Kayle was born in Sandpoint and attended St. Francis Preschool, Sandpoint Community Christian School, Sandpoint Middle School, and graduated from Sandpoint High in 2012.
Kayle loved God, her family, best friend Brandon Gates, his family, and all people. She loved to travel and experience the world.
Her senior year she went with the United Nations Class to New York and loved every minute of it. She traveled with her family to Mexico, the Caribbean, and Disneyland to name a few places. She traveled to Ecuador last year on an unforgettable trip. In June of 2010, she went on a mission trip with the Church of the Nazarene to Honduras. This trip impacted her life; she was a true example of how a person going to serve can grow and learn.
She was signed up to return to Honduras in June of 2014, and planned to take her brother and Brandon with her.
Kayle loved good food, shopping and looking good. During high school she worked at Trinity, Spuds, The Seasons at Sandpoint, Winter Ridge and Schweitzer, always holding multiple jobs simultaneously. She was currently working at Sandpoint Starbuck’s and Shoga; all while attending classes at North Idaho College.
Her dream was to live in New York and attend NYU. She wanted to be a flight attendant to see the world as well as study criminal justice to maybe someday work for the FBI.
