Kyle Andrew Hawkins, age 39 of Asbury, MO (formerly of Carl Junction, Mo) passed away Wednesday, February 13, 2019 from injuries sustained in an accident on January 29, 2019.
Kyle was born on June 15, 1979 in Carthage, Mo to Jim and Susan (Winder) Hawkins. Kyle was a 1997 graduate of Carl Junction High School and was currently employed by the Carl Junction School System. He previously worked as a delivery driver for Specialty Foods, the City of Joplin as a transit driver and Superior Wheel in Pittsburg, Kansas.
However, in 2011 Kyle began his most rewarding career ever – that of being a Dad to his daughter, Kendall Nicole. He devoted his endless time and love in creating a wonderful life full of fun and adventures for the both of them.
Even though their time together may have been shortened, Kendall will forever have those wonderful memories of her and her Dad.
Kyle is survived by his daughter, Kendall Nicole Hawkins and her mother Amber Page Hawkins of Webb City; parents, Jim and Susan Hawkins of Asbury; brother Chad Hawkins of Asbury and his children, Lashaya, Laydon and Laykin Hawkins and their mother Samantha Chew; nieces Zoey Morton, LaCaden Hawkins and Sierra Page. Aunts and uncles, Terry Winder of Webb City; Kris Winder of Joplin; Janet and Ron Cook of Joplin; Rosemary and Ron Combs of Webb City and Jim Eden of Joplin.
Additional survivors include many cousins and extended family members as well as a large community of friends.
Kyle was preceded in death, and will be reunited in heaven with his younger brother Cade Hawkins; maternal grandmother, Lucille Winder of Webb City; maternal grandfather Bill Winder of Joplin; paternal grandparents Norma and Buck Hawkins of Webb City; step-grandfather Al Melton of Webb City and aunts Dianne Winder of Webb City and Nancy Eden of Joplin.
Kyle will always be remembered for his big heart and his many selfless acts of kindness shown to many people. That is why he was loved by so many and how hard it will be to imagine our lives without him. In keeping with Kyle’s love and kindness for others, he had become a registered organ donor. And now, there are many others who will be rewarded by his kindness, and live a better life because of him. “Helping one person might not change the world, but I could change the world for one person” by Anonymous.
