Kyle Shields Burge, age 32, of Overland Park, Kansas passed away on Sunday, September 3, 2023 at his home. Cherished son of Catherine and Thomas Burge Jr., beloved brother of Kirsten (Nick) Wade and adored uncle to Daniel, Julianna and Jonathan Wade. Visitation was held Monday, 9/11/2023 at Mount Moriah in Kansas City, Missouri.
Kyle was born on July 19th, 1991 in Kansas City, Missouri at Baptist Memorial Hospital and was the youngest of two children. His energy and gift of speed pushed him to excel in soccer, basketball, football, track, and baseball. He was a leader and role model among his peers and loved his family and friends. In the early years the Denver Broncos was his favorite sports team and later in life became an avid Royals, Chiefs and KU fan. Kyle was very nurturing towards animals and loved his dogs Koko, Denver and Ruby. His life was a living example of Bible verse, Ephesians 4:32 – “And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.”
Kyle was preceded in death by his grandmother, Roxanna Burge; grandparents, Maurice and Beverly McCann; uncle, James McCann; aunt, Sheri Burge; cousins, Paul and David Riggs.
Kyle is survived by his parents, sister, nephews, niece and grandfather, Thomas (Phyllis) Burge, Sr., along with many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Kyle is at rest and we will always hold him close within us. If anyone displays signs of depression or anxiety, be a friend. Let us find and encourage within ourselves and within our society those gifts that make each of us special, and display the extraordinary beauty of the human heart.
