The following obituary was provided by the Kluver family.
Kyle was born July 23, 1995, in Kenosha, the son of Robert and Mary (Henderson) Kluver. He has spent his entire life in Kenosha. He was a 2013 graduate of Tremper High School, and was currently a student and pitcher at Upper Iowa University. Kyle pitched summer baseball for the Kenosha Merchants, but never before a trip to Taco Bell.
Kyle never failed to brighten a room, make you laugh, or just be plain goofy. He was spontaneous, kind-hearted, always loved spending time with family and friends and lived by the motto "Challenge Accepted." From Minnesota trips, fishing, camping, or just sitting around the dining room table with his siblings, Kyle always loved life.
Surviving are his parents Bob and Mary Kluver, two brothers and two sisters; Kurt, Kevin, Kaitlyn, and Kristina; his grandparents; Arnold and Bernadette Kluver all of Kenosha. Also many aunts, uncles, cousins, other relatives, and some pretty awesome friends.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents; Kenneth and Doris Henderson.
