Kyle Bailey McKinley

Born on January 14, 1984, in Rockledge, FL
Passed on February 25, 2026 in Edgewater, Florida

Kyle Bailey McKinley finished his earthly race unexpectedly on February 25th, 2026, at the age of 42.

He was born to his adoring parents, John and Dianne McKinley, on January 14, 1984, in Rockledge, FL. Kyle graduated from Eau Gallie High school in 2002 and later received his Bachelor’s degree in Business Management from Flagler University. Kyle was a skilled craftsman and artfully remodeled many homes.

An outdoorsman at heart, Kyle loved the woods, fire pits, and exploring. Nature was his home.

Kyle was a friend to all: he would do anything for those in need, whether friend or stranger. He started walking with the Lord as a child, growing up going to Eau Gallie First Baptist. Kyle believed Christ is the only one who will fulfill his promises and encouraged others to cling to the cross.

Throughout his life, Kyle remained strong-willed, always embracing his independent, free-spirit. No matter the situation, Kyle was surrounded by the love of his friends and family.

Kyle is mourned by his loving wife Christina McKinley, and his children Sawyer (13), Sonny (5) and Hank (2), his parents John & Dianne McKinley, his brother Zachary McKinley, and sister Erin Davison (Wesley Davison).

A service to celebrate Kyle’s life will be March 16th, 3pm, at Coastline Community Church (409 E Eau Gallie Blvd Indian Harbour Beach, FL 32937). Family will be available for visitation from 2-3pm. Dress will be casual. The family asks that you come willing to share stories, as it will be healing balm for their hearts.

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18

In lieu of flowers, please consider contributing to the children’s education funds. (Zelle Christina McKinley 321-537-2449)

Our dear, dear friends—our hearts are heavy as we get ready to travel to see your family and remember Kyle. I think we have known Kyle since he was 3 as he and Brittany grew up together in school and church. Kyle was such a smart and funny young man—comfortable with adults. I don’t ever remember a time that he was disrespectful to me in all those years. We are so sorry for your loss, but look forward to the day when we can all see each other again in heaven. We are praying for God’s loving care to be always evident to you. Love you all, Durwood and Karen
