Kyle Lippo Obituary

Hi Kyle. I think about you often. I wonder where you'd be, what you'd be doing, and who you would be surrounding yourself with. I wish I could've seen you at the 10 year reunion last year. I miss how you could bring everyone together. Mrs. Figueroa's class felt like family.

I miss u everyday kyle. I think about u and my mom hangin out without me. I'm jealous. I know ur makin her laugh everday. I miss both of u. But I think as I age i'm still learning everday the emotions I went through losing u guys. I have a beautiful baby girl now. Her name's Alexis, she's 5 years old. I could not even fathem giving her to god. I'm greedy and take advantage of every day. But u have taught me better. Because of u I appreciate and value everything we do together. I miss u. Remember when katie and I were at the park with the dogs and u and trevor were doin tricks on ur bikes and u cracked that front tooth for like the millionth time and it came right off the post. lol u were freakin out what ur mom was gonna say and we were all laughin at u. But u were laughin too. lol u never let petty things get to u. U made everything better and I try to use that same outlook with my daughter. Without u I would not be the person I am today. I love u and will always carry our memories.

Been thinking about you Kyle love and miss you so much

It's been over 9 years since you passed and I can't believe I never wrote in here. You were and are still my best friend. I guess it was just to hard to write down how I felt. I've never stop talking to you and try and visit as much as I can. Its been so long its hard to remember all the the trouble we use to get or conversations we had. I stop by your brothers every once I a while and the always got a story for me about the things we some how got away with. So much has changed in this time. I wish I could hear your stories from when we were kids. Hear your laugh.. I miss you man. Rip

Hey I haven't written in a while but the day of graduation I was full of emotions one because it was great to finnaly finish high school but the other was empty because me and Kyle spoke about walking together and i really wish you were there to walk with all of us, even though you were not there physically you were in my heart and that was all I needed. I will never forget that morning phone call I received because I felt a piece of myself just tear away, the older I got the more I've been able to mature and understand you didn't go anywhere because I still have the amazing memories. You are the type of person everyone loves to be around because of your personality I'm glad I was switched to Mrs. Figaroa's class and made friends with a group of kids that were true friends especially you, you were the one who always brought laughter and joy to all of us no matter what.
I'll one day be with you and we will be able to goof around again. "best friends for ever best friends forever till the end" something we stole from spongebob square pants and patrick.

Hey Kyle,
You were the first death I had ever experienced and still linger in my mind all the time. Our good times were few but they were all so memorable. I'm constantly taking my life for granted but you remind me to recognize what is important. I have yet to meet someone so full of life and passion as you and those are the qualities that I continue to cherish with your memory. Please look out for the rest of us and keep us safe.

hey kyle, man it's been a really long time from all the way back at St. Marks. but you were always one of my best friends and there isnt a day that goes by that i dont remember you and all the fun we had when we were little kids. i still remember you came to my 8th bday party and it was pokemon themed. we had such a good time. i just want to thank you and say im sorry i never got to say goodbye. thank you man and im glad you have peace brother.

i lovr and miss you and your family! :((

If you are reading this, you might find out a lot aabout me and activities I like to do in my daily life. Some things you might find out is how much I like the game of football adn hockey. You might also find out some hobbies of mine. To find out this stuff, all you have to do is read on. One of my favorite activities is hanging out with my friends. Som of of my friends are Alex Mejia, he sits behind me in L.A., Chris, and Dustin Doane, Trevor. I have many more friends, but I don't feel like naming them. I also like talking. It is hard for me to last no even an hour without talking. School also is something I do daily (DUH). I normally get good grads, but no one thinks I do because how I act and because of my appearance. Last year I was in the Spelling Bee and this year I am in algebra. Unlike many people I do not mind school (alot of people might think that's weird). I also love sports. I am good at BMX (biking), football, basketball, hockey, and volleyball. When I bike I like to go over jumps and do tricks or jsut race and do tricks off the ground. I might goin football, but I surely will join hockey. I've been in a hockey league for 5 years, and every year I get better and better. Now, I will conclude this essay. I hope you have been able to learn more about me. (This is something Kyle wrote I thought it was so moving) I love you Kyle and miss you everyday!! Love MOM

Hey Kyle its been awhile. I miss you soo much. i know we didnt hang out much, but when we did we had a blast. I remember that night at the game as if it had happend yesterday, i think about it all the time, me cheering on the sidelines and u in pain, i wish there was something that i could have done, but u are in a better place now. I think about you all the time. Miss you lots!! Love you!

hey buddy i miss u bro its been awile i wish u were still here even tho i neva got a chance to go ridin with u or make it to your house the memories of us goofin around in school and in spelling class. But i will always know ur standin over my shoulder helpin me pick the right paths and helpin me with me choices. I miss u alot bro. Your friend and classmate

Dear Kyle,

You have no idea how much I miss you. And how much I have been thinking of you like everyday. You will always be loved and missed. I wish we had more time to get to know eachother than those nights at the park playing football. Those nights were always the best. Everyone misses you. I just wish I got to see you one last time to tell you everything that I held in my heart. I never got to say good-bye. So here it is. Bye Kyle I will always love and miss you. You are the best. There will never be a day that I wont think of you. I love you
XoXo

KYLE YOU WERE LIKE MY BIG BROTHER, I LOVE YOU I MISS YOU TERRIBLY ME N U WILLL ALWAYS BE BEST FRIENDS 4EVER. I TRULY WISHED I WAS THERE N THAT I COULD HAVE CAME TO THE GAME TO SAY ONE MORE HELLO TO YOU. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART AND IN MY PRAYER FOREVER AND ALWAYS.

I LOVE YOU
UR BEST FRIEND AND SISTER
CORINA

dude kyle its been a while i just moved here and you were soo nice wish u were still here :( i miss ya man

Dear Kyle,

You came to our school in 5th grade, and from the very first time I ever saw you, I knew our friendship would be awesome. And it was. Im really glad I got to know someone as great as you, you were always so happy. In the two years we knew eachother we got to know eachother so well. And I cant think of anyone else like you. I was absolutely torn into pieces when you passed. But youre in a better place now, watching down over us. And not a day goes by that I dont think of you. And I can still hear your joyful laugh. We had so many wonderful memories together and Ill never forget a single one. We all miss you so much, its hard to believe its been two years. But all I can hope is that I will see you again someday. Thanks for all youve done in my life! I LOVE YOU!!!

My son Jacob will always be one of your best friends! Jacob and your friend Alex think of you all the time. They miss you a lot. You will never be forgotten, you have left a special foot print on their hearts forever. Last fall I took the boys to your grave site, and they sent you a special prayer. God bless you and all of your family and friends.

You are forever in our memories... yesterday, today, tomorrow... we know you are watching down on us... sharing ideas with the boys to remind us that you are with us. We love you... say hi to Grandma for us.

Kyle was a very good person i remember all the good times that me kyle and trevor had everyday was the best day my favorite time was when i spent the night and we were waiting for trevor to get to kyles house that night we just talked about everthing. i wish that me and trevor would of been able to talk more with kyle i miss you kyle

IF I KNEW



If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep,

I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord your soul to keep.



If I knew it would be the last time that I would see you walk out

the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.



If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up

in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.



If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute

or two, to stop and say that "I love you," Instead of assuming that you KNOW I do.



If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day,

well, I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let this one slip away.



For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we

always get a second chance to make everything all right.



There will always be another day to say our "I love you's"

And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do's."



But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I'd like

to say how much I love you and hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today

may be the last chance you get to hold your loved ones tight.



So, if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day,



That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, a kiss,

And you were to busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.



So hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear,

Tell them how much you love them, And that you'll always hold them dear.



Take the time to say "I'm sorry" "please forgive me" "thank you" or"It's ok"..

Kyle - Remembering You



Your time on earth seemed all too brief because we wanted you in our lives forever.



And although we really miss you,in our heart we know that you are at peace.



Still, countless times throughout the day we find ourselves remembering you.



Although we cannot see or hear you, we know that you are with us.



We'll feel you in the warmth of the summer sun.



We'll see you in the brilliance of autumn leaves.



You'll be beside us in the peacefulness of a gentle snowfall

and rejoice with us at the emergence of the first flowers of spring.



We're thankful for the times we shared and the priceless memories too; for those memories are a comfort now when we lovingly -

Remember You.

Dearest Kyle,

I have been thinking about you alot lately - I can't get you off my mind.

I see you all around and miss you. I miss the sunlight in your hair-the sparkle in your eyes, your devilish ( though innocent ) smile, your laughter that filled the room SO many times. I loved your laugh, it was from deep down in your belly! I know you are guiding us all - every bright star I see, I smile - I know its you, here for a visit, keeping an eye on us. When I cry - I hear you call out to me - "I'm okay,keep going"
Trevor speaks of you often and it is good to hear all the stories...just wanted to let you know again - I LOVE YOU! and miss you so much! Tony writes songs about you and Kelli is lucky enough to spend time with your family - Thank you for making our families one!
Love Always,
Tami
See you in my dreams and you are always in my prayers...Thanks for watching over us!

Here is another beautiful poem I found that I thought would help cheer others up.



Love Kyle's Mom (Joy)



You can shed a tear now that he is gone,

Or you can smile because he has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray he’ll come back,

Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.



Your heart can be empty,

Because you cannot see him.

Or can be full of the love

that you have shared.



You can turn your back on tomorrow

And live for yesterday.

Or you can be happy for tomorrow

Because of yesterday.



You can remember him and ache

That he is gone.

Or you can cherish his memory

And let him live on.



You can cry and close your mind

Be empty and turn your back.

Or you can do what he would want

Smile, open your eyes,

Love, and go on….

Dear Don, Joy, Katie,Jason and Justin,



I found something in a book I am reading and it helped me out - I thought I would share it with you!



MEMORIES - tender, loving,bittersweet.



They can never be taken from you.

Nothing can detract from the joy and the love you all and Kyle shared.



Your love for Kyle and his love for you cannot be altered

by time or circumstance.



The memories are yours to keep.

Yesterday has ended, but you store it in the TREASURE part of your past.





He is still with us, and though we can't see him he will be there FOREVER!



Love,

Tami

Joy, your poem is so wonderful. I can imagine our children in heaven saying those words. I'll share it with other mothers like us. Your family is in my mind and prayers often. Remember that God knows your tears!

Psalm 56:8 Thou hast kept count of my tossings;

put thou my tears in thy bottle!

Are they not in thy book?

I think of your daughter and pray that her loneliness will lessen with time.



I wish you peace.

Linda

Dear Kyle,



I know you are still watching over all of us. We all miss you so much - but I understand God had better plans for you.



You are the sunlight in our hair,

You are the whisper in the wind,

You are the shadow on the ground,

You are the peace , that silent sound.



I love you and miss you, but I know you are in good, GREAT hands and I can feel you smiling down on us ALL.



Joy, Thank you for being such a good listener and being so strong. When I see your family, it shows me again how IMPORTANT it is to let the ones you love, know they are loved.

I love you all and will see you soon!

My prayers are with ALL of you!



Love,

Tami xoxoxoxo

Dear Kyle, Hey Boyfriend! I am truly sorry that I haven't been in your guest book yet! It has been a while since you went up to Heaven, yet I feel like you are still here! I want to thank u for listening to me at night while I say my prayers. I also want to thank you for helping me out with all my wishes- I truly believe you have been a huge part in why the things I ask for come true! I know you look out for me, my family, your family, and your friends, and I want to thank you for that too! I have a whole bunch of thank you's, but I am sure you already know how greatful I am to you! I love you so much and miss you every minute! I use to pass the cemetery you were burried in every day after work. And every time I pass it, I turn off my radio and talk to you(and I know you appreciate it!) You will always be loved, always be missed, and always be MY GUARDIAN ANGEL, ( and my little boyfriend:)) Thanks for being the bestest friend to Trevor and being a great brother to Tony and I. I love you, I miss you, I will visit the cemetery soon, and I will talk to you tonight! You are dearly missed every day, thank you again for everything!

"To my dearest friends and family,

some things I'd like to say.

But first of all, to let you know,

that I arrived okay.



I'm writing this from heaven.

Here I dwell with God above.

Here, there's no more tears of sadness;

Here is just eternal love.



Please do not be unhappy

just because I'm out of sight.

Remember that I am with you every

morning, noon and night.



That day I had to leave you

when my life on earth was through.

God picked me up and hugged me and

He said, "I welcome you".



"It's good to have you back again,

you were missed while you were gone.

As for your friends and family,

They'll be here later on.



I need you here badly,

you're part of my plan.

There's so much that we have to do,

to help our mortal man."



God gave me a list of things,

that he wished for me to do, and

foremost on the list,

was to watch and care for you.



And I will be beside you

every day and week and year

and when you're sad

I'm standing there to wipe away the tear.



And when you lie in bed at night

the day's chores put to flight,

God and I are closest to you..

in the middle of the night.



When you think of my life on earth,

and all those loving years,

because you are only human,

they are bound to bring you tears.



But do not be afraid to cry,

it does relieve the pain.

Remember there would be no flowers,

unless there was some rain.



I wish that I could tell you

all that God has planned.

If I were to tell you,

you wouldn't understand.



But one thing is for certain,

though my life on earth is o'er,

I'm closer to you now than

I ever was before.



And to my very many friends

trust God knows what is best,

I'm still not far away from you

I'm just beyond the crest.



There are many rocky roads

ahead of you and

many hills to climb;

But together we can do it by

taking one day at a time.



It was always my philosophy

and I'd like it for you too;

That as give unto the world,

the world will give to you.



If you can help somebody

who's in sorrow and pain,

then you can say to God

at night...

"My day was not in vain".



And now I am contented....

that my life was worthwhile.

Know as I passed along the way

I made somebody smile.



So if you meet somebody

who is sad and feeling low,

Just lend a hand to pick him up,

as on your way you go.



When you're walking down the street

and you've got me on your mind,

I'm walking in you footsteps

only half a step behind.



And when you feel the gentle breeze

or the wind upon your face,

that's me giving you a great big hug

or just a soft embrace.



And when it's time for you to go

....from that body to be free.

Remember you're not going..

..you're coming here to me.



And I will always love you

from that land way up above.

Will be in touch again soon.



P.S. God sends His Love

Dearest Kyle,



I had a bad day today and miss you greatly!!! I was going thru pictures to hang on our family wall and of course I have several of you. You were and still are a part of this family and I love you and miss you, but a thought came to me...How selfish of me to want you here for me , for us - I thought today how beautiful it must have been for you going up through the stars on your journey to Heaven. I now know that in each star I hear you saying to me and many,many others, " I remember you". It must have been a beautiful journey! We all miss you but you now are our Guardian Angel - your closer to the Lords ear - please ask him to continue to keep you in good hands, like you are! It has been 6 months since you were last in MO. with us - I found a note today that you left for us and in it you said "you will miss us all especially Trevor" and "I'll Be Back" and I believe you have been. Thank you for keeping your eye on us! Bless you.



I'll see you in my dreams,

Tami

Dear Kyle,

I'm sorry that I did not get a chance to meet you, but I am very glad that you got a chance to bless the family that I love most next to my own. I am glad to see how much hope and joy you can bring to one single family, and even though I don't know you personally, I miss you. That may sound strange, but I know how much you were loved, how much love you brought, and how much you are missed. Thank you for blessing the Koza's and the Glauser's with your love and grace and for showing them how to have strength and courage. God bless you and your family.

Dear Don, Joy Katie, Jason and Justin,



I now know for sure Kyle is an angel! I always knew it - but now he came through to Tony.

Tony was lost in the woods after walking 20 miles and trying to find his way home. This happened on Friday night Jan. 16th, 2004 - when Tony got home he told me he just kept looking up and asking Kyle to help and find a way home, he asked him over and over. Well after 4 hours he found his way home. I am grateful to Kyle and I truly believe he saved Tony. It was raining, dark and cold outside last Friday night when this happened. We live in a very rural area with miles of wooded area- The chances of us finding Tony were slim, Kyle brought him home for us! I miss you Kyle and LOVE you,Thank you for bringing my son home safely. He is safe at home , although he was pretty shook up - He told me without his inhaler he would have died. Tony talked to Kyle the whole way and I KNOW he helped him home! Thank you - YOU BEAUTIFUL ANGEL.

You raised a wonderful boy who has always been and is now an ANGEL!

My LOVE to all of you!

Love Always,

Tami

Kyle,



I am sitting here thinking of you..

feeling alone and very blue.



I love you with ALL my heart, I know we will not always be apart.



I say my prayers evry night, when I say your name I see a bright light.



Your smile brought so much joy,

you were such a wonderful boy.



Thank you for bringing me to feel so close to your family,

Now I know why you were SO wonderful!



One more thing before I go keep your eye on your family, they miss you much!



Someday Kyle we will all be in touch!



Love,

Tami

I didn`t know Kyle personally, but I`ll ALWAYS remember him. He was a great guy from what my friend {Crisi Doane} told me about him. He was so caring, thoughtful, sweet,and funny but best of all..he was ALWAYS smiling! Crisi always told me wonderful things about Kyle. R.I.P Kyle! Stay strong and God Bless Don,Joy,Katie,Justin and Jason.



Amanda



*Kyle..we all miss and love you!

Dear Joy & Family,

Words cannot express what you are going through at this time. I was shocked to hear about your son when I came to work Monday morning. Only to put 2 & 2 together, I was @ the game that evening watching Mundelein Stallions. My son played the last 4 years with them, the nite game is always the highlight of the season. At the end of the game I heard others mentioning the the coach for Fox Lake was requesting an ambulance for one of the players, we had left after the ambulance arrived. I did hear on the news that weekend of the loss but had no idea it was your son. I know he'll always be in your heart & thoughts your angel up above. God Bless

Dear Don,Joy,Katie,Jason&Justin,

I have to many memories of kyle i dont know where to start. The one that truly sticks out the most and just ultimately shows the loving character that kyle has.........is when we were in missouri, i had brought my friend and trevor (my brother) brought kyle which wasnt a suprise because kyle is part of our family and will always be remembered in our hearts,prayers and dreams. Anyway, it was probably about 1:00 A.M. and i was fishing out on the dock with Kyle and my friend brennan. My brother got tired and had already gone inside. my friend did the same somewhere around this time but i did not want to go in yet so kyle started to leave and he turned around after he had woken up out of a deep sleep and said "i'll stay with you, im not gonna leave you out here by yourself." and he set the stuff down and layed down right there on the picknick table and went to sleep and ended up staying out there with me til i woke him up at about 3:00 A.M. That memory just shows how caring, how Sweet, he is, How loving he is, and what makes me miss him the most. he was my brothers best friend and was like a brother to me. i remember my grandma would always say "that kyle boy must be a really really good friend because my brother would get bossy at times." and he was! but kyle would do anything for anyone, thats just the way he is and not only would he do it but i dont everr remember seeing him with out a goofy little sneeky smile like he was up to something but he really wasnt all he was doing was making my day better just with the famous smile and then his little chuckle at the end. i miss that. i think about kyle and pray to him everyday and i would give the world to have him back but remember everything happens for a reason, and there must have been a REALLY good reason that only god knows to have taken such a sweet sole like kyle from us so soon. I know he is doing good and probably just worrying about his family because he adored and loved you all.but he will always be in our hearts and prayers and i will always miss him. but we gotta remember its all in gods plan and he is always there. i miss you incredibly kyle i love you! LLAB



take care Don,Joy,Katie,Jason&justin, i hope you are all doing well and i wish the best for you. hopefully me, trevor, my mom,matt, and my sister will see you soon, i love you all!



Sincerely,

Anthony D. Koza

Dear Kyle,

I miss you with ALL my heart.

I am starting to understand why the Lord had to take you away.

This day to day process helps me understand, that I know we will all be together again someday.

I know you are here, somehow, someway.

I see your smile in every candle I light.

I feel your warmth like a blanket at night.

You gave wonderful memories to everyone you met.

That's a great thing about you - I will never forget.

Trevor has a way to go - but he is learning that someday you'll be together again, to walk, run and throw.



Watch over your family, they miss you SO much -

Someday we all will be again together to feel your touch!





Missing you with all my heart,

Love,

Tami

I love him, I miss him and I pray for Kyle and all of you daily. He is in the arms of an angel - as his wings grow he watches over everyone!

This has to be a horrible time of year for you - I wish I could ease your pain - I love and miss you all! I will see you over Thanksgiving weekend.

Love with all my heart,

Tami

Dear Don, Joy, Katie, Jason and Justin,

Kyle brought us closer and I am thankful for that - he has made an impact on my life FOREVER!!!

I miss him everyday as I am sure you all do to! I have never felt such a strong bond to a child as I did with Kyle ( beside my own children) He will always feel like one of my own and I miss him daily more and more. I know he is beaming down and trying to help us heal and he does not want us to suffer - we have somehow got to try to remember all the good times and somehow this "day by day" you told me about Joy might be the alternative we all need! Everytime the sun shines I see his smile, anytime someone falls asleep during a movie or car ride I see him! Everytime I look at Trevor I see the one thing missing that I, you, no one can replace - KYLE. I think of ALL of you all the time! I will do anything for you at anytime, please remember that and call if you need anything. Your whole family is so connected with the Lord, laughter, smiles and strength. Kyle infected too many to list and you should be proud that you ALL contributed to his wonderful personality - ALL of you!

Katie, you and the boys had us fooled for sooooo long by answering the phone "DOMINOS" - we thought we were going crazy! I am still gonna call and it would be nice to hear you say " Can I take your order?" - just kidding -Please remember, he is still with us - just not how we want him to be! - Someday , we all will be in the same place - HE is watching over all of us and I truly believe - he would want us to celebrate his life with us and continue on our own journeys too! At times it will be difficult - somehow we will get thru it! I expect a visit from you all in Missouri - we want make you swallow any minnows or jump from any cliffs - but the Scuba Steve gear is ready and waiting! I LOVE ALL OF YOU!! I hope the healing process gets easier for all of us!

BELIEVE in yourself, the Lord and that Kyle is watching and caring for all of you!

I feel as part of my heart left with him -I feel he was one of my own - or what Trevor and him used to call it "brothers from another mother" I like that one!

Donald and I have been extremely blessed to have four children, Katie (14), Kyle (12), Jason & Justin (11) all which have unique qualities, on September 28, 2003 God called home our beautiful son, Kyle. Kyle is our 2nd child and first born son, he is a friend to many. He has such a sweet spirit and had the world at his fingertips. When he passed away we were to say the least shocked. How were we going to go on as a family and still be complete without him here. We have been blessed to have a lot of faith and eternal knowledge that have helped us to understand and accept this challenge. Through our loss we have been blessed to have had an extreme amount of love, support and most of all prayers that have helped us get grow stronger as a family. We are thankful to you all for your contributions, prayers, love and support. Kyle I love you so much and our family misses your sweet smile!! Love Always and Forever!!

Joy:

There are no words sad enough to describe the pain of the loss of your beloved son, Kyle. My prayers are with you and your family.

Joy, there are no words. Just know that you are surrounded by friends and there are many prayers going out to you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make this time easier for you. Your family is in my prayers!

Dear Don, Joy, Jason, Justin, and Katie ~



Kyle's beautiful service and the tremendous support of your faith community left a lasting mark on many yesterday. Dawn's heartfelt words, and the touching tributes from the people Kyle touched during his life, speak clearly about what this young man's purpose was here on earth.



He made you proud while he was here with you -- and he continued making you proud yesterday. The values that Kyle learned and clearly lived by are important for all of us; within them is the power to change lives.



We all looked at our children, and ourselves, in a new light this week. We realized that, whether few or many, the days we've been given together are all important, all precious, and our lives entwine with others in ways we can never imagine. This we learned from Kyle.



We love you all.



Cathy, Mark, Genie and Natalie

OMG! kyle was the greatest and funniest kid eva! he will neva be able to be replaced! no matter what he will always be in mah heart and prayers and i hope that the lippo family does okay. especially katie if u eva need a friend to talk to or jus sum1 to have a shoulder to cry on i will always be here 4 u!

The Herzeg Family

Elaine, Jeanine, Tracey, Scott, Anne, Isaac, Carolyn & Daniel

Our family will never forget your son. My daughter Jodi and Kyle were good friends at school. She would like to share a memory with you of Kyle. They were on the playground together on the Friday before his passing and talked about many of their favorite and funny memories of last year in 6th grade. The last thing he said to her before going in from recess was "These were good times!". She enjoyed his company and talked about him fondly. She made a poster to hang in our home for our family and friends to sign, she wrote, "You always put a smile on someone's face, you always had a smile on your face that spread joy to everyone. You were everyone's best friend and everyone will miss you". God bless your family.

Lippo Family

I am very sad to hear news of the passing fo Kyle. Kyle went to my school and was the type of kid who made everyone's day much better. He will always be remembered.

Mr. and Mrs. Lippo I don't no how I would get through this without you guys you have to be the most incredible people on this planet you are the most strong people if it wasn't for you I would have probably broken down but you just kept telling me not to ask why why why you told me that god had this planned and that he was in a better place and I can't ever thank you enough for that. Katie,Justin and Jason you guys stay strog Ok you guys each remind me of Kyle in some way. When I saw Kyle at the veiwing yesterday I felt in my heart that Kyle was in a better place. I no why god wanted him close to him........because he was a true ANGEL on Earth. Words can't explain what I feel for him but all I no is I love him and I no I'm gonna miss him. Alex Mejia said that he was a brother he never had I think that is true for everyone. I love you guys and yoy are in my prayers. **^I MISS YOU KYLE^**

Dear Lippo Family,



Kyle is a wonderful young man. I was very proud to work with him for a time in scouts and the youth program. I know our Father in Heaven has a plan and purpose for all things and Kyle is surely doing the Lord's work at this moment. Keep the faith. May the Lord bless you with the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Remember the glorious blessings of the Atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ and you will know peace and comfort. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.



Sincerely,



The Forsberg Family

I never had the chance to know Kyle personally ,but my son(Wayne) meet him at a mutual friends house(Alex Mejia). This tragic loss has made our family realize that some people walk into our lives and leave an everlasting foot print on our hearts. all of our prays and condolences go out to kyle's family.

My family and I wish to extend to you our deepest sympathy. We cannot begin to imagine what you must be going through. However, through our faith, we can not only be thankful for Kyle's time here on earth, but we can rejoice in the everlasting life ahead of him in heaven.



My son and I first learned of Kyle's passing during our own football practice this week in Lake Villa. I would like you to know that everyone in the Timberwolves organization was saddened by the news, and that the thoughts and prayers of the players and parents are with you now.



We were told today that all of our Saturday games will be postponed in remembrance of your son. We pray that God will grant you peace on this day, and that you will be comforted by the knowledge that Kyle is with the Lord now.

I just wanted to say I am so sorry to hear about your son. My heart goes out to you and your family. I can never say I understand what you are going threw, just know that he is in a better place and he is watching over you and your family. God just needed his little "ANGEL" sooner than you could imagine. May God Bless you and your family.

Joy you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Deepest condolences to you, it is hard to lose someone you love. The best advice i can think of is take each day slow and remember what kyle did in the time he was here and remember that someday you will be reunited with him.

With love!

Joy & the Lippo family,



You have my sincere condolences on the lost of your loved one. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I search my mind to come up with something profound, however, all I come up with is ... keep it simple. I know Kyle is fine, and celebrating his new life with God, and I just pray with my whole heart and soul that God will watch over and protect his family during this time of grief. I know how strong your faith is and I hope you all can find the consolation you need through the love of God. My heart goes out to all of you and my love and my prayes are with you all daily. We don't have to understand we just have to put our faith in God. Kyle will be with us always, just in a different way. I think we can pray to him too now as his voice is very close to God's ear.

Joy, you and your family are in my prayers.

Dear Joy and Family,



My deepest sympathy on the loss of your son Kyle. You and your family will be in our prayers.

My daughter Natalie Linares was a close friend and classmate of Kyle's last year as well as this year. They road the school bus together, had lunch and classes together. We want you to know that we are very sorry for your loss and our deepest thoughts and prayers are with your family. Kyle was very special to Natalie and she is deeply saddend and misses him so much. May God Bless Your Family.

Joy -



Hearing of your loss hits close to home; my son plays football in the same division. Our prayers and condolences go out to you and your family. May God bless you.

Now Kyle is in Heaven watching & protecting the rest of the Lippo family. Have faith & be strong.

Remember that you loss is shared by many friends who care and that your're in our thoughts and hearts and in our every prayer. May you find the courage to face tomorrow in the love that surrounds you today. May the love of friends and family be a source of comfort to you today. It will be the little things that you will remember the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter and although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memory of these little thing that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again. Those who live in the hearts of others.....Never die.

To the Lippo Family,

I did not know your son, but I can't even begin to fathom what you are going through. Our 7 year old son plays for Round Lake Spartans, on the Batam Gold team. At not even 40 lbs. he will smack whoever gets in his way. He is fearless. This is his second year, and I am getting more nervous as ever. The entire Round Lake Spartans feel awful about this tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and please know God will take great care of him.

He will always be the shining star you see each night. And he will always be looking out for his family and the rest of the football teams. God needed an Angel and he chose Kyle. Again, our thoughts and prayers are with you always during this difficult time.



The Woolum's Family

Dear Joy, Don and Family,

Words can not convey our condolences on the passing of your son Kyle. We will pray for you and your family, that the pain you feel today and always will be slightened by the thought of Kyle resting peacefully in Grandma Ida's loving arms. God bless all of you. Love Pat, Les, Chris Cioch, Kathy Cioch-Hernandez and Tony Hernandez.

To Kyles Brothers and Sister,

I know what you are going through. The same thing happened to me when my sister Taylor died last year. Her and Kyle sound like they have a lot in common. Like I miss my sister Taylor, I KNOW how much you miss your brother Kyle. I will think of Taylor and him every night.

Your friend,

Tremor Davison

To The Lippo Family,

As many will tell you that they sympathize and cannot understand what you are going through, I can honestly tell you I know EXACTLY what you are going through. We lost are precious daughter Taylor to very similar circumstances last Sept. 2002 I know in my heart that My Taylor was there to meet Kyle and welcome him with open arms. If you ever need to talk to parents that went and are still going through the grieving process, please feel free to call or write any time day or night. We are listed in the phone book. With everything that happened with your precious Kyle, I have started my grieving all over again. My heart goes out to you and your family in this very difficult time. From reading the guest book, I can tell that you Joy are a very strong person and you will need to be for a long long time. Kyle sounds to be just as wonderful a kid as my Taylor is. He will be greatly missed and please rest assured that he now has a new friend up in Heaven named Taylor Davison. As I talk to her every night, I tell her to let Kyle know that he will be missed terribly and that she can teach him all she has learned while she has been up there. She will help him out with anything he needs and who knows, maybe he can also teach her a thing or two. My deepest sympathies to the entire Lippo Family. May God be with you all. All of my thoughts are with you. Know that Our 2 Angels are watching over all of us each and every day. May God Bless you all,

Susan Davison (Taylor's Mom)

dear kyle and his family, we will always miss u kyle. , god bless ur soul, i give u my best of prayers.you were the best friend i could ever have, i love you.
