Kyle Christopher Kaufman, Kaukauna, age 35, died Friday, December 12, 2025.  He was born in Neenah on July 20th, 1990, the son of Paul and Kellie (Harrington) Kaufman. On May 1, 2021, Kyle married his soulmate Jessi Bailey.  He was a hard worker, working at North Central Machining in Appleton and was also in school working towards a degree in machining to continue to provide the best he could for his family.

Kyle was fiercely loyal to his family and friends, would give them the shirt off of his back, and was only a call or text away. He lived for riding his motorcycle, especially with his wife and children. Kyle was well known to live life to the fullest, earning himself the nickname "No Joke" and seemed to always find mischief, but nothing he couldn't find a way out of. Most of all, Kyle will be the best guardian angel for ALL of his family and friends.

Kyle is survived by his wife, Jessi; children:  Jordan, Emmitt, Kylie, Kason, and Kimora; parents, Paul and Kellie Kaufman; siblings:  Corey (Hailey) and Savanah (Zack) Kaufman; grandmother, Sandie Sarnowski; mother-in-law, Beverly (Todd) Genskow; and brothers and sisters-in-law:  Lee (Meg) Bailey, Andy (Tracy Rapp) Bailey, Blake Genskow, and Bobbie Cella.  He is further survived by nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Kyle was preceded in death by his grandparents, Dave Kaufman and Connie Harbeck; uncles:  Corey Harrington, Willy Kaufman, Suicide, and Killer; aunt, Toni Jones Kaufman; godfather, Jamie Heegeman; great grandparents; and best friends, Drew Dietzen and Grant.
