Kye was born October 11th, 1982. He was a family man and a lifelong Montreal Canadians fan. His laugh was contagious and mischievous grin always leaving a lasting impression. No matter how long or far he travelled his favourite place was always home in Newfoundland. Not a man for fancy things. Kye always loved skidooing, hunting and a case of Bud Light in the country with his buddies.
