KYLE PATRICK GREEN Kyle was born on March 18, 1986, just shy of being a St. Patrick's day baby. Kyle passed away in his sleep on May 19, 2012. Kyle was an intuitive person who loved to make new acquaintances and socialize with family and friends. In grade school, he was proud of being selected as a conflict resolution representative to help his peers with problems at school as well as being the school patrol leader. He was always creative in his story writing. The first real spark for this passion come in grade school when his peers loved his work so much they asked him to continue a short story into an entire series, which the teacher asked him to read every Tuesday to the class. While working through his B.A. in Communication Studies from the University of Winnipeg, Kyle was able to mentor under Margaret Sweatman, a veteran Manitoban author who persuaded him to communicate his work through poetry. Through this inspiration, Kyle got involved in the Winnipeg poetry scene, doing readings, as well as performances of favorite poets such as Sylvia Plath. After graduating, he moved to Montreal to focus on creating performance art. Kyle is survived by his father, David, mother, Leslie, brother, Sean, his Grandmas Evelyn Dempsey and Hetty Hedgecock, as well as several uncles, aunts, and cousins. A celebration of his life will be held at the Sunova Centre, 48 Holland Rd. on Thursday, June 7, 2012. A short service will occur at 2:00 p.m., and then come and go until 4:00 p.m.

Condolences & Memories (18 entries)

  • I had the pleasure of resting my tired body on this bench that was so graciously placed here by the very people that knew him and loved him the most. Isn’t it such a beautiful and wonderful thought that even through his death he is still blessing people today because of the kind hearts of his parents and family. I truly believe that whenever somebody rests here on this bench there is a little bell that goes off in heaven as a friendly reminder that you are not forgotten. Please know Kyle Patrick that I prayed for you and your family. Rest my friend…. Rest….. Gary O - Posted by: Gary O (Stranger but brothers in Christ) on: May 05, 2025

  • I sat on your bench in the park with my mother today, and was taken aback by the dates, so I had to learn more. This visit was well timed, for many reasons, in many ways, which is hard to express, yet needs no further expression, and will not be forgotten. Thank you for the beautiful spot and moment of pause. Much love. - Posted by: Erin (None) on: Jul 05, 2020

  • Sending loving thoughts, strength and comfort to you and your family Leslie on this day. Thank you for sharing your story with me a few weeks ago. "Those we love, don't go away.

  • I was runnimg in the park today and rested on the bench that was in your name. You must have been a special person and your family did you right with the nice bench and lovely view of the river. Rest in Peace Kyle. - Posted by: Chris Halliday (Stranger ) on: Aug 03, 2013

  • I remember the first time I met you, it was a cold night in Fall. You were full of life smiling; wanting to engage in a conversation. We hit it off right away. We always talked about hanging out more. It only happend a few times but in those few encounters, you touched my soul. I will never forget your light. - Posted by: Christina (Friend) on: Dec 21, 2012

  • Kyle we love and miss you so much. - Posted by: Hetty and Charmaine Hedgecock (Grandmother and aunt) on: Aug 19, 2012

  • Kyle lived his life with a ferocity that is only marginally attainable by few in their lifetime. His magnetic personality commanded a great degree of authenticity from the people he surrounded himself with, and I believe that was his gift to the world. He found delight with the simple things in life. He approached situations with great care, and he was unrepentant in the way he chose to face challenges. Those qualities are part of what made him sublime. We love you. We miss you already. We will always have you in our hearts.

As for today, it is yours, so work in it." - Hasan Al Basri - Posted by: Zaira Judee (Friend) on: Jun 09, 2012

  • I'm so very sorry to hear about Kyle's passing. He was an unforgettable presence, full of hope and invention, with a wonderful voice. This is a difficult loss. I'm also sorry to miss the memorial today, June 7th. I'm tied up with my recently widowed mother this week. Odd, to be caring for the very aged, while we all grieve the loss of the young. I hope that you'll find peace, and reassurance in the memory of your marvellous son. - Posted by: Margaret Sweatman (Teacher) on: Jun 07, 2012

  • Our Beautiful friend Kyle.... Looking, searching, the recesses deep within. Urgent, the sense of constant wisdom. I'm brought to bend, to see the distant trail, a bright Spring's day boroque. Farther, angst, outside looking in, I loose the knot of yearning. Against the miry sea, I cast the burdens hark, for outside distance seems to reckon, again on this Spring's day decree. A gentle smile, an image of lost reflection, your welcome embrace. The bridge, unanimous, hope, love, undivided. Light beget no darkness, a season sewn of bright unyielding sun. Count this time, a day never lost, but a solitude to regain. Closer forward, arising strong. Beautiful, unchanging friend, our Kyle. -Jesse Fidelack My deepest condolences to Kyle's family. He is truly a gem and will never be forgotten xx - Posted by: Jesse Fidelack (friend) on: May 26, 2012

  • Kyle was and will always be a very special person. Always optimistic, never let anything hold him back or down. He inspired those around him with his zest for life. Most of all he was family to me, I don't have family here in Winnipeg.. he was like my little bro. Paint the stars baby. - Posted by: Kitty Kittie (Friend) on: May 25, 2012

  • Deep condolences in the loss of your son and brother. The loss of a child is a truly sad event. May you find strength in the memories of your beautiful son. - Posted by: Herb Bagnall (relative) on: May 23, 2012

  • Kyle was a truly amazing person. Full of energy, positivity and one of the most understanding people I have ever met. I am so happy to have the opportunity to have had him as a close friend. Kyle had always been there for me, his laughter and smile always lifted my spirits in times of need. I never met someone so caring and selfless as Kyle. Kyle really knew how to live life to the fullest and was a real icon to us adults. I still cannot believe that he has passed and he will truly be missed. What I will miss about Kyle is that he wasn't shy about who he was or what he believed in. He just was - Kyle, one of the most genuine, kind people I have ever met. I appreciate his insight on life, his wisdom and how he was never a person to judge another. To Kyle's family, God bless you. You truly had a wonderful son and you really raised Kyle to be quite a remarkable man. May his legacy live on. Let us all follow in Kyle's example; never be afraid to be who yourself, you are good enough, keep living, keep laughing and keep loving. I love you, Kyle. I hope you knew that.

  • Kyle was a truly remarkable boy. It's hard to imagine someone as understanding, sympathetic and enthusiastic about the diversity of people. That was Kyle though, caring, supportive, inquisitive, warm-hearted and of course funny. He took people for who they were and was not afraid or ashamed to love them for it, flaws and all. His honesty amazed me, his modesty humbled me and his spirit enriched me. I am content to know that he was someone who found life in every moment and light in every person. The world needs more people like Kyle, I feel so lucky to have had him in my life. He will not know the impact he has had, but he knew that he was loved. - Posted by: Emma Campbell (Friend) on: May 23, 2012

  • Kyle was an old soul. He became a dear friend of mine. He always had a listening ear and words of understanding. I can honestly say I've never met a more genuine person or more kind. I was so sorry to hear this news! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He touched so many lives, I know he will be terribly missed. - Posted by: Naomi Swan-Lake (Friend/ worked together at Starbucks) on: May 23, 2012

  • We are so deeply sorry to hear of Kyle's death. Our son, Alex, and our daughter, Hannah, both knew Kyle (from Winnipeg) and thought so highly of him. His passing must be such a terrible shock for you all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. - Posted by: David & Karen Dempsey, High River, AB () on: May 22, 2012
