberwolves. Kyle enjoyed camping, biking, hiking and especially family time at the cabin in western Minnesota. He loved spending time with his nieces and nephew, building snow forts, playing soccer and video games. He was known to “sneak” them a piece of his favorite candy… Starbursts or Sour Patch Kids.

Our family’s hope is that each one of us would honor Kyle’s kind and faithful spirit by, each day, trying to understand those who are struggling in this life, being kind, offering a caring smile, living for justice for all, living out the words of scripture; ‘God has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8
