Kyle Grant Thorn passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on July 15, 2019 following a courageous battle with cancer. He was born September 24,1968 to James Ashel and Karen White Thorn. He graduated from Springville High School and spent his life working, playing, and serving in that special place he called home.

Kyle was loved by everyone. He saw the best in every person and everything he came in contact with. He was a natural nurturer. Kyle knew what was most important in life. He adored his family and friends. He knew everyone on a first-name basis along with many of their family members. He could also tell you the make, model and year of the cars they drove.

Kyle loved new cars, nice watches, fine jewelry and beautiful things. He enjoyed shopping, nice smelling colognes and traveling. He liked going to movies and munching on popcorn smothered in butter and salt.

People were drawn to Kyle’s kind heart and he always greeted everyone with a sincere hello, how are you and how is your family? No matter where he went, he knew someone and someone always knew him, even if it was half way around the world.

He had a great sense of humor and enjoyed a good belly laugh. He wore shorts in the winter and was hot, hot, hot in the summer. He was a proud father, and an amazing wood worker.

Kyle was a devoted father, son, brother, companion, and friend. He had an unbridled love for his daughter, Hannah, and called her darlin’. He was loyal, compassionate, and empathetic. His never give up attitude was witnessed as he endured chemo therapy for the past 17 months. His motto was, “We Got This!” He had a light in his eyes which reflected his special spirit and Christ-like attributes.
Kyle is survived by his heart and soul partner, Justin Moses; his daughter Hannah (Brayden) Macfarlane; siblings: Debra DeRose, Richard (Sherrie) Thorn, Ryan (Robin) Thorn, Emily (Brent) Wiscombe, and twin sister Karalee (Lindsay) Peterson along with many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents and brother-in-law Dennis DeRose.

Funeral services will begin Saturday at 11:00 am at the same location.

The family would like to express sincere gratitude to the staff at the Oncology center at Revere Health and all other caregivers for their special care.
