This memorial was created in the memory of our loved one, Kyle Kelly McCarthy who was born in Wisconsin on June 27, 1992 and passed away on October 10, 2005 at the age of 13. We will remember him forever.
Kyle was a fun loving boy and was ALWAYS smiling! His smile could melt your heart and made you remember what it was like to be a kid.His innocence and sincerity was evident in his desire and willingness to always help people, he always wanted everyone to be happy – just like he was.His big heart and pleasant nature was contagious infecting all those whom came into contact with him evoking a sense of pride and happiness- just for knowing him.
He is loved and missed every minute. Kyle loved the outdoors, hunting with his dad and brother, playing video games, playing with his dog Abby, playing with his little cousins, and loved going to watch his brother’s wrestling matches and dreamed up becoming a police officer to help those in need.He loved summer. We would go on family trips to our relative’s house. While we were there he loved knee-boarding, driving the wave-runner (not to fast - mom was alway watching), fishing, and swimming with his godfather/cousin and his other 2 other cousins. He loved camping with our other relatives and playing with his younger cousins. He looked forward to going to the Dells every year around 4th of July with the neighbors. He would always have one special week/weekend going up to the relative’s house and staying there and hanging out with his special little cousins.Kyle was the ‘light’ in our lives and while he was only with us for a short time his life has changed us all. We will always love him but we know he is not alone, he is with those whom have passsed (grandparents and cousin) and in God’s loving embrace looking down on us and SMILING and proud of his family for their strength and courage to keep going.
~*I Can Only Imagine*~
I can only imagine What it will be like When I walk By Your side I can only imagine What my eyes will see When Your face Is before me I can only imagine
~*Dream Big*~
When you cry be sure to dry your eyes, cause better days are sure to come. And when you SMILE be sure to smile wide, and don't let them know that they have one. And when you walk, walk with pride, and don't show the hurt inside, because the pain sill soon be gone.
And when you dream, dream big, as big as the ocean blue. Cause when you dream it might come true. When you dream, dream big.
And when you laugh be sure to laugh out loud, cause it will carry all your cares away. And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself, and it will help you feel okay. And when you pray, pray for strength to help to carry on when the troubles come your way.

When I get where I'm going On the far side of the sky The first thing that I'm gonna do Is spread my wings and fly
I'm gonna land beside a lion And run my fingers through his mane Or I might find out what it's like To ride a drop of rain
Yeah when I get where I'm going There'll be only happy tears I will shed the sins and struggles I have carried all these years And I'll leave my heart wide open I will love and have no fear Yeah when I get where I'm going Don't cry for me down here
I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy And he'll match me step for step And I'll tell him how I missed him Every minute since he left Then I'll hug his neck
Yeah when I get where I'm going There'll be only happy tears I will shed the sins and struggles I have carried all these years And I'll leave my heart wide open I will love and have no fear Yeah when I get where I'm going Don't cry for me down here
So much pain and so much darkness In this world we stumble through All these questions I can't answer So much work to do
But when I get where I'm going And I see my maker's face I'll stand forever in the light Of his amazing grace Yeah when I get where I'm going There'll be only happy tears Hallelujah I will love and have no fear When I get where I'm going Yeah when I get where I'm going
