Kyle was born with Lissencephaly. He spent most of his life in a wheelchair and required total daily care. He was not expected to live beyond the age of 8. Kyle was blessed with parents, siblings, extended family and many friends who each provided him with more love and care than you can possibly imagine. Kyle died at the age of 19, the milestone missionary age and we rejoice that he is now free of the limitations of his earthly body Alma 40:11-12; Alma 28:12 and that now he too can serve a mission! in the Spirit World D&C 138:57
In honor of Kyle’s 19th birthday, older brother Clint and his wife Jamie asked friend and gifted artist Roger C. to paint a portrait of Kyle as he might appear in a body without limitations. This image of Kyle has been a great reminder to all of us of the great and noble soul that he is! We believe the result is an accurate representation of what Kyle may look like today in the Spirit World.
We rejoice in the knowledge that Christ came to earth to conquer sin and death. 2 Ne. 9: 10-12 We know that God created for us “The divine plan of happiness [which] enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally.”

Kyle taught our whole family many valuable lessons John 9:2-3 and he will be greatly missed! Doctrine & Covenants 42:45-46
We have faith that if we live righteously we will one day see Kyle again! Doctrine & Covenants 130:2 and we believe that at the resurrection his spirit will be reunited with his body and it will be restored to its perfect form! Alma 40: 23
