Kyle G. Cutshaw, 23, passed away Saturday, April 2, 2011. Kyle resided in Greenwood.

He was born Jan. 25, 1988, in Beech Grove. His parents are Gordon Cutshaw and Janet Cut­shaw-Julius.

He also is survived by a sister, Carla (Cutshaw) Brown; a brother-in-law, Jeff Brown; stepparents, Terri Hogue and Glenn Julius; his paternal grandfather, Ralph H. Cutshaw; two nieces, Haylee Marie and Bailee Grace Brown; five aunts, Dinah Gredy, Lindy Hohn, Pam Britt, Charla Elliott and Carolyn Love; and three uncles, Ronald Cutshaw, Jimmy and Jason Peace.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Marie (Wilson) Cutshaw; his maternal grandmother, Lee (Riley) Peace; his maternal grandfather, James W. Peace; and a maternal aunt, Rochelle L. Peace.

Kyle attended Center Grove schools and graduated from Center Grove High School in May 2006. He later attended Rend Lake College in Illinois and Vincennes University. Kyle attained his Indiana state insurance license and in 2009 opened his own office on State Road 135.

Kyle played baseball in the Center Grove Little League system and then went on to play four years of baseball at Center Grove High School. Later, he also played baseball at Rend Lake College. Baseball offered him an opportunity to develop many friendships. Kyle also enjoyed other activities, such as basketball, playing golf with his father and friends, riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle with his parents and friends and playing cards and video games. He also was an avid swimmer.

Kyle was fortunate to have many exciting opportunities, which included a father-son motorcycle trip to Sturgis, S.D., and several vacations with his mother and sister. He enjoyed traveling and experiencing new things.

When his mother and stepfather opened Bad Boys Motorcycle Shop, Kyle worked in the family business and increased his knowledge and love of motorcycles.

There are so many people who held a special place in Kyle's heart — first and foremost, his parents and sister, Carla, who also was his closest friend. Later, he got the brother he never had when Carla met and married Jeff Brown. Jeff gladly assumed the role of Kyle's big brother. When Jeff and Carla were blessed with the birth of their two daughters, Haylee and Grace, Kyle's heart grew even bigger as he became Uncle Kyle. Those girls quickly held his heart in their hands.

Kyle (or Bubby, as he was known to his immediate family) was most known for his infectious smile, as well as his enormous sense of humor. He liked nothing more than making people laugh and having a good time. He had a large family and a wide circle of friends.

Kyle will be missed by all who had the good fortune to know him. There is a hole in the hearts of those who loved him.

A funeral service will be conducted at noon Friday at Forest Lawn Funeral Home, 1977 S. State Road 135, Greenwood. Visitation will be from 4 to 9 p.m. Thursday and from 11 a.m. until service time Friday at the funeral home. Burial will be at Forest Lawn Memory Gardens in Greenwood.
