Kyler Timothy Ferruzzi

Kyler Timothy Ferruzzi, 31, passed away Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2024.

Kyler will be remembered Saturday at Ignite Church, 4150 Bayswater Road, Winterville, N.C. A memorial service begins at 1 p.m., immediately followed by a celebration with finger foods served.

Born Dec. 21, 1992, Kyler lived life with adventure. His expressions of love to others were well-received, his unique perceptions at an early age enabling his mere presence to bring light to any person or room. He had a caring spirit about him, never met a stranger and could move with spontaneity. While shy, he was empathetic, loved a nice meal and enjoyed exercising.

He was preceded in death by his stepfather, Landry Gray; grandfather, Temistocles Nunez; and grandparents, Janet and Charles Haddow-Green.

He is survived by his father, Tim Ferruzzi, and stepmother, Ann Nunez; mother, Wendy Gray-Hudnell, and stepfather, John Hudnell; brother, Drake Ferruzzi (Elizabeth), nephews Emerson and Noah; sister, Daniela Masciello (Nic); brother, Javier Pimentel (fiancée Grace Snow); sisters Anabella Ferruzzi and Gabriela Ferruzzi; grandparents, Idellah and Don Waugh; grandfather, David Ferruzzi; grandfather, Otis Hudnell; uncle, Mark Ferruzzi; aunt, Brenda Ferruzzi; uncle, Paul Haddow-Green (Page), cousins Thomas and Cameron; uncle, Mark Haddow-Green; cousins, Miles Taylor, James Johnson, Jessica Johnson, Ana Stedman, HarleyFay Podszus; niece, Adellah Torres; nephew Felix Torres.

For information on military suicide rates in NC go to Freedom of Information Act. Also VA.gov to see if we all can create more of an outreach for Suicide Prevention vs. Only a potential Victim-to-call approach.
