    This is Kylers mom. First thing is Kyler was from Queen Creek Az NOT Maricopa. Kyler was a very kind hearted boy and grew up to be the same kind of young man. He graduated from Queen creek High. He was a eagle scout. His project was sending care packages to the troops. He will be misses everyday until we return to him in the next life.

    I would like to give my condolences to Kyler's family and friends. I didn't know him. But, I'm sure he was a nice young man. The Bible tells us at Revelation 21:4 "He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore the former things have passed away." That gives us a wonderful hope for the future. May you have peace and comfort.
