Obituary of Kenneth Robert Kyle

The peaceful passing of Kenneth Kyle, loving husband of 58 years to Maureen M. (Ogden) Kyle, occurred on Tuesday, January 3, 2017 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born in Saint John on May 14, 1935, he was a son of the late William Hugh and Laura (Crawford) Kyle. Kenneth worked as an Engineering Associate for NBTel for 42 years. He was a member of the Telephone Pioneers of New Brunswick, and expressed his love of music by drumming with the Caledonia Pipe Band. His passion in life was his family; he was foremost a husband, Dad, grandfather, and great-grandfather. In addition to his devoted wife, Maureen, Kenneth is survived by their children: Kenneth (Cheryl), Pamela DeCourcey-Britton (Doug), Stephen (Sharon), Kevin (Heather), and David (Monique); grandchildren: Meghan and Andrew, Kelly and Ryan, Aaron and Taylor, Alex, Adam, James and Neil, Michael and Jeffrey; great-grandchildren: Beau and Capri; sisters: Christina Crawford, Joan Bradford, and Marion Whelan; and several nieces and nephews. Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his brother, Charles; and his sisters: Claire and Kay. Arrangements are under the care of Brenan’s Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row, Saint John (634-7424). In keeping with Kenneth’s wishes there will be no visitation or funeral service. There will be a private celebration of Ken’s life at a later date. Remembrances may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society, CNIB, or a charity of the donor’s choice and may be placed at www.brenansfh.com. A special thank you from the family to the nursing staff of 4C North, SICU, and Palliative Care.
