Kyle is a proud Centralia native, where he lives with his wife Kara and daughter Natalie, born in 2022. Kyle brings a wealth of community spirit and firsthand experience to the board of Raise for Rowyn. His journey with the organization began in 2019, following the loss of his son Noah, then 6 years old, after a brave fight against brain cancer. Kyle and Kara found solace and support through Raise for Rowyn during this difficult time, prompting them to give back and honor Noah's memory by becoming actively involved with the organization.

Through the Noah Jon Markstrom Foundation, the Markstrom family also honors Noah’s memory by providing grants and scholarships to individuals pursuing careers in pediatric medicine. In addition to his philanthropic endeavors, Kyle is very involved in his community, serving as a Port Commissioner for the Port of Centralia. He also volunteers on various committees and fundraising endeavors.

Kyle is deeply devoted to his family and finds joy in spending quality time with them, often camping, clam digging, or hanging out at the racetrack.
