Do you remember when Kyle and the rest of the Belmont crew were deep in their cardboard box fort building phase? They’d race around the neighborhood collecting boxes from anyone and everyone, then spend hours building elaborate forts in the garage and driveway. Thats one of my favorite memories. They knew how to have fun and had fun often.
Kyle and these boys grew up together and went through a lot together. The memories they shared are numerous and deep and the memory of him will be everlasting. We are all heartbroken and shocked over the tragic loss of him but I know he will be remembered and thought of often by this neighborhood family we have.
Kyle always had a way of getting everyone excited to do something. His laugh and sense of humor never failed to get everyone laughing and bring a smile to their faces. That’s how I’ll remember him, with his big cheeky smile and infectious laugh.
To the Thomas Family,
My name is Nataly and I’m Kyle’s manager from Cilantro Tacos.
We just wanted to say how deeply sorry we are for your loss. Our team was met with shock when we found out the news. I can’t even imagine the grief you must feel and I will be praying for your family.
I want to say how much we love, cherish, and respect your family. From Angela, to Charlie, and Kyle - your children left a mark on our hearts.
Kyle was extremely hilarious, witty, curious, & respectful. I often worked with him throughout the nights and yes - sometimes I would get onto him about little things, but at the end of the day he always made everyone laugh. He felt like a little brother to us, and he was always the most helpful. Like all little brothers, they would all tease each other, listen to music, and talk about cars on their breaks. There were of course times when I had to tell the boys to stop horsing around and you know - all the teenage boy stuff.
He would always eat a TON of chicken tacos and fries. We will surely miss him so much and our staff is truly feeling the loss of him and feel so heartbroken.
We are wishing you so much love and praying for all the days to come.
Here are some random photos we have with Kyle. His hilarious, witty spirit will never be forgotten.
With everything,
Nataly
“Kit Kats” When you told me he was excited we had king size Kit Kats it reminded me when I was much younger and was excited my parents friend kept Kit Kat bars in their candy dish.
Kyle brought home Audrey from their first date in his corvette and she opened her door he wasn’t quick enough to open the door so he told her to get back in. Haha, I laughed because Audrey’s mom was that way and I pretty much did the same to her. I watched and told Audrey get back in the car. He also defended and protected my daughter at school Which meant a lot to us. Kyle was such a gentleman and very respectful we loved having him over at our home and eating dinner. Even though he didn’t care for something he still tried it and he definitely gained respect. I can say we are all in shock, it definitely hit home. Y’all are a great family wonderful parents and your son was awesome and a true gentleman. We love Kyle and your family is and will always be apart of ours. Found an old video of him picking up Audrey I tried to attach.
God bless y’all,
-Cade Family
George, Mandy and Family, May you find the strength that comes from your faith and support of your Family and friends. Ou r deepest Sympathies for the Loss of Hunter. Don & Becky Bell
