If you or anyone you love has battled cancer, you know just how devastating it can be to watch them suffer.  Now imagine that person got a 3-6 month life expectancy at just 30 years old.  That is the harsh diagnoses that our beloved Kyle Mathew Stone  was given a few months ago when we learned his Melanoma cancer had spread aggressively.  

Last week, after putting up a hell of a fight, Kyle left us on Earth to go home with God and fly high among the angels.  Though we are grateful for the time we had with him, it certainly wasn't long enough.  There are so many things that Kyle still wanted to achieve, and so many lives he still wanted to touch.  Kyle had so much love to give, and shared this love, his positive spirit, and his silly sense of humor with his family and closest friends.  Kyle's loyalty and respect for those closest to him will be greatly missed.  His love of shoes (like his grandfather) and animals, his devotion to his Bay Area Sports teams, and the soft spot he had in his heart for children are the few of the many things Kyle will be remembered by.  His spirit will live on through the many people's lives he touched, and the impact he left on all of us will never be forgotten.  

In honor of Kyle, his family will be planning a celebration of life in the coming months.  We will also be making a donation under Kyle's name to the Child Abuse Prevention Council of San Joaquin County, which Kyle proudly volunteered at during high school.  We would be so grateful to give a donation in Kyle's name,  and would appreciate any amount of support you can give.  The funds will help the family celebrate and honor Kyle - our son, grandson, cousin, nephew, brother, and friend.
