Kyle Ritcheske, 22, died on Sunday, July 20, 2008. He passed suddenly while enjoying recreation with friends in Houston, TX. Born February 1, 1986 in Muskegon, MI, Kyle was a 2004 graduate of Mona Shores High School. Kyle actively participated in the Mona Shores Sailors soccer club, where he fostered many of his lifelong friendships, before going on to participate at the high school level with Mona Shores. Very free-spirited, Kyle was an ardent fan of music of all types. Kyle will be remembered for his adventurous personality, genuine compassion, and true zest for life. He will be missed by the many family members and friends whose hearts he touched in countless ways. His infectious smile and good-humored approach towards life will never be forgotten. His family reluctantly lets him go to be with their Savior, and is extremely grateful for the time God allowed them to have with him. He is survived by his parents, Robert & Patti Ritcheske of Muskegon; Brother Ryan & fiancée Sasha Fisch of Hermosa Beach, CA; sister and brother-in-law Staci and Jeff Hovey of Shelby, MI; sister Kristi Ritcheske of Grand Rapids, MI. Also surviving are two loving nieces and nephew, Jayd, Addison, and Parker Hovey; Grandma Cleomae Koekkoek of Muskegon; and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
A service to celebrate his life will be held on Saturday, July 26, 11 A.M., at Forest Park Covenant Church, located at 3815 Henry St., Muskegon, with Pastor Wally Coots officiating. Friends and family may also join the family on Friday, July 25 from 5-8 p.m. at Sytsema Funeral Home, located at 6291 S. Harvey St. in Norton Shores, MI.
Friends are also welcome to visit with the family at the Ritcheske's, 235 W. Byron, following the luncheon on Saturday afternoon.
Contributions can be made to the Kyle Ritcheske Memorial Fund for the Mona Shores High School soccer program.
Oh My God. I had no idea. I graduated with Kyle, never really hung out with him much, but I knew of him quite well.
My heart goes to the family. I'm very sorry to hear about Kyle.

this is amazing.
Kyle and my brother were best friends since Elementary school: the good 'ole days at Ross Park. I may have only seen Kyle when he was with m brother, but he was ALWAYS happy and ALWAYS positive, even way back then.
Kyle, you are truly missed.
