When Kyle was a little boy he would ask his father, Konrad to tell him stories. Often the story’s came with life lessons in them and eventually Konrad published a book with Kyle and his brother Alexander as the main characters called The Adventures of the Krusaders and The Legend of Wilde Island. This story below is an example of a story Kyle seemed to take to heart. Kyle really wanted to make a difference in people lives.

There was a young man walking down a beach at dawn. He saw a frail old man picking up stranded starfish and throwing them back into the sea. The young man gazed in wonder as the old man threw the small starfish from the sand to the water.


He asked “Old man, why do you spend so much energy doing what seems to be a waste of time?”

The old man explained that the Starfish would die if left in the sun.


“But there must be thousands of beaches, and millions of starfish!” exclaimed the young man. “How can you make any difference?” 


The old man looked for a minute at the Starfish in his hand. Then, as he threw it back to the safety of the sea, he said, “I made a difference to that one!”

Kyle's Chest Tattoo Design

tattoo

Kyle's friend Scott & his

flying pig tattoo.

 

        Kyle’s friend,  Susan is co-owner of  Ink Drop Tattoo Shop in Bellingham WA.  In 2016, when Ink Drop was just opening its doors, Kyle and Susan designed the flying pig tattoo, that he eventually wanted to have her draw on his chest. He specifically asked for the pig to be smiling. Susan says that Kyle’s intention was that if someone told him that something couldn’t be done he could just point to his chest—and say Yes it Can!     

 

      Well, Kyle never actually got the flying pig tattoo on his chest. In 2018 he moved to California.   

 

    Now, Susan is working with Kyle’s parents (Konrad & Cynthia) to make the flying pig into a “logo” with his birthdate, angel date, and “ Be the Change For Kyle  ” logo which they came up with.  Kyle wanted to be the change. He wanted to make a difference. He envisioned living in CA for a few more years, and then moving back to Washington and planned to be a foster dad. Konrad and Cynthia have set up a memorial fund in Kyle’s name  at Skookum Kids, which is a local non-profit agency whose mission is to help improve the foster care system. Susan is in the process of designing Flying Pig Gear and it will be for sale on  Ink Drop’s Etsy page.    100% of the proceeds will be donated to  Kyle’s memorial fund  at Skookum Kids.
