He was a proud alumni of Leesville High School, graduating class of 2008, where he was well known for putting a smile on everyone’s face. He was in the band and was a part of the theater/drama club. After graduating from LHS, Cyle obtained a bachelor’s degree from Northwestern State University in Psychology. He furthered his education and received his master’s degree from Norwich University in the field of Diplomacy. Cyle thoroughly enjoyed traveling and experiencing different cultures. He worked several years in Iraq and Afghanistan and visited several other places. Cyle had a kind and gentle spirit, and he loved his friends and family. He especially loved his nieces Ali, Ari, and Avery and spent every opportunity he had to tell them he loved them. He had a unique bond with Granny and you could often find them sitting in recliners watching the Golden Girls or Days Of Our Lives. He was sure to call Granny every morning at 7 just to tell her “I love you and I hope you have a good day”.
