Sad to hear this awful news. I remember Kyle as someone that always took the time to help everyone out. I've learned a lot from him, and it was a privilege to work with him. Each time I work on the open-api spec, he puts a smile on my face. <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/master/open-api/rest-catalog-open-api.yaml#L909> He will be truly missed.
