My Younger Brother Kyle
Just wanted to let you guys know that Today is a pretty big feckin day. Kyle, my younger brother, (Alex's older brother) is walking across the stage today with his diploma. For those of you who dont know, Kyle started life over again at the age of 16 (he will be 21 years old in 2 months) after a horrible dirtbike accident. He has overcome a coma, life support, over 8 surgeries, more metal than a hardware store, over 2 months in the hospital, almost 2 years of rehabilitation therapy, (physical, mental, occupational, and speech) and today, his is a HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE!!!
He is not a member on here, he came out to the Cop Shop TaTa show a couple months ago, but I just felt the need to share with you guys.
http://www.sptimes.com/2006/08/24/He...a_danger.shtml
That is the St. Pete Times article about him. He was wearing his helmet, and he still messed himself up.
I ask you all, if you, your children, brothers, sisters, cousins, nephews, nieces, or friends ride any type of ATV, 4wheeler, or anything, please, PLEASE make sure they wear the proper protective equipment. All it takes is one accident. You will never understand what something like this can do to a person and a family...its been a very VERY long bumpy road, but at last.....KYLE IS A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE!!!!!
Today is a day I will never forget!!!

A great chapter in his, yours and your family's lives ("is walking across the stage today with his diploma") after such a tragic event. It takes a strong, determined person and family to overcome such an event.
Congratulations to Kyle, you and your family...that's awesome!!
Thanks for sharing this with us, Kevin. And please, if your brother attends another show I am at, please introduce us as I would like to meet him and shake his hand.

Congrats Kyle, don't ever believe you can't achieve. Much respect for following your dreams and obtaining them, that is a dangerous man.
Great outcome and now his future is open, with the continued support from his bro's and family I'm sure he will go onto great things
