Today would have been
Kile's 25th birthday. It's been just over a year now since Kile was lost. I was able to meet his mother, Nanette, last night at The Dell Diamond before the Express home opener against the Oklahoma Redhawks. She and some of Kile's friends were going to be doing a couple of things to celebrate today. At the time of Kile's funeral, his family requested that
in lieu of flowers, contributions be made into one of two memorial funds they had set up. If you'd like to give Kile a birthday present, consider making a contribution to one (or both, if you have the means and the desire) of these funds.
The 1st Lt. Kile West Memorial Fund (Austin Area Benefits)
Regions Bank, P.O. Box 249,
Hutto, TX 78634, account #8457016247.
These funds will be utilized to provide scholarships for deserving Hutto High School students.
Kile Grant West Memorial Scholarship (Houston Area Benefits)
% San Jacinto College Foundation
4624 Fairmont Parkway, Suite 208
Pasadena TX 77504
(281) 998-6104
These funds will be utilized to provide scholarships for deserving students to attend San Jacinto College in the Houston Area.

What do you think about doing a profile of Kyle for THN? You're a great writer and already know most of his story and family, right? What do you think? I can help you with it.
