Heartbroken Friends Remember 29-Year-Old Warner Father Killed In Crash

A family from Warner is feeling the pain of sudden loss after a husband and father of three was killed in a motorcycle crash over the weekend.

His friends said he was taken way too soon at the age of 29.

Kyle Burnett’s family and friends said he was the kind of guy who would help a stranger, he kept everyone laughing, and his wife and kids meant the entire world to him.

Kyle was only 29 and now his wife, Brittany, will raise their three kids without their dad. His friends said his family was the main focus of his life.

"He was all about them kids and his wife," said Aron Sloan. 

Kyle's brother-in-law Aron Sloan said Kyle was funny, outgoing, and he loved his motorcycle.

"Always going fishing, riding motorcycles, here recently he talked me into buying one," said Sloan.

Over the weekend, troopers say a pickup driver making a bad left turn in Muskogee county hit Kyle on his bike and Kyle died the next day.

"It's a shame somebody had to take his life from us, and now we had to live without him," said Shaun Johnston.

Shaun Johnston and Colten Purdom have been friends with Kyle for many years, and they called him Opie.

Colten said Kyle was his best friend, the best man in his wedding, and was there for all the biggest moments in Colten's life.

"We were inseparable," Purdom said. "If he gave you his word, it went all the way."

Kyle's wife Brittany said Kyle was the love of her live and was a great father to their three young children. She is devastated but so thankful for all the community support.

Everyone who loved Kyle hope people will take a second look when they're driving, because lives like Kyle's should never be cut short so soon.

"You never know when that bike might be right beside you," said Johnston.

Shaun is organizing a motorcycle escort on Saturday morning from Porum to the funeral and then cemetery as a way to honor Kyle.
