Kyle was a 2013 graduate of Farmington High School. He joined the laborer's union and worked for 7 years in the commercial construction industry. He loved riding dirt bikes, deer hunting, fishing and swimming. His daughter, Aurora, who was "Daddy's Girl", was his world and he loved being her Daddy.
