Kyle Edward Savage

Kyle Edward Savage, 36, of Keokuk, passed away on Monday, May 9, 2022, at University of Iowa Hospital in Iowa City, Iowa.

A lifelong resident of Keokuk, Kyle was born on July 19, 1985, in Keokuk, the son of Kirk and Ramona (Stott) Savage. He graduated from Keokuk Senior High in 2004 and worked at Roquette as an operator from 2014 until his passing. Kyle loved being on the river, fixing up his jet skis, and working in his garage. He adored his dog Oscar and loved to cruise in his station wagon and his custom-built side-by-side. Kyle was always road-tripping and the leader of many shenanigans. Kyle was a salvage expert and knew no stranger. He was known for the life he brought to his work in the garage as well as being the life of the party.

Kyle is preceded in death by his maternal grandfather Ramo Stott and his paternal grandparents Clarence and Virginia Savage.
