Kyle Denton
Organ Donor
/September 5, 2023
Kyle was 35-years-old when he left this world. He saved 4 lives through organ donation. He was an amazing person full of love and light. He was intelligent and kind. He was a mechanic. He could take all kinds of vehicles apart and put them right back together. He was a friend to many. He spent many hours over the last year of his life doing outreach in the homeless community. I was privileged to spend 11 years with him, and we created a beautiful family. He left behind 4 children and his dog. He will forever be missed, but we are so proud that he was able to save lives so that others could have their loved ones longer.
