Jim Hocking, For The Fallen Dreams

We first hung out while our bands were on different tours in the same city, so your whole band came to our show and we partied until morning. Whenever we were home at the same time, I would come to Detroit just to hang. One of my few band friends I would go out of my way to see off tour. You brought me into your circle when mine was dwindling, introduced me to people I still call friends. You took me to my first and only Red Wings game knowing full well I didn't really care who won, but I loved it anyway; just like you would talk my ear off about every team and player and coach like I knew what the hell you were saying, but I let you because your passion for sports was so amazing to see. We barely had anything in common other than the fact we were in bands, but we still somehow stayed up countless nights talking until the sun came up. You introduced me to your brother, Conner, my best man, business partner, and now lifelong friend and brother. I don't listen to electronic music or dance, but that didn't stop me and Conner from KILLING the dancefloor whenever you would DJ. I will never be able to repay you for all of the goodness you brought into my life, and I could write a novel about all of our good times. I will cherish every moment we shared. I will miss you dearly. I love you, Kyle.

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
RIP Kyle

RIP Kyle, sending love to his family, friends and band mates in this devastating time.

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.

Telle Smith, The Word Alive

. @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.
