Kyle David McCullugh, 16

Kyle David McCullugh, 16, of Kalispell passed away from injuries suffered in a vehicle-pedestrian accident near Plains on Saturday morning, March 3, 2007. He was born June 1, 1990, in Ronan to Leo David and Lisa M. (Stewart) McCullugh. He attended schools in Ronan, Pablo, Vaughn, Kalispell and Plains.

He most recently worked with Preston Mitchell as a mechanic and Sonny Miller as a carpet layer. Kyle had signed up for the U.S. Army and was planning on going to active duty at the age of 17.

He loved sports, video games, fishing and four-wheeling, the outdoors, dancing, singing and joking. He tried hard to be a comedian. Everyone who knew him loved him. He had a big heart, and five minutes after meeting him he left an imprint on your heart.

His great-grandmothers, Mildred Lubitz and Bernice Shinnick, preceded him in death.

Kyle is survived by his parents, Leo, and his wife, Kimberly Calderaro, of Kalispell, and Lisa Bowden of Paradise; one sister, Amanda McCullugh, of Vaughn; stepbrothers, Steven Mace of Kalispell, and Kevin Mace of Texas; niece, Brooklyn Peterson, of Vaughan; grandparents, Joanne Simmes of Polson, Felix McCullugh of Ronan, and Jeannette and Gayle King of Paradise; great-grandfather, Jerry Shinnick, of Paradise; and numerous other relatives.

Arrangements and cremation are under the direction of Grogan Funeral Home and Crematory in Polson.
