Kyle Lee Zander [January 24, 1961 – August 13, 2025 age 64]

Kyle was born at a very young age to Milton Henry Zander and Sondra Lee Gentry Zander at Brooke Army Hospital in San Antonio, Texas on January 24, 1961. Kyle died of complications resulting from cancer originating from an ulcer caused by acid reflux.

Kyle was raised by his mother and father, and step-father Joe Brents. Kyle is survived by his father Milton and step-mother Martha Zander, by his brothers Keith, Gaylen, and Greg, and step-brothers Johnny Brents and Greg Brents, and Kyle’s son Kevin Zander. His blood nieces and nephews are Zac, Jake, Rachel, Abby, John, Jared and Haley; Uncle Ronnie and Aunt Gloria Lee and cousins Cynthia, Deborah, Jennifer.

Kyle grew up in Dallas, attending T.G. Terry Elementary in Oak Cliff, Mesquite Middle School, and graduated Rockwall High School with a standing ovation. Kyle was a worker and a disassembler and a repair technician, taking his first electrical outlet apart prior to age 7, a paper route entrepreneur at age 12, Rush Creek Yacht Club at age 16, Cullins Grocery at age 17, mechanic at Treadaway Toyota, Motors Corporation, and returning to self-employment in the technical machinery and copier transportation business in his mid and later years. Kyle worked until the day he passed.

Kyle being the oldest, was the envy of his brothers. He jumped the highest ramps on his bicycle, rode and looked the coolest on his motorcycles, got the stuckest in his 4-wheel-drive trucks, drove the fastest whether it be his go-carts or automobiles, and caught the biggest fish in his fresh and salt-water adventures.

Kyle was constantly called upon to help get his friends and family out of their troubles, helping all of us who were stranded on the side of the road with broken cars, lending money to those who were broke, assisting with computers, operating systems, copiers, CB and police radio scanners, providing parts and technical assistance with commercial copiers, printers, security equipment, machinery, always answering the question “What does this thing do,” and much more. “Hey Kyle, do you have that?” “Yep, I’ve got about 4 of ‘em. Come on down to Kyle-Mart and pick one up.”

Kyle was an esteemed collector of practical tools, electronics, engines, automobiles and machinery. He was generous to a fault and would offer you his time and assets to help most anyone in need. In his last years of life he chose to live in what many would describe as an unsafe neighborhood full of people with difficulties and troubles. His neighbors spoke of him as the only normal and trustworthy person in the neighborhood who would routinely exhibit kindness to those in need around him. In the famous words of brother Kyle & Uncle Cow “I Gotta Go Man.”

Kyle expressed his trust and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ for his eternal salvation, and while Kyle routinely failed in upholding the highest standard of the biblical Christian faith (like we all do), we (his family) believe he is in the presence of the Almighty One - God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, ‘The Big Man Upstairs.’
