[quote align=”center” color=”#COLOR_CODE”]“Over the last 9 years I’ve had the pleasure of seeing you grow. You truly were a one of a kind and made everyone laugh and happier around you any second you chose to. We had so many talks the last tour about our voices, our bands, making music and about life. You cared more than most will ever get to know but I’m thankful that you let me in my friend. Kyle Pavone your presence on stage will be missed but your light to this world off it will be missed even more.”[/quote]
