Kyle Robert Fletcher, 26, a well known Twin Cities musician, passed away in a Southern California hospital after suffering a heart attack the previous Monday. Kyle was born on May 11, 1989 and was reunited with his grandfather, Bob Fletcher Sr., on May 16, 2015. In his early years, Kyle enjoyed playing youth sports on St. Paul's east side. He was an avid snowboarder and in his early teens began playing guitar. Kyle was a kind-hearted spirit and a gifted musician. His love affair with songwriting allowed him to reach people across the country. In his late teens he made a name for himself in the Twin Cities music scene playing with the Kyle Fletcher Band among other projects, and later his pride and joy, the Buckthorn Brothers. His passion for blues and bluegrass spread like wildfire, and he began touring the United States and opening for bands such as Umphrey's McGee, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, The Jerry Garcia Band, Bill Nershi and Charlie Parr. Kyle was one of the hardest working musicians in the Twin Cities. In February of 2011, Kyle met the love of his life, Cassie Galonski, and in November of 2014 they were engaged to be married. Kyle was a free spirit and a lover of life. He showed his deep compassion for others by helping countless friends, and even strangers, through hard times in their lives, organizing charities, and leaving a lasting impression on everyone he met. A born entertainer, he emanated a sparkling energy that captivated rooms of people and left them laughing and inspired. "A hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people."- Maya Angelou. That was Kyle. In life, he spread positivity and love; in death, he saved several lives in his decision to be a donor. Fletcher was an inspiration to dreamers all over the country.
