If you've known Kyle Rouse, you understand that he was larger than life in every world in which that he found himself. Kyle liked to communicate regularly with those that he loved, and there was nothing out of bounds in his thoughts and conversations. He spoke candidly a few times about his desire to give his nephews the best of educational opportunities.
Gabrielle was his first cousin and closest relative. He loved her dearly his entire life, and though they grew up 3 hours apart, Kyle and Gabby were always very close. Kyle was raised in Jacksonville, FL by his Mother Joy and his Grandmother Nan, but his Uncle John, Gabby's father, was a major male influence in his early development. In 2011, tragedy struck both Kyle and Gabby. Within the span of a few days in early 2011, Joy passed away from health complications and John McKenzie passed from a horrible incident.
In the years following, Gabby and her husband raised two boys, Layne and John, and Kyle loved them dearly. Kyle's only desire was that Layne and John could attend University and not be prevented from doing so by limited resources.
So, it is the will of Kyle's Family and friends that his Wish become a reality. He wanted nothing more than to do something of this magnitude for Layne and John, building a better future for them.
Please, help Kyle's dream become a reality so that these young men will have the opportunity to build a better world in his honor. Any contribution will have a profound impact on their future.

Miss you Kyle
Kyle was one of my greatest friends and will always be missed. May he Rest In Peace.
Sending love to you, Tony and all those who loved Kyle.
Such a wonderful way for Kyle to remind Layne and John of his love for them. They will go so far in life as they realize how much he believed in them.
May the Lord bless Kyle’s family through this scholarship fund. Praying for Tony , Gabrielle (whom I met when she was a little girl when Kyle and I were in college together), and all of his family during this time of loss. With deepest sympathy, Taylor Richerson
Sending my heartfelt sympathies and condolences to Tony, Kyle's family and loved ones.
Our hearts are saddened but your kindness, generosity and love for family and friends will live on forever. Rest in peace dear Kyle.
Love you sweet Kyle -- see you on the other side.
Rest in Peace Kyle. 🙏
Kyle, I remember our summer before Florida State. We knew life would change. We were ready to go on a new adventure, climb a new mountain. May your family get to dream the way you did. Young at heart and ready to take on the world! You loved learning. You were engaged. Always eager to persevere. Rest in peace at the end of this journey. With Love, Kate
Kyle, May you rest in peace. Education for family members allows your memory to live on. God bless, Norma & Dave
My heart is heavy with the news of your passing. You made so many people happy and always had a smile on your face. I’m praying for your loved ones and so glad they set up this scholarship as your legacy.
Blessed to do this Kyle's memory and to honor my dear friend Tony. Prayers for all who loved Kyle so well.
