Brent Nelson Kyle, 54, of Curryville passed away after a brief illness at the Moncton Hospital on December 3rd, 2020. He was born on May 19, 1966 in Newcastle, NB, the son of Paul and Kathleen (Steeves) Kyle.
His early years were spent in New Brunswick, collecting two younger sisters along the way before the family moved to Tidnish, NS in 1974. Brent graduated from Amherst Regional High School in 1984, and completed a Bachelor of Science degree at Saint Mary's University in Halifax in 1988. Brent lived for many years during the 1990's and early 2000's in Victoria, BC, working largely in construction and roofing. He moved home to the Maritimes in 2007, buying a house on Albert Mines Road in Albert County, NB, close to where his parents retired. Brent had a close and special relationship with his grandmother, Mary Ethel Steeves also of Albert Mines Road, until her death in 2017. He was a long time employee and worked with Barry Russell, he was reliable and skilled in tackling a wide-variety of carpentry and construction jobs. Evidence of his handiwork can be seen throughout Albert County and Southern New Brunswick. He was always pointing out to the homes he worked on with pride of a job well done.
Brent was a wonderful uncle. During trips from the west, his nieces enjoyed sledding with him on his fantastic tobogganing hill, laughing at how he'd go "swimming" up to his ankles, teasing him with anything pink, testing his encyclopedic knowledge of geography, and receiving the best, silliest Christmas gifts every year. He will be missed in so many ways, but will always be in our hearts.
Brent is survived by his parents, Paul and Kathleen; companion, Valerie Stickings; sisters, Beth and Vanessa; brother-in-law, Reynold Bergen; precious nieces, Katie and Charlotte Bergen; aunts and uncles, Richard and Susan Steeves, Gordon and Gerri Steeves, Eleanor and Sydney Butland and Dean Kyle; numerous cousins and many friends in New Brunswick, Tidnish and British Columbia. He will also be missed by his special cat, Common.
He was predeceased by his grandparents, Raymond and Mary Ethel Steeves, Donald and Olive Kyle, and aunt Audrey Kyle.
