It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Kyle Jeremy Langlois.
Kyle was born at Burnaby General Hospital in Burnaby, BC.
He is survived by his mother Lynne Belanger, his father Bob Langlois, his brother Mike, his daughter, Madelyn, her loving and caring mother, April Salvador and the Salvador family, his uncle, Rick Belanger, his nephews, Rory and Miles, sister-in-law Lexia Nash, extended family, and many friends from his childhood, and new friendships formed throughout his life. He is predeceased by his loving grandmother, Dolores Belanger, and his grandfather, Gilles Belanger.
Everyone was drawn to Kyle's genuine, passionate presence. His soulful personality, his smile, and his calm nature were felt by everyone. Kyle was loved by all who got to know him. We also can't forget his wicked sense of humor and quick wit. He was so good at doing funny voices and joking around with his brother Mike and everyone! He was hilarious and loved a good laugh!
Kyle had an immense love of music from a young age. This love of music only grew bigger over time. This eventually developed into forming a band with his brother Mike, called Kownterpoint, and their other band S.K.A. He played bass guitar, but his talent also shone through in other instruments that he played. He so enjoyed touring and doing shows with his friends and band mates. Their most memorable shows were at the Victoria SKA Fest in 2023, and more recently, in October 2024, a two week tour around Mexico City.
Kyle also liked to attend Drum Circles at the beaches in Stanley Park. Here, he met people who shared their joy in this activity and again, he formed new friendships. Madelyn also enjoyed joining her father on these excursions, and made beautiful memories together, playing drums and the music they both enjoyed.
Kyle loved sports. He was very passionate about his favorite teams. His favorite local hockey team is the Vancouver Canucks, BC Lions football team, and the Seattle Seahawks. They kept Kyle on the band wagon and a dedicated true fan. Since Kyle was of French-Canadian descent, he also had a place in his heart for the Montreal Canadians and the old Quebec Nordiques. Not to mention, the Toronto Bluejays and the Montreal Expos were teams Kyle loved to follow in baseball. We actually found a baseball card of Kyle from his days with the Victoria Drive Little League in Vancouver. On his card, his scouting report states that he was “Most Sportsmanlike”, “Most Improved”, and “Rookie of the Year”. This will attest to Kyle's dedication and passion for whatever he did that started at a young age.
Kyle enjoyed cooking and was adventurous in making dishes from different cultures and experimenting with eastern spices. Some of his favorite comfort foods were Mac n cheese, omelets & gourmet hot dogs, which he loved to whip up.
Kyle loved to travel and being a worldly man, he enjoyed different cultures. Kyle very much loved the outdoors, the beauty of nature, and especially the sunshine. Summer was his favorite season. He lived his life to the fullest.
Kyle was loved and appreciated and will be greatly missed by his many friends and colleagues at AllWest Facility Services Ltd. where he was employed for 15 years.
His family and friends are sadly trying to come to terms with this devastating and sudden loss of Kyle. It is far too soon to lose such a great man. Thank you for being part of our lives and touching so many with your kindred spirit. It will never be lost on our hearts.

Words could never describe the loss and pain I'm feeling without your presence here among us.
Our history goes back so far.
So many precious family memories and of course, the beautiful world of music we created all these years.
The impact you made on this planet is undefined. You will be missed dearly by the many great people you met in your life. Gone way too soon. Between your comical creative mind, and your infectious smiles during all those great times. It's a hard loss for us all to bear. You will continue to live on with us all in spirit.

I wake up wishing this reality was one we didn’t have to face as a collective of friends and family mourn the sudden loss .
The Very Best of Times and laughs given so freely . Such amazing talent I recognized right from that first show where the Mic was shocking your brother But you played right through .
Through adversity , no lights , you just kept playing and spreading that musical message and putting light into the darkness of life .
You live on in each of us . With the music and the smile and that amazing disposition .
I looked up to you . And won’t stop honouring your memory until I too am spiritually elsewhere .
You’re all around us now and that must be enough I guess .
Dearly missed and honoured .
I love you man for bringing yourself and your music into my life .
I’m better for having known our friendship .
Not a day goes by that your not in our thoughts and running those bass lines up and down that fretboard of our Love we all seem to share so deeply .
Sorely Missed you shall be .
Father , Musician . Brother , Friend .
8 years minus four days was the length of that blessing and a blessing indeed
it was .
I love you Kyle .
you Bro and Friend

I loved seeing and hanging out with Kyle at the numerous shows our bands played together around Vancouver. We even got to do a short tour over to the Sunshine Coast together. He always had a smile on his face and his love for music was infectious. I miss him dearly.

There's no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were! There is no recovering from this!
My heart is broken 💔. I am numb!
Kyle, your loss has left a huge emptiness in my life! You are so loved and will be missed by everyone!
"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be."

RIP my boy! Mama loves you!
