Kyle James Grignon, 33, of Neopit died Sunday, March 22, 2026, at his home, surrounded by his family. He was born March 9, 1993, in Shawano, to Michael Gomeyosh and Michelle Grignon.

After graduating from high school, Grignon studied welding and construction. He spent his free time hunting, fishing, picking ginseng, and riding in the woods. He was a die-hard Packer fan and, by the account of those who knew him, "a big teddy bear with a big heart and a great sense of humor, and he was always willing to help others." He also found a particular interest in cryptids.

His family described him as an amazing father, son, brother, nephew, cousin, and friend. "Kyle's world revolved around his family, and he never missed an opportunity to spend time with them."

Grignon is preceded in death by his brothers Cory Grignon and Grant Gomeyosh; his best friend, Kenny LaTender Jr.; his uncles Gary Gomeyosh and Sean Grignon; and his grandparents Joe and Rose Gomeyosh.
