Seven memories of Kyle A. Colnot

“

Kyle was my friend.
Kyle was an adopted brother of mine.
Kyle still IS my brother.

He was fun, carefree, & great to hang out with.
Anyone that knew him will tell you that Kyle lived his life to the ABSOLUTE fullest, enjoying every single minute of what he had.

Whether at a local bar here in So Cal hanging out, shooting pool, drinking beers, listening to music, playing guitar, watching stock car racing, or just sitting around talking smack to one another (he had a sense of humor that was razor sharp)... A day with Kyle was always well spent.

There is not a day that goes by where myself, or James don't think about him & pray for him. We both miss him terribly and we always will.

But at the same time we are, as I'm sure is everyone that knew Kyle, so incredibly grateful that we had him in our lives for the time that we did.

I thank God we had the time we did.

Kyle was an amazing person, and a great friend.
