Jeffrey Eric Kyte
April 9, 1962 – October 4, 2023
Jeffrey Eric Kyte, known to his loved ones as Jeff, passed away on Wednesday, October 4, 2023, in Mechanicsville, VA, at the age of 61. He was born on April 9, 1962, in Norfolk, VA. Jeff was a patient, loving, proud, strong, and knowledgeable man who always supported and cherished his family. He was artistic and had a deep passion for history, patriotism, and community service. He found solace in the beauty of the beach and mountains.
Jeff is survived by his beloved wife of over 34 years, Stacie Kyte, and their children, Eric Kyte and Lindsey Hues (Noah). He is also survived by his sister, Tammy Wyand (P.D. Dennis), sister-in-law, Teresa Kyte West (Tom), brother-in-law, James R. Carson (Pattie), several nieces and nephews: Clay Callihan, Tyler Callihan, Brian Carson (Kim), Lauren Douglas (Chase), Kimberly Creech (partner, David)
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Reuben and Marie Mangum, his parents, Donald and Marion Kyte, his brother, Daniel C. Kyte, his maternal aunt, Louise Law, and his beloved black lab, Gohan.
Jeff attended Manchester High School and pursued business courses at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College. Throughout his career, he was the owner and operator of Save Our Seniors, S.O.S. Services. A business he started in 1999 to help seniors stay in their homes by doing odd jobs and “honey-do” lists for a minimal charge. It has since grown into a contract cleaning and demolition business. Prior to that, he worked as a warehouse employee and manager at Virginia Impression Products.
Beyond his professional life, Jeff’s hobbies were diverse and reflected his adventurous spirit. He was a dedicated husband and father, a committed Boy Scout Leader for 25 years, a dedicated gym enthusiast, and a passionate relic hunter and collector. Jeff’s love for history, fishing, hunting, serving his community, and action movies brought him great joy. He mostly loved spending time with his family. He was also known for his entrepreneurial spirit as a business owner.
A memorial service to honor Jeff’s life will be held on Monday, November 13, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. at the Mechanicsville Christian Center located at 8061 Shady Grove Rd, Mechanicsville, VA 23111.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that contributions be made to the Hanover Patriots, Boy Scout Troop 553, or the ASPCA in Jeff’s memory.
May Jeff’s memory and the impact he had on the many lives of those around him forever be cherished.

I never got the privilege of meeting Jeff but followed him and his family on Kai’s Paw Patrol thru Hanover Patriots and am thankful for everything he and his family did and continues to do. I pray the Lord wraps his arms around the family during this difficult time. I know he lives on in the heart of each one of you.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Jeff (but I felt I knew him ) prayers for Him , he’s in a better place ?? prayers for his wife an children that was left behind . Will mill his history lessons (:(
We were privileged to know Jeff and witness his love of family and patriotic spirit . He was a tremendous help to us in the last few years. Jeff’s absence is a real loss to the community. Heaven is definitely a brighter place now. Continuing in prayer for our friend Stacie and family. May God comfort all who mourn Jeff’s passing.

Jeff was such a loving and caring person to his entire family and a blessing to all who knew him. Until you meet again he will always be in your hearts and your beautiful memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Tammy,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. From what I’ve learned, Jeff was an amazing person, like his sister. I wish you and the family strength in this difficult time.
I’m so sorry for loss. I was ablexto meet Jeff at the easter egg hunt for hanover patriots. I could have sat there all day listening to him. Reading his obituary shows he loved his family and country. I will miss his stories but know Eric will continue on his dads legacy.
I looked forward to his report on behalf of Hanover Patriots. Now his son carrying on the tradition. May his family feel Gods comfort!
