Kyle Arthur Maples, 42, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on February 5, 2026, in Jefferson Abington Hospital, Abington, Pennsylvania. Born on November 19, 1983, in Rochester, New York

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents Lester and Betty Randall of Rochester, New York, and paternal grandparents Robert and Shirley Maples of Rochester.

Kyle is survived by his beloved and cherished daughter Noelle Maples of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania; his father Lawrence Maples (Caroline) of Douglasville, Pennsylvania; his mother Sandra Maples (Thomas Heck) of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina; his brother Kevin Maples and sister-in-law Sabrina Maples of Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania; his sister Faith Conroy of Douglasville, Pennsylvania and nephew Cameron Maples of Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania. He is also lovingly remembered by numerous aunts and uncles—Gregory & Betty Stone, Paul & Joanne Randall, Deborah & Gregory Lozier, William & Julie Maples and Honorary Aunt and Uncle Richard and Colleen Campbell of Rochester, NY as well as many cousins and friends whose lives were touched by his presence.

Kyle pursued his passion for the natural world by studying horticulture at Penn College of Technology. His love for nature blossomed into a meaningful career, where he worked for several years in the Parks Division at West Goshen Township and for a short time at Chester County Airport. His work reflected his deep appreciation for green spaces and his commitment to enhancing the environment around him.

Kyle was one of a kind—known for his imaginative and inventive ideas that often delighted those around him. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life: long walks through local parks, days at the beach with Noelle, and hours tending to his garden with care and patience. An avid sports enthusiast, Kyle enjoyed playing basketball and golf and was a devoted fan of the Philadelphia Eagles and 76ers. His enthusiasm was infectious, whether he was cheering from the stands or from his home.

Above all else, Kyle will be remembered for his kindness and empathetic nature. He had a rare ability to connect with others through compassion and sincerity. His gentle heart left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date to honor Kyle’s memory.

May Kyle’s enduring light continue to shine in the hearts of those who loved him.
