Rest In Peace, Kyle. We’ll be together until the end.

May you have a safe journey and watch over everyone you have blessed over the years.

My heart has joined the thousand, for my friend stopped running today.

His troubles are over, and he is now at peace. May his friends welcome him in the next life.

Rest In Peace. It's a sad day indeed.

He was one of my in-roads to this fandom, like I imagine is true with many others. I wish I'd gotten to know him, and sadly never will, because by all accounts I've heard similar things to what you've put up there. At least his painful battle is finally over, that he might find peace.

A tremendous loss to our community and the world as a whole. He will always be my favourite writer and I wouldn't have even joined the furry community if it wasnt for him
He is at peace now and I know he will be just as inspirational in the next life~

Goodbye Kyle... thank you for everything you gave me, and I hope you are in a better place now

Rest in peace Kyle. You will be greatly missed. See you in heaven one day, bud.

This hurt more than what I expected, even if I was preparing myself for this.
My condolences to his family and friends.
Rest in piece Kyle and safe journey. Thank you again for everything.

Rest in peace Nyle, I wish your next life will be even better than the kast one TwT you'll be missed by everyone.

Thank you for letting us all know - I hope he can rest in peace and happiness now that his long suffering is done. I remember, fondly, all the talks we had that started over 20 years ago; including how we both were advocates of keeping very private about real life and the fandom we loved. Always a gentleman, always so kind and accepting. He showed me that this fandom could have good, wholesome people, art and stories and that one never had to change who they were to be part of it. God Speed Kyle.

Rest easy, Kyle. You won’t be forgotten.

Rest well, wherever you are now. We will pick up your mantle of kindness and encouragement and spread it to all corners of the comunity who need it.

May he rest in piece now, the brave dragon. :'(

Rest in peace, Kyle. Thank you for everything.

At least he is no longer in pain any more.

Rest in peace, and here's to you having a good journey in the afterlife.

My condolences to you Cham, Kyle's family and all his friends. Kyle has been taken from us way too soon, but his legacy will endure.

He had a positive influence for a lot of people here and was a genuinely good guy. He fought his cancer battle bravely and ferociously, now he is at peace, if there's any solace. Cherish the memories you have of him, for that will help fill up a hole that has been left from departing this world so soon. I did not know him too well on a personal level, but the few interactions I've had with him have been pleasant and cordial. He was one of the titans of the community, and probably one of the first online; were it not for him, many of us would probably not be in this community, myself included.

RIP Kyle. May the wings of angels guide you to a better place. We're gonna miss you greatly, but we will never forget you!

Hugs and hope to you and all his and your gathered family and friends.

I may not know this man or have ever spoke to him. But the love and energy i see from other FA veterans here really loved this guy.

Rest well kyle, you earned it.

He may rest in peace now.

...I think that...without Kyle Dragon, I never would have made the longtime, hopefully lifetime friends I've made on the internet. Never would've learned the lessons I've learned. Become the person I am today.

And I think I've only ever actually talked to him on the same Picarto chat a handful of times.

...Kyle deserved the world. He deserved so much more than he got. He deserved a miracle. A second chance. Or at least...some more time.

To anyone reading this: never let your heroes' contribution to your life be forgotten. Yes, heroes may fall, morally or physically...but their impact on the person you are, the person you strive to be, will be felt by those who stand behind you, beside you, or even in front of you.

I'm sorry for the long-winded comment, but...it's literally the least I can do in memory of a man as legendary as Kyle Dragon.

A very sad day today. :( RIP Kyle, you'll be missed.

Rest In Peace Kyle...! You'll never be forgotten! :'(

My condolences to you, Cham.
Thank you for letting us know.

I'm sure he lived a happy life despite the illness he had to fight against.
I know it has to happen someday, but not this soon... My condolences, to his family too.
Rest in peace, Kyle.

Never had a chance to talk to him, but certainly felt he's a cool and kind person.
I believe he will carry on with no more pain now.
And please take care, Cham, don't let this depresses you, we know he won't suffer and in a better place now.

Thank you, for keeping us informed through this hard time. I can only imagine how hard this is for you, for his closest friends, and for all family involved
May his soul be at ease. He will never be forgotten
My greatest sympathies, you have the support of me and many others

Very talented and very kind. I didn't talk much to him, but I know he was an amazing friend and inspiration to a lot of us here. He will never be forgotten.

Thanks for writing this journal.

My condolences to you Chameleon, and to Kyle's family and every person around him. I'll be honest, i only crossed words with Kyle a couple of times, and it looked as a good guy for me.

What I cannot lie, is that he was one of those people that i found first in this fandom, so i think he was part of my inspiration to be here in first place, and i thank him for that. I hope him to find the peace. We'll miss him.

Now Cham, keep strong, it's time for you, his friends and his family to take care of yourselves.

Rest in Peace

Rest in peace

My condolences to Kyle’s family and friends and of course to you as well, ChameleonIce. This is truly heartbreaking.

I knew about Kyle for over 15 years. His website was the first time I saw furry tickling on the internet. He was how I was able to discover a wider community and people who I am now friends with. And it goes without saying that he has inspired and brought together so many others.

I will forever be thankful for what he has done for me and everyone else. He will always be remembered for his kindness, his inspiration and his stories.

Rest in Peace Kyle. Thank you for everything.

This is devastating. I don't know how to feel right now. Like others say, it's because of people like him we are in this community right now. His legacy shall not die and I am sure we can find a way to keep it and preserve it.

My only wish right now is that we can help his family to recover from this and prevent them to fall into depression. A big loss can harm us more than we think, and I speak from experience.

I know I wrote a comment earlier but I have realized I made a stupid mistake and I have hidden it to compensate it. My deepest apologies (forgive me, Chamaleonice, it was not my intention).

Rest in peace, Kyle. May your dragon wings allow you to fly to a heaven where you find the peace and rest that were denied to you in your final days in this earth.

Rest In Peace, Kyle.

Goodbye Kyle. You have no idea just how many people will miss you. Rest in peace.

I can't say much that hasn't already been said. He was a kind man. His website was an early gateway for me into the anthro tickling community, in the days before FA and Twitter and telegram etc. I only talked with him briefly in passing here and there, but it seems like losing a long time friend. He built a long lasting legacy in this little community and he won't soon be forgotten, that's for sure. RRP friend. And fuck cancer. I'll be 40 myself next year. This kinda thing hits hard. He was way too young. Sad day today. Love and hugs to all who knew him.

Thank you for everything, Kyle. Everything I (and many others) do on this site is partly because of you. Even though we only shared a few sentences together, I can't help but feel a deep void. We'll always remember you good sir.

Rest in peace, Kyle. Here's hoping you find happiness. 🙏

I am grieving for the loss we are all experiencing. I remember Kyle from his stories. When he started his website for his dragon, it was nice to see folks with similar interests. While I enjoyed his patronage from a distance I feel a similar loss along with you all. May he Rest In Peace.

I'm so sorry for your loss :( At least there is comfort in knowing he'll never be in pain again and that he touched countless lives for the better. As you say, he was a wonderful man and I am priviliged I got to talk with him even a little over the years.

Rest in peace, sweet dragon.

Rest in peace, Kyle. It shouldn't have been over so soon. Thanks for everything.

I’m truly sorry, Cham…like you, like everyone who knew Kyle, I feel the same void in my heart. But I am thankful that I knew him, because Kyle’s influence is what brought the the tickle-loving community together, as friends. As family.

So in honor of that, I think it’s only fair that I offer a song to send Kyle off: https://youtu.be/zAAxgx42x7o

Rest In Peace, dear friend.

Kyle was truly one of a kind. I remember when I first was starting out on the internet, it was his website that introduced me to so many people who shared my interests. I'm sure the same can be said for most of you here. In a way he did something for this community that should never be forgotten. He brought us together, he opened the door for many artists and writers to get their work seen.

Without him, I don't know if I would of met so many people I consider some of my best friends this day. I don't know if I would of even pursued drawing. So, thank you Kyle, while we didn't speak often to one another, know that deep down I hold a respect for you for being one of my inspirations when it came to participating in this fandom.

Now once more you have brought us all together. One last time. You may no longer be with us, but you will forever be within us. Rest in Peace Kyle, my friend.

My condolences

I still fondly remember reading his stories and looking at his art as a young delinquent. I feel like a peice of my childhood just died.

Rest in peice, sir. May your impact on this community never be forgotten.

I was afraid this is what I’d wake up to. Thank you Cham for keeping us updated, and thank you to the friends in the previous journal saying they’d keep his work preserved. RIP Kyle, you will be missed.

Kyle, Wherever you are, I hope you are at rest. Know that the response here is proof you have made a positive imprint in this world.

Everyone, cherish the friends you have, enjoy the people you love and make peace with yourself. Live by Kyle's example, inspire and encourage. Know that your friendship really can make all the difference for someone.

Rest in peace. My condolences to you. His family and friends.

I may have not known him at all, but from what I can read, he must have had a golden heart to share with the community from his goals and drive.

I am sincerely sorry for your loss, may he rest in peace and move forward in the afterlife.

*sigh* ...rest in peace Kyle. ;__;

I'm sorry to hear this..

May he rest in peace

Rest in peace, Kyle. You fought valiantly against your condition, we will all remember you fondly. Thank you for everything you gave for others.

My condolences to his family, friends, and you, Cham. I hope you all have a good day. Let's hope to keep the good times rolling in this community, since it's what he would've likely wanted.

It really is something scary, my deepest condolences to your family and close friends.
I don't really know what to say, this news has left me with a bad body on top of it too big.
I don't know how to digest this.
I really did not know kyle, I had only heard about him and the incredible stories of him and furry art tickling him, many of them were wonderful and brought a smile to me when other things could not ...
God has taken him too soon, this is really sad.
I hope that one day he and I can talk quietly up there and get to know each other better in the tickle garden.

rest in peace tickle dragon...

Rest in peace

I never got the privilege of meeting Kyle personally, nor had I taken it upon myself to actually look through any of his works, but the impact he had on the community as a whole is plain and clear from the comments above -- and, later, below -- and personal admiration from friends he and I happened to share and I wish that I had gotten to meet such a wonderful person.

Cham, I know that you're going to be going through this the roughest. You have a good support group who will be there for you. You're not alone in your grief, and you take however long you need.

Rest in Peace, Kyle. Thank you for all you've given to the world. You made it a little better in your own way.

Gone too soon. Rest in peace, Kyle.

Rest in Peace Kyle

So sorry you left life so soon, Kyle. My condolences to all his relatives and friends. :(

I never knew the man until I saw Marmelmm's dedication to him. But, I want to wish my condolences to his family, friends, and fans. I know that one day, I'll follow him into the great beyond but, I hope it isn't for several years.

Vaya con Dios Kyle

Thank you for keeping us all informed, the burden on you must be heavy but hopefully you'll find some peace in knowing Kyle's pain is over.

To you Kyle, you'll not be forgotten and I'll be reading over your stories again with great fondness. Farewell.

I'm absolutely heartbroken, he was such an inspiration to me. I'll always remember seeing his art for the first time back in my old DeviantArt days. He will be greatly missed.

Ooh man, that's so terrible! :( My condolences to his family in this difficult time.

Yeah, Kyle's art was one of my first exposures to this fandom, so I could say he had a great impact on me, and he was always so kind and caring to everyone.

Rest in peace, Kyle. You will be missed. This difficult road is now over and you are now at peace now. Truly thank you for everything you have done.

Rest in peace Kyle thank you for all you'v done.

I'm sorry about your friend ( sad)

May Kyle Rest in Peace.

Rest in peace, Kyle, my good friend. It was a pleasure to have spent time with him all of these years and loved everything that he has done. May everyone always remember him as the wonderful person that he was and continue to be a great inspiration to us all.

Rest in peace.

it's because of his stories that I found this world..
he's gonna be missed

From one longtime dragon furry to another

You'll be missed brother

Rest In Peace, Kyle.

Rest In Peace, kind dragon. You certainly will be missed by many

This is sad. Hope you rest in peace, Kyle, this is really terrible

It is really rough. I was able to post the tribute here on furaffinity.

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/44473721/

Rest in peace Kyle ... your suffering has ended and now you're free from all this ... you'll be sadly miss

While I don't think I was ever part of the "community" until I started taking commissions on this account and getting to know a lot of lovely folks I probably wouldn't have otherwise encountered, I do have extremely fond memories of stumbling across Kyle's website when I was a very young teen desperately scouring the internet for furry artwork that *wasn't* porn. The cute art and goofy stories kept me entertained on more than one dull, isolated afternoon spent thinking about cartoon animals instead of my various weird-kid woes.

So while I don't think I've ever talked to him, I have always appreciated his dedication to carving out a space for SFW content regardless of subject matter. He was clearly a wonderful person who touched a lot of lives, and my heart goes out to his struggle and to all of his friends who are grieving the loss.

RIP Kyle, thank you for being a positive force in the world.

I came across Kyle way back in 2005 on DeviantArt and Furnation. His stories and willingness to share with the furry community his love for our kink helped me feel more comfortable.

In a much deeper sense, his faith is shared by myself. I consider my own self to be a dragon in spirit. I can only imagine Kyle is flying now upon leathery wings in paradise surrounded by the greatest love of Our Father.

We may have had little interaction between us, but he touched many people regardless of how close he was to them.

My condolences to all. RIP Kyle

He was a big introduction to community for me back then,
and I will remember him as big part of all of it.
May your soul rest in piece

I was really hoping he could beat this, he seemed so nice when we messaged and was trying his best to be resilient. Still glad I had a chance to meet you and hope you bring your unique light to heaven. RIP Kyle

I'm sad to hear about your passing Kyle, you are loved and admired by many and a great inspiration to the fandom. It's sad that you have had to leave the earth behind, but I know you are in a much better place now.

It took me a while to write this out, even longer to sort of think of what to write. Way back when, in college, I stumbled upon his site just out of the blue. It was an exploratory time for myself. A time where I had freedom from home to actually look at various stuff and find my own interests. It was way before I ended up in FA, or found other sites that I grew to love. The overall tickly nature of the stories hooked me in, but it was the universe and story that grew out around it that kept me staying. I tend to be a story guy at heart, always looking at internal logic of tales and wondering what sort of stuff exists in a new universe. Kyle did that very well by introducing various npcs, scenery, and even putting down an antagonist and a history in his story universe.

In a way, it inspired me to join another community on the web, meeting new folks, and even was somewhat an inspiration to start writing stories of my own, even though they are shorter and simpler by comparison. I didn’t want to write here cause, well, in a way it would cement in my mind what had happened. It’s never easy losing an idol, much less one whose work you greatly appreciated. Perhaps it’s just my own guilt at having never really gotten too close to him before? Even though I didn’t know him like a super best friend, I know plenty of people who talked to him plenty, who held him close.

I didn’t want to write this in the beginning… but I’ve seen plenty of death occur these past two years, too much to bear. Not only in my family, but among online personalities both here on the site as well as off site. People that you might not personally know or have talked to, but who helped to make your day a bit better. It just hits a bit harder here.

After taking several days myself to come to terms with this, I can only imagine how hard it must have been for you, Chameleonice! Thank you for taking on such a burden in order to keep us informed about Kyle's status.

I just posted a journal about Kyle's positive impact on my life. He touched so many others as well!

https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10038232

The furry community lost an icon. We're going to miss you so much Kyle.

Rest in peace.

Rest in peace kyle we will all miss you

I knew him, not personally, but I've seen his stuff passed around. I just now learned about this.

Damn it! not again........why does everyone around me that i know and love die? it's not fair
