Kyle Ripple

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” ~ Romans 8:38-39

Kyle Edward Ripple, servant of our Lord Christ Jesus, received his eternal crown of righteousness on April 12, 2022. A genuine spirit, with a heart of gold who loved others fiercely and compassionately. Kyle was born on October 12,1982 and grew up in Baton Rouge, LA. He graduated from Parkview Baptist High School and went on to finish his studies at Nicholls State University. He was a gifted athlete who excelled at anything he put his mind to. He was an All-State football and basketball player and more importantly, a great teammate. He loved his teammates and his friends with all he had. Kyle had a passion for sports. He knew every player of every college and professional team and was our “go to” person for anything March Madness. His passion for sports matched his passion for people. He was an avid storyteller who could engage any room, laughing or crying as they too, felt every moment as if they were the hero of the story. Kyle’s best days were spent with his two boys, watching them chase their own dreams or just fishing on the side of a pond. He was so proud of them and so proud to be their dad. He loved his nieces and nephews and was so honored to be their Uncle Kyle. His greatest joy was spending time with his two boys and the rest of his family. He loved making his favorite people on this earth happy. He lived to please others.
