In Loving Memory

Kyle Andrew Tomlinson Frohm
May 17, 1985 — September 14, 2009
It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the untimely passing of Kyle Andrew Tomlinson Frohm, a beloved son, brother, partner, and friend, who left this world on September 14, 2009. Born on May 17, 1985, in the serene surroundings of Minnesota, Kyle was a beacon of joy and laughter to all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Kyle was the cherished son of Clifford and Carla Rutledge, whose unwavering love and support shaped him into the remarkable individual he became. He shared an unbreakable bond with his brother Dustin, and together they created a lifetime of treasured memories. Kyle's heart was further filled with love by his significant other, Mary, with whom he shared an adventurous spirit and a deep connection.
As a young man, Kyle graduated in 2003, embarking on a career in welding—a trade that not only showcased his exceptional skill but also his dedication and strong work ethic. His contributions to his craft were admired by colleagues and friends alike, reflecting his commitment to excellence and his penchant for bringing a positive attitude to every task.
Kyle was a devout member of the Catholic community, where he found solace and strength. His faith guided him through life's challenges and inspired those around him to embrace kindness and compassion.
A man of many interests, Kyle found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He was an avid football fan, often found cheering for his favorite team with unyielding enthusiasm. His love for playing the guitar was matched only by his passion for fishing, where he would spend countless serene hours at the water's edge, finding peace in nature's embrace. Kyle's motorcycle was his trusted companion on many journeys, each ride a testament to his adventurous spirit and love for the open road.
Kyle possessed a rare gift for humor, always able to elicit laughter and smiles from those around him. His ability to find joy in the everyday and to share that joy with others was a true reflection of his character. He lived life with a lightheartedness that was infectious, teaching us all the value of laughter and the importance of savoring each moment.
Though his time with us was far too short, Kyle's legacy of love and laughter will endure in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known him. He was predeceased by his beloved grandmother, Alice Rutledge, whose memory he cherished deeply. He leaves behind a family who adored him—his parents, Clifford and Carla, brother Dustin, and significant other Mary—as well as countless friends who were touched by his genuine warmth and humor.
In keeping with Kyle's wishes, a private ceremony will be held to honor his life and bid farewell to a soul who brought light into the lives of many. As we gather to celebrate Kyle's life, we remember him not with sorrow, but with gratitude for the joy he brought and the love he shared.
May his spirit ride free, his laughter echo in our hearts, and his memory be a blessing to us all.
