RIP @kylepavone, thankful for your friendship in life and glad we were able to share some truly fun and memorable times together.
I’ll see you on the otherside, Here’s to hoping they’ll have a fresh copy of NHL for us to play together. ❤️

My heart goes out to everyone in the @wecameasromans camp.
A little over a week ago we shared some laughs and shared the stage together…this band even took me (sleepwave) out on tour at my lowest point in my life…they all treated me so well..I’m at a loss for words

We have shared countless tours and stages. We have shared countless memories. Our bands came up in this “scene” together. I can’t believe Kyle is gone. I just saw you. This is unreal to me. Rest easy my friend. This one is really close to home ?

RIP Kyle, sending love to his family, friends and band mates in this devastating time. While we didn’t know one another very well, I will say that he always went out of his way to be tremendously kind to me every time our paths crossed over the years on tour etc. A tragic loss ? https://t.co/GhViyptITd

WCAR were one of the first bands I listened to from this scene. They inspired me to play shows and try to be something.
Thank you for everything you didn’t know you helped me with, Kyle.

I’ve been thinking about what I would say since yesterday and while it’s devastating to know you’re gone I’m so happy…

. @kylepavone could make anybody laugh on their worst days and that was his greatest talent most will never get to know.
He was much more than a singer to us, and I wish he was here to share what he’d been working on with the world.
We will never forget you, thank you brother. pic.twitter.com/sp1YGQgRD2

Sorry you’re gone Kyle. Too young man, we have seen less of each other these days, but you were always a true friend and brother to everyone that had the chance to hang. One of the few first tours of my career were with WCAR, you never didn’t have a smile on your face. ?

I only got to tour with Kyle for a short while, but from the interactions I had with him he came off as such a positive and fun loving guy. His voice and the music he was a part of will carry on long after today. Prayers out to all the guys in WCAR and to his family. https://t.co/0szde0V0Qd

I was lucky enough to watch your local shows. I was lucky enough to be inspired to start my own band after watching yours. But most of all, I was lucky enough to call you a friend. Rest in power, Kyle.
