Leaders come in a variety of styles and shapes and sizes but there was no one like our Kyle Dubé.
He was larger than life in every way. You would hear him coming long before you would see him. He loved to laugh, he loved to talk (a lot!) and he loved to work. But most of all he loved to be relentless.
Sadly, Kyle passed away only weeks before last year’s YOUCAN Comedy Nights was set to begin.
Kyle’s legacy is truly remarkable. He took over an organization on the brink of collapse and, despite working from his one-room home office, he dared to dream big. Kyle transformed YOUCAN into what it is today and earned the praise of government and city leaders, the trust of corporate and individual donors, and the respect of other partnering agencies.
These events provide an opportunity to honor Kyle and continue building on his legacy. It’s a significant challenge, but Kyle always encouraged youth that they should strive for better - because they deserve better. We are going to continue on with that attitude.
Thank you for your continuing support of YOUCAN. In memory of Kyle, let’s remember to always live large, dream big, and be RELENTLESS.
