The late Kyle Wilson, known for his kind and generous nature, passed away in Minneapolis. He was a beloved storyteller, artist, and poet who was deeply committed to helping others, often checking on those living in encampments and organizing aid for them. His untimely death has left a significant void in the hearts of his friends and family.
To honor his life and fulfill his final wish of returning to his Diné homelands, a fundraiser has been organized by Kat Eng. The campaign aims to raise $3,000, of which $720 has already been collected from ten donations. The contributions will go directly to Kyle’s mother, Marcy, and his family to cover the costs associated with bringing him home.
Kyle’s unique ability to touch lives through his art and compassion is evident in his poem, "Kindness Spreading Warmth of Violets," which reflects his deep appreciation for the natural world and the interconnectedness of life. His words continue to resonate, offering comfort and insight into the beauty and resilience of life.
The fundraiser has seen generous support, with donations ranging from $100 by Jeni Grugel to $200 from an anonymous donor, highlighting the impact Kyle had on those who knew him. Despite the sorrow, the community’s collective effort to honor Kyle’s memory and support his family’s wishes exemplifies the enduring power of kindness and solidarity.
