Honoring Kyle Needham: Supporting His Family’s Next Chapter
Kyle Lawrence Needham
December 17, 1978 – April 14, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden passing of Kyle Lawrence Needham, beloved partner, father, son, and friend, who left us far too soon on April 14, 2025, at the age of 46.

Kyle was known for his immense kindness, generosity, and quiet strength. A devoted partner to Jennifer Marcomb and a loving father to Van and Nash, Kyle's world revolved around his family. His boys were the light of his life, and his love for them was boundless.

An accomplished carpenter and homebuilder, Kyle poured his talent and passion into every project from the Bay Area to the Midwest, leaving behind not only homes, but a legacy of care and craftsmanship. He was an avid outdoorsman who felt most at peace on a bike trail, casting a fishing line, or soaking up the dry heat of the Southwest. His early love for skiing launched him into competitive freestyle skiing, eventually earning him a spot in the 1998 X Games Big Air competition and a feature in Powder Magazine.

While we are heartbroken by his loss, we are coming together to honor Kyle’s memory by supporting the people he cherished most: Jennifer, Van, and Nash as they navigate life without him. This fundraiser will help ease immediate memorial and household expenses, provide ongoing living support for the family, and future educational and well-being needs for Van and Nash.

In addition to donations, another meaningful way to support the family is by patronizing Jennifer’s small business, New Leaf Home Furnishings, located at 2449 Pierce Drive #3 Spring Grove, IL.

Your support of her store during this time not only honors Kyle’s legacy but directly helps sustain the family’s livelihood.

Any amount truly helps and if you are unable to give, simply sharing this page is a powerful act of support.

Thank you for supporting our dear friend and her boys during this heartbreaking time.

With Immense Gratitude,
Amber Rinkenberger, Jennifer Thill, Kelly Lindgren and Stacy Twarowski
