It is overwhelming the number or lives Kyle has touched in his 20 years. And although his time seemed short, his memory will last a lifetime. They say life is a dance. Everyday Kyle danced the dance. Usually to his own beat but thats why we loved him. He had that contagious grin. You couldn't help but shake your head, laugh, and follow suit. Kyle could make you laugh without even trying to be funny. A gift often admired.

Kyle was a many number of things. Stubborn was definitely one of them. He was going to live life his way. End of discussion. I think you have all experienced "stubborn Kyle" at one point or another. But he also had a heart of gold. He was going to joing the air force in January. He saw the air force as an opportunity to travel the world, experience new adventures, and develop a new career. He is now in a place where there are no battlefields or wars to be won.

Kyle was a charmer. He definately had his own Luaders' swag.

He was a son, a brother, and a friend to many.

Kyle had a zest for life. He found pleasure in its simpliciites. Sunday football, music, spending time with family, playing pasttime games with friends, funny movies, and man did he love himself some subway and jbox. If Kyle taught us anything it is to live life to the fullest. Live with no regrets. Never take life too seriously. And laugh everyday. We should all learn from him. Do not mourn his death but celebrate his life.
