Kyle Felton

Racine – Kyle Scott Felton, age 30, passed away at Froedtert Hospital on Sunday, June 26, 2016 after injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.

Kyle was born in Racine on December 5, 1985 to Scott and Renee (nee: Heldt) Felton. He graduated from JI Case High School in 2004. In Jamaica, on February 11, 2016, he was united in marriage with Vanessa Rae (nee: Hackman), surrounded with the love and presence of their parents. Kyle was employed as the shop manager at Interstate Erecting in Oak Creek.

Kyle never had time to sit down as he was always on the go. Some of his interests included hot rods, four-wheeling, snowmobiling, guns, motorcycles (having built his own), his beloved 1979 Ford truck and, above all, loved spending time with Vanessa. He was an extremely talented / self-taught mechanic who could fix just about anything. With an infectious personality, Kyle’s presence would undoubtedly light up a room. He was always having fun and lived life to the fullest. As a very giving person, even in death – he gave of his kidneys, pancreas and liver to save the lives of others in need through the organ transplant program.
