Kyle, or Kip as I knew him, and I have known each other for 5 years now. We met through a game we mutually loved and instantly became the best of friends. When we weren't gaming together, we were on the phone, chatting on Discord, or texting each other funny videos, gifs, or memes to make the other laugh. He and I could always finish each other's sentences and always knew what the other was thinking without even saying it. We joked a lot that we had the same brain and were the same person - just states apart. We loved to watch scary movies together and spend the entire time laughing at the cheesy scenes. We also spent way too much time arguing over Disney's Nightmare Before Christmas. He insisted it was a Christmas movie while I swore it was a Halloween movie. I guess I will finally concede on that one and give it to you, Kip. 

Kip was one of the most genuinely kind hearted people I know. He always knew what to say when I was having a bad day, and I'd like to believe I was able to do the same for him most days. Words can not express how much I am going to miss him. He was and always will be my best friend. He made such an impact on my life and taught me real friendship. And I will always be thankful to and for him. Love you so much, Kip. Rest easy.

We all will miss Kyle . He was an amazing young man.In  my heart I know his memory will live on. 

Such a shock. Kyle and his infectious smile will be sorely missed.

How inadequate are words to express my feelings of sadness for you all. 

Anything I can do, you let me know.
