McCOOK, Neb. — Kyle Dean Lauer of McCook went home to be with his Heavenly Father on Monday, Oct. 23, 2017. He was 23 years old.

Kyle was born on Oct. 11, 1994, at North Platte, Neb., to parents, Kevin Lee and DeEtta R. (Meyers) Lauer. In his younger years, Kyle was a busy little boy that enjoyed his bike, playing basketball and soccer. He and his father enjoyed their time together participating in a Martial Arts class called To Shin Do for several years. While a child, Kyle’s father relocated to McCook and Kyle eventually joined him. He attended McCook Public Schools and graduated in 2014. They loved their time spent at the lake house. It was there that Kyle enjoyed boating, tubing, driving the golf cart around the lake house, and spending time with his family.

Kyle was blessed with two children, son, Kayson Lee and daughter, BrookLynne Noel. He was employed at Arby’s, a job he thoroughly enjoyed. He eventually moved to Lincoln to be near his mother, sister, and cousins. After a short time, Kyle returned to McCook to be closer to his children.

Kyle, along with his father, was employed as a maintenance tech at McCook Public Schools at the time of his death.
