He graduated from Deerfield High School in 2014 and graduated from UW-Madison in 2018 with degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics. He was employed as a computer software developer. His passions were gaming, skiing and rock climbing. He loved traveling the world with his family, especially his trips to Japan. He enjoyed fishing and boating at the family cabin in northern Wisconsin. He will be dearly missed by his brother, Shane. They grew up side by side, sharing a love of video games that stayed with them and kept them connected throughout their lives. He had a wonderful circle of friends and thank you for all the bright light you shined on him. He shared many memories of your get-togethers, weddings and destination bachelor parties. He will be remembered for his kindness, intelligence, and gentle spirit.
Kyle was deeply loved and will be forever missed by his parents, Mark and Jane, brother, Shane, grandfather, Dave, many uncles, aunts and cousins. Preceded in death by grandparents, Julie, Ronald and Marlys.
A private service will be held at a later date.

Kyle always had the answer when we worked together. He created and supported a Walkup App for rental customers that saved so much time and money for the business. He was astute, kind, funny and very smart!
He is missed. It was an honor working with him. He was a genuine good person and a fantastic engineer!
