Monogrammed Brick Stories

Brick: Wackerly, Kyle

Contributed by Jim Wackerly

Kyle was our son, who at age 13 took his own life. He was a pretty typical teen who really wasn't sure which group he fit in with best. There were no significant reasons or signs for the path he chose. He was very bright, perceptive, and witty. When he left us, it was devastating. Our family (my wife and other son) made a vow to each other that we would survive as a family and we have done that. Kyle was an eye, organ, and tissue donor. Through this devastating loss, our faith has been greatly enhanced and strengthened. We value life, family, friends, and God's wonderful creation as we never had before.

In 2012 the Oklahoma Historical Society invited those who purchased one of the monogrammed bricks paving the Red River Journey at the Oklahoma History Center to share about the person or group their brick honors. Below is a list of those who submitted stories and the message shown on their brick. Use the links below to read the contributed story.
