Kyle Price’s Vibrant Legacy Cut Short at 26

Kyle Landon Price was a beloved son, brother, grandson, and friend whose warmth and kindness touched countless lives.

Sadly, he passed away unexpectedly at the age of 26 on January 11, 2026.

Kyle was the son of Steven and Merci Price, born in Lexington, Kentucky.

His parents raised him alongside his sister, Amber, with values of faith, kindness, and genuine connection, which he carried throughout his life.

His joyful spirit became a cornerstone of his family and community. He attended Southland Christian Church, and his faith lived out through his everyday actions.

He had the rare gift of seeing people, and his infectious smile could light up any room.

One of Zach’s best friends growing up. Kyle (AKA Asian) was one great young man! There will always be a special place in our hearts for him! You will be greatly missed! Please keep praying for his family!

Kyle’s passion for lacrosse reflected his energetic and team-oriented spirit, but his greatest joy was found in the quiet moments of togetherness.

He cherished time spent with his close-knit circle of friends, his devoted girlfriend, Jessi, and his family. He understood that life’s deepest meaning was found in connection.

Kyle is survived by his loving parents, Steven and Merci Price; his sister, Amber Price; his paternal grandmother, Helen Price; his maternal grandmother, Maria Piepenbrok; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and a vast community of friends who were family to him.

His time was brief, but the immeasurable impact of his generous heart and joyful spirit will never be forgotten.

Please say a prayer for Helen and her family. This is her grandson, Kyle.
