Kyle Lee Pierce was born September 19, 1995, at the Callaway District Hospital to Ken Pierce and Kay Fahnholz. He was welcomed by three siblings, Kendra, Kimberly, and Robert. He lived fully, breaking every mold and blazing his own trail. Kyle had a magnetic charisma that made many people laugh, smile, and love him unconditionally. He always loved a good race and recognized early that he enjoyed running. He ran with strength and endurance just like it says to in Hebrews 12:1. He always gave God the glory for his incredible ability to beat almost everyone else to the finish line. Being the socialite that he was, Kyle loved to share Jesus and good times with his peers at Merritt Youth Retreat, Camp Sonshine, Dare2Share, and the Berean Church ASALT Youth Group. He made many friends, but always cherished his best ones. Colter Glendy, best friend from birth, sends Kyle away with his football jersey and championship belt buckle. After high school, Kyle trained to go into the U.S. Marines. Like anything else that he did, he approached it with determination and gusto, making many great friends along the way. Kyle worked for Thomas Livestock Company managing a hog barn. Kyle designated that he wished to be an organ donor, and through the good work of Good Samaritan Hospital, Nebraska Organ Recovery, and God’s grace, his organs and tissues were donated to many anticipating families. Kyle is survived by many who loved him dearly, Ken Pierce, Kay and Darrell Fahnholz, Kendra and Brett Nason, Kimberly and Aaron Ideus, Robert Pierce, Wyatt Glos, Harper Nason, Shirley Pierce, Dan and Amy Lewandowski, Greg Pierce, Sulin Pierce, Brandy and Justin Mason family, Sheena Lewandowski, Amy and Corey Carnahan family, Kelly and Derek Stake, Evan Vincent, Kevin and Kim Fahnholz family, Kristy and Kurt Nixon family, Kory and Haley Fahnholz family, Kelly and Summer Fahnholz family, extended grandparents Jiggs and Jean Gorn, and many more beloved friends and extended family.
