Kyle Robert Niemackl

Kyle Robert Niemackl, 40, of Shawnee, Kansas, our beloved son, husband, father, brother and friend, passed away Thursday, December 3, 2009 after a courageous battle with cancer.

He was a member of the Kansas City Home Builders Association, helping hundreds of families realize their dreams. His brilliant smile, which would literally light up a room, will forever live in our hearts. Multi-talented, Kyle was good at just about everything but bowling! He loved Daddy/Daughter dances; baseball coaching with his kids; bar-b-queing with friends; and especially riding his Harley with buddies. His sweet gentle spirit and infectious humor endeared him to many. Kyle was blessed to have so many people love him. We were blessed to know and have him.

Kyle is survived by his loving wife, Vanessa; his mother, Patti Crawford and husband Sam; his father, Donald Niemackl, and wife Denise; a brother, Kurt Niemackl and wife Aimey; three daughters, Allison Niemackl, Haley Latham, and Morgan Latham; two sons, Mason Niemackl, Zachary Latham; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

A celebration of Kyle's life will be 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, December 7, at the Amos Family Chapel of Shawnee.
