About Kyle Brown:
Kyle discovered his passion for riding when he was 23 years old, and it quickly overtook him. Riding was just one of the adventures life had to offer to him.
He was the epitome of athleticism and adventure. As a triathlete, road cyclist, and mountain biker who loves various activities, he embraced a life full of triumphant tales and the battle scars that come with them.
He was nominated for the 2023 Sports Emmy in the category of Outstanding Short Feature; watch Kyle’s story and journey as he raced to cross the finish line at the 2021 Intermountain Healthcare IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship presented by Utah Sports Commission.
He was the funniest guy and could make anyone laugh with his weird/dark sense of humour. The number of death jokes he made after he was diagnosed was ridiculously uncomfortable but so hilarious at the same time. While it’s sad he’s passed, now he’s free from the pain he’s been in and in a better place.
