Hello. We are Kyle's aunties: Michelle & Summer. Like so many who knew Jonathan Kyle, our hearts are completely shattered at losing him. Kyle was such a bright light of positivity and delight in this world. Anyone who spent any time at all with him would lead with this sentiment. We can feel you nodding your head reading this because it's just so deeply true. He was a truly big-hearted soul.

Kyle's whole family is devastated. This loss was so unexpected. Losing someone we love is heartbreaking under any circumstances, of course, but an accidental slip and fall loss like this brings a kind of unbelievable surrealness to it.

We have already received so many loving requests for a way to be a part of creating a gathering that honors and celebrates how much we all love Kyle. We've created this page to meet those requests.

We are all so grateful for the outpouring of love and sharing of memories about sweet (and often hilarious) times with Kyle. Please keep those coming. Your stories and photos of times you shared with Jonathan Kyle bring so much comfort. We've created a place to gather those stories and photos by submitting them here. Thank you so much for sharing these with us.

And if you are inclined to contribute to help us create the kind of celebration of life that Kyle so deserves, we are deeply grateful for your gift as well. We know that Kyle created a beautiful village of friends and loved ones wherever he went and it does bring some solace to feel his community gather around him and his family at this time.

Celebration of Life to be Thursday, August 15th 2024. Time and location to be determined.

Update July 18: It's so hard to describe the feeling of seeing how much love Jonathan Kyle and his family are surrounded by through this page. Our beautiful community has already exceeded the goal we initially set. As we start to plan and secure arrangements, we have already spent past the initial goal. We will keep you updated here as we move through the planning process.
