He called Kyle a genuine person and mentioned that he was such a human being who would always come forward to help others, if needed, no questions asked. He further thanked everyone for the well-wishes while adding that he would never be able to respond to all of them. An excerpt from his statement could be read as:
“I’m gonna miss walking into the house and seeing him sitting there with a smile on his face to greet me. I’m going to miss that smile and that laugh. I love that smile and laugh, both of those got me out of some pretty dark places. I’m gonna miss him just being there for me no matter what, to push me when I needed it, to be a ear when when I needed someone to talk to, to give advice when I had no idea what I was doing, to give a warm hug whenever I needed it, anybody who knew Kyle knows he was a hugger and he gave the best hugs.”
