Kyle was born March 25, 1984 in Havre, MT to Daniel & Wanda (Big Leggins) Raining Bird. Kyle Graduated from Harlem High School in 2002 as Valedictorian of his class. He excelled in Cross Country by earning All-State honors, placing in the top 10 at the State B Championships. He also played basketball for the Harlem Wildcats until his senior year when he was diagnosed with a seizure disorder that prevented him from finishing the season. He went on to attend the University of Montana to study Health and Human Performance. Due to his illness he had to set his education aside and began to work at Wal-Mart. He loved Missoula and was an avid Griz fan. He met many friends and enjoyed his independence to the fullest; and his parents did all they could to fulfill his dream of living independently despite being ill. Unfortunately, his illness began to affect his daily living at which time his parents decided it was time for him to move home. When he did come home, he brought home a very precious gift for his Mother and Father; a son, Hollis James. As a single parent he was a very loving, patient and responsible father. His son came first in his life. The party life had to come to an end. Kyle's hobbies included golfing, hunting, fishing, pow-wows, grass dancing, playing Poker and Keno Machines, and scratch tickets with Grandma Patsy.
