I didn't know Kyle very well but I had the opportunity to give him drum lessons at the Brackman School. With all that he was going through, he was still concerned about learning, getting to class on time and mastering the music. I'll never forget the day he and I were jamming to We Will Rock You. I was playing piano while he was pounding out the drum beat. It was awesome. I realized in a very short time how smart, diligent and motivated he was. I know he will be ok in a better place.
Mr. Frank Constantine, Brackman Middle School.

Francene, Gene and Mariah,
   Please know that you are all in our thought and prayers and that Kyle touched so many lives.  I want to tell you how much we respect you as parents, he was so loved and cared for and you should have no regrets.  There was a reason that he was born to you and was so loved.  Kyle will always been an inspiration to us all.  Sincerely, Pam and Mark

Our thoughts and prayers are with Kyle's entire family.You have our deepest sympathy.Troy and Kim Skodmin

Kyle was an amazing young man who truly exemplified courage.  Just in the last four months, he was living life to the fullest.  He managed to make it to many Boy Scout meetings, work on his badges, and even attended the Boy Scout Merit Badge Fair.  He had the courage to come out in public even when he had to wear his mask & backpack.   Even more courageous were the times he was out without his mask, knowing he was risking infection, so he could experience life as any other kid would!  I doubt I would have half the courage & stamina that he had.  He allowed us
to see into his life & made Courage from Kyle a very real thing.  He left a
lasting legacy in our community & especially with the Boy Scouts, Firemen & the Dunfee School, because we were privileged to be able to be a part of his life.  May God bless & comfort his family.

Jenny Novak, Parent from Boy Scout Troop 26, Barnegat, N.J.

Rest in peace, Kyle.  You are an inspiration to everyone who knew you and even those that didn't.  Go and enjoy your life now, pain free!!  You are a guardian angel who will always shed sunlight on everyone!!!  God Bless you and your family!!  You and your family will forever be in my thoughts and prayers.

The Barnegat Community mourns, yet we also beam with pride. We were shown not only how to live but also how to leave this world with grace and dignity by a brave little boy. God Bless.

Dear Francine, Gene & Mariah,
I have been so blessed to have had an opportunity to have a great person as a grandson like Kyle. You can't help but to smile when you think of Kyle. And that is what he would want all of us to do as well. So, we need to smile for Kyle because he knows how much he was loved. Everyday we can honor him with love by being grateful that he lived. I know he is in a better place without anymore pain. I will always remember my beloved grandson with his million dollar smile and dimples.
With love & deepest condolences,
Always your Mom & Grandma Phyllis

Kyle, I know that Jimmy will always carry you in his heart as well as the rest of the Lynch family too.  You were and will always be his best friend.  As I told you when I last spoke to you, "You will always be with us and we will always love you.  You are our heart".  We will "Never give up" and we will forever have "Courage from Kyle".  Don't worry, everything is taken care of and Mom, Dad and Mariah are surrounded by our love. <3

Prayers to your family for healing and acceptance.  He was an inspiration half way across the country.  Peace and love from one fire family to another.

Gene and the McGetrick Family,

Kyle had so many set backs over the years but every time he came back as a true fighter.  He was a lesson in love and courage to all who came in contact with him.  We are glad he was able to Make A Wish and go on his wonderful trip out west to be with family he had never met and to meet Chris Angel.  Our thoughts and prayers go with the angel who has departed this world for one without sickness or pain.
Pat Voorhees and Joan Cooney, Kyle's Make A Wish Team

We will always remember Kyle's quiet strength and amazing smile. We will miss him and his loving family.

I didn't know Kyle, but there's no doubt he was an amazing child.  Our motorcycle club was humbled at his optimism and his ability to have fun even through his pain.  We pray his family finds peace in that he will be watching over them and is now healthy in the hands of the angels.

Life was too short for you, Kyle. We will never forget you or stop loving you. You were the best friend Cj ever had. Thank you for always accepting him as he was & never judging him. ~The Schmiedl's~
