Kyle Lloyd McInnis– October 27, 1983 – February 12, 2023

It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of our son, Kyle Lloyd McInnis, of Nanaimo BC, on February 12, 2023 at the age of 39. Kyle was born October 27, 1983 in Victoria BC. He lived on Vancouver Island in Victoria, Port Renfrew and Nanaimo. He will be lovingly remembered by his mom and dad, Arlene and Robb, sister, Karli, and many aunts, uncles and cousins. Predeceased by his grandparents, Lloyd and Jean McInnis and William and Janette Elliott. He described himself as eccentric, colorful, creative and hilarious. He played all his sports, lacrosse, hockey and rugby with such passion and determination and wasn’t afraid to be the enforcer, hence his nickname, Madness, was given to him. His teammates loved him, and he called Lacrosse his medicine that kept him alive and accountable. He tried to run his own plumbing business, but the stress and struggle with mental health was too much to handle and things started to take quite a downward spiral from there. Addiction issues didn’t love Kyle, it controlled him, it owned him. It skewed his reality and numbed his heart. He was trying to kill the pain and it did just that when he was taken away from us in an accidental overdose. He can now rest in peace that he was so desperately seeking while on this Earth. He will be truly missed by many. The family would like to especially thank his best friends, Buddy Randle, Kody Bowman, Becki Laforge, Jason Dubyna, Brendie, Sterling, Melissa and Shawn and all his friends for their support. A private family service will take place later this year. A Celebration of Kyle’s Life and Spirit will be hosted by the Nanaimo Sr B Lacrosse Team, date to be determined, and announced on Facebook. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Nanaimo Minor Lacrosse Association, P.O. Box 377, Nanaimo, BC V9R 5L3 Condolences and memories can be shared through http://www.yatesmemorial.ca Parksville, BC
