Kyle, you're responsable for one of the best days of my life. Your kindness and your positive energies meant a lot. On that specific day, on the penthouse of the hotel, right before you left Brazil to go touring you told me that 'we will meet again someday' and believe that. You've gone too soon man, but one day we will meet again and drink again. Thanks brother! 

Just miss you more than words can say. Think about you and miss you every day man. 

Kyle, your smile and gracious heart will never fade my friend. Rest easy.

RIP My Friend. Thoughts & Prayers to your Family.

Kyle, my brother, where do I even begin?  You made everyone you came into contact with feel special and you were always so genuine.  You showed me the ropes with being a tech, a dream of mine that I always looked up to you with since our first meeting at Jaxx.  I'll never forget you inviting me out to your hometown wedding celebration, a night that spawned into our friendship being truly solidified.  We had a lot of fun together, times I will always cherish  from getting lost backstage at WASP in Atlantic City (literally reenacting Hello Cleveland!) to running into you at random to just being able to hang out and have great conversation during a rare time when you weren't working, it was never a dull moment with you around.  Although life got in the way in recent years, it was like no time passed whenever I would run into you.

My deepest condolences to Mrs. Sabel and all of Kyle's family and friends.  I love you brother, see you on the other side.

No words can heal the sorrow and the pain his family and all of us are feeling. We all lost a great friend, a friend who always had something funny to say to keep everyone happy, I as well as all of us are devastated about this, I just wish that I could go back in time and talked to him one more time.  Your friend always Kyle, Stuart Williams

My condolences and prayers to Kyle's family, and many many friends. Kyle was always a wonderful friend and generous neighbor. Always friendly, smiling, and willing to help. Very sorry.

Gone too soon! We miss our friend, brother, colleague and all around great person Kyle! For more than 15 years you have been in our lives and we will never forget your infectious smile, big heart and kind soul. Our sincere condolences go to your wonderful family.

I will miss your random calls and texts to talk about the Phillies and life in general...
Rest easy...hoping your dad was there to greet you... I know how much you missed him...
Love you brother....

Kyle, I only had the pleasure of spending one day with you a couple years ago and just knew you were the greatest, kindest guy. You were so kind to us though we'd only just met. Your smile was infectious. I'm saddened that we'll never meet again. RIP man.

My deepest condolences to Kyle's family during this rough time as my prayers go out to you all. May God give you strength now and always. As one of the fortunate ones that Kyle called friend, his jokes, his kindness, his compassion, his love, and of course his 'Kyle-smile' are going to be truly and deerly missed. I am proud and grateful to have been one of Kyle's friends, and will always be thankful for that.

My condolences love and respect to the Sabel family  I have had the pleasure of knowing Kyle for almost 30 years. Always had a way of making people feel good that we're around him and never had a bad thing to say about anybody I respected him and called him my brother.You raised a good man, who gave all of himself to who he loved!!!! Love and Respect BC Thomas

Condolences to the Sabel family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you. RIP my dear Brother I miss you so much and that Kyle Smile! You will always be my Bratman. I know you will be watching over us all. Hug Jill for me.  Love you

RIP my friend. I Love you and sure will miss you. If I ever do another tour,there will be such an important part missing without you around. My friend,My brother "Kyle Kyle" Thank You for making all those tours I did with you a lot more fun! Condolences to all your family and friends.

It's been many years since our last meeting but you were never far from my thoughts. You touched a lot of lives, brother. This world will not be the same without your presence.

It's so sad to have to write you for the last time my brother. You spent your life making other people's lives better, and to think that you are gone devastates all of us. Such an incredible outpouring of love for you, I hope you can see it.

  I want to thank you for always being an amazing friend, always having a smile on your face, and for always putting a smile on mine. You are the best buddy, we all love you to the moon and back and will miss you everyday until our time comes.
So many bands were blessed by your presence, WASP being just one of them.
You were everything to us, and to everyone you worked for. I think of the pain your family and friends are going through right now and it breaks my heart. I wish to offer condolences and love to all those who held you dear. I will think of you often, your early exit will remain a sore spot in all of our hearts. Some of the heartfelt tributes I have read from people like Chris Caffery and Mike Duda moved me beyond words.
You were and are loved. Rest in peace my friend. I love you.

RIP Kyle . Friend , Brother . All our Love .

You were truly an inspiration to me. Rest well Kyle.

Kyle you made everything better. A fallen brother in music, and a valued friend. Rock in Peace Kyle. John Zahner

Distraught & distracted. You were one in a million. I will miss you so. The yahrzeit candle will remain burning for you to find your way and maybe I will hear from you in my dreams.


Dearest Sabel Family and Beloved Kyle,
We will fondly remember, memorialize, honor and commemorate Kyle. Kyle left behind so many cherished memories, stories and a legacy for us to reflect on. We are more than rewarded with the lasting presence of Kyle's life and memory. We will grieve the loss of Kyle and continue to light candles this week and years to come. We always supported and believed in Kyle's dreams and goals. He sure did accomplish them. We were always very proud of Kyle. I am so glad I was able to tell him so and in person a couple of years ago at a TSO performance.
Who could forget being teens driving all the gear we loaded (and rented with our own money) into Kyle's Ford Escort and/or my Chevy Chevette to hundreds of gigs, setting up, sound checks, the shows/good and bad (I slept through one) -Kyle never slept, meeting bands and fans, hanging out with friends, tear downs, reloads, and the Wawa snack stops on our sometimes long but always super fun way back home?
Birthdays and holidays won't be forgotten either. One year we each bought each other leather jackets from a mutual friend (she worked at Wilson's leather) who was apparently an awesome secret keeper. Christmas day when we opened our gifts we were both so surprised. Laughter, joy and tears were shared with the whole family. Summers at the shore were always terrific but the most fun was when Kyle would un-alphabetize Dad's (Dick's) tools and items in the garage and wait for him to come and let us know he noticed. We all know the Kyle grin that followed. Kyle invented Laugh out Loud/lol we just didn't know it because we didn't have cell phones yet. Mom/Mary - Kyle and I loved sticky bun breakfasts with you and yummy lunches you made us.
Thank you to all the Sabel family sharing Kyle and yourselves.
Hockey games, sports events, laundry day, cooking spicy wings, making deviled eggs and ordering pizzas were some special moments too.
By definition he was a Kyle: A generous, intelligent, truthful, hard working, handsome, outgoing guy who went out of his way for his friends and was sweet and caring towards people, he had a laid back and calm approach.
We know his memory will be carried to the next generation (also a Star Trek reference). Kyle and I went to my Senior prom together. We wore purple and white and danced and laughed. He was beyond proud to witness me crowned prom queen, more proud to get to go home with me and even more proud to dedicate YMCA to me as our song. KYLE! I can see you grinning from heaven right now. You didn't think I could forget that did you?
We bought a dachshund and named him Beavis. You know we were full of humor. We will always love Kyle and we are so happy he loved us too.
Fondly,
Marisa "Chicken" and Rich Klarich and Epstein Family

Rest in Peace Kyle! Prayers for family and friends to comfort them and that they celebrate the joy you brought to so many. May you sore with the eagles and watch over us with joy and laughter.

You haven't been gone long, but already, your friends and loved ones feel the void of your absence. RIP, sir.

So heartbroken you left us so soon-   I will miss that goofy smile... you were one of the kindest people I've ever met. Loved you like a brother not just a friend - 
My condolences to Kyle's mom , family and to all who loved him around the world !

I've had the pleasure of touring with you since 1997. And many times since! Never a dull moment! 
Proud to have you as friend and touring colleague! 
Love You and Miss You
Go with God!
