I'm shocked to hear that Kyle has passed away. It feels as if it was yesterday when he joined Apple, and worked together with us. He is a wonderful person and a great colleague. I remember him as someone who is kind, positive, and loves life. I still remember when he said he wishes to settle in Barcelona later in his life.
Farewell, Kyle, you will be truly missed.
