Michael Patrick Kyle – Age 57 of West Chester, Ohio passed away on Friday, October 20, 2023.  Mike met the love of his life, Michelle, in June 1986 while Michelle was on her High School Senior Trip in Daytona Beach, Florida.  Excited about spending their lives together, the two were married on September 19, 1992.  Mike worked for F&M Mafco, Inc. for nearly 37 years before retiring in June 2021.  Mike enjoyed the friendships he built with his co-workers over the years.  We were blessed with three children, Stephanie, Zachary and Emily.  His love for his children knew no bounds, his children were his greatest source of pride and joy.  Mike’s love for his family was immeasurable.  He valued the time we spent together.  He insisted on family vacations, and never let an important moment go uncelebrated.  While Mike loved his role as husband and father, one of his favorite roles was that of Grandpa.  Mike cherished his time with his granddaughter, Aubrey.  They were inseparable, Paw Patrol buddies. They loved watching Paw Patrol, Scooby Doo, being outdoors, going to parks, riding bikes and swimming.  Mike was born on May 11, 1966, to the late Edward and Judy (Diesman) Kyle.  He is preceded in death by his uncle Bob Ahrens and cousin Robyn Ahrens.  He is survived by his brother, Edward Kyle II, his aunt Dorothy Ahrens-Callihan, his cousins Debbie (Rob) Clemens, Karen (Doug) Wolfram, Lisa Austing, Chris Thomas, Cindy (Dwight) Collins.  Mike is also survived by his father/mother-in-law Dan and Mary Lou Wood, aunt Susan Dietrich, brother-in-laws /sister-in-laws Patrick (Melynda) Wood, Eileen (Len) Werdman, Mike (Jenny) Wood, Kathy Smith, Tim (Theresa) Wood, and his 36 nieces/nephews.  Mike loved to entertain.  When we were looking at homes 5 years ago, his key requirement was to find a home where we could entertain our family and friends in.  Mike was an avid Cincinnati sports fan.  He loved attending & watching the Cincinnati Bengals, Cincinnati Reds, and FC Cincinnati games.  He hosted a Super Bowl party for the past 20 years with his friends and their children who became family, Tim/Cindy Billinghurst, Todd/Chris Harrison, Jeff/Teri Eagle, Steve/Jackie Capano, Lou/Kathy Yorio, Bill/Sandy Wietmarschen, and Keith/Kim Miller.  Mike was always ready to lend a helping hand and always had tools to fix whatever needed fixing.  Mike also loved gadgets.  He was always looking for something to make life a little easier.  He shared his love of gadgets with his mother-in-law, Mary Lou.  Mike touched the lives of all who knew him, and his presence will be deeply missed.  Some people come into our lives and quickly go while others stay and leave footprints in our hearts, and we are never the same.  We will take comfort in our memories and know that we have a guardian angel watching over us.  Visitation will be held Friday, October 27, 2023 from 4 – 8PM at Avance Funeral Home and Crematory, 4976 Winton Rd., Fairfield, OH, 45014.
