Kyler is also survived by his Uncle Harold Kelley, Aunt Debbie Kokko, and cousins too many to name.
Kyler attended Willis High School where he made numerous friends! His contagious laugh and beautiful smile would light up a room. Kyler was known for his love of life, many friends, and his love for his momma! Kyler was very generous in helping his friends, family and even the homeless. He was a hard worker and made friends easily wherever he worked. Kyler was always respectful and tried to help others whenever he was able; often he would give his last dollar! Kyler will be missed terribly by his family and friends. We will especially miss his beautiful smile, kind heart, and big brown eyes.
