Leave a tribute for Kyle Blackburn Brown.
Kyle, thanks for always being a friend no matter what, when I would call you were always there, you were like the brother I didn't have, I miss you! And love you, but God needs you more and it was your time to go!
This hurts. You were one of a kind and I hope you aren't in pain any longer. You are missed❤️
I can't believe I'm reading this. I wasn't even looking for this, this morning. I was just thinking about Kyle the other day. I know he had his vices, everybody has something, but he never let that stop him from treating people the way they deserved to be treated. He showed me respect when I had none to give myself and always reminded me I was better than what I had accepted for myself. He always talked about missing the family man he once had the chance to be and I always hoped maybe he could get that back one day. Pray for the people of our town. There is something that has taken hold of our country and is taking so many wonderful souls. Fly high brother.
Rip
I’m so sorry. You are in my prayers.
Earline and Robert: Losing a child is the most hurtful experience any mother or father can experience. I have been in your shoes. God has you in his arms and He will get you through this. Remember the joyful times together. Time and God will help you in the days to come❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kyle, I cannot believe I am even here typing this. It's hard to believe you are gone. So many teenage memories come to mind that I cannot pin-point which ones to share. I remember that one summer that we were inseparable. If you saw you, you saw me. I remember driving around in the wee hours of the morning in your red jeep, always going somewhere and doing something. I treasure those memories, especially now. I know you battled demons, but your heart was pure, and I will never forget you and your smile. Jamey & Earlene, I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.
RIP my friend
Earlene, Jamie, Will & Bailey sorry for your loss. Y'all are in our Prayer's now & the day's ahead. Kyle was a nice young man he had a heart of gold. I can't imagine what you're going through he's the same age as our daughter they graduated together.. Love all of you
Love you bud! Watch over us! Your time here was too short but I know you’re living the best life now. You are healed my friend! 🫶🏻
