\u201cAs a family, we wanted to take a moment to say thank you,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThe prayers, messages, flowers, meals, hugs, and countless acts of kindness have carried us through the most heartbreaking days of our lives. While our hearts are absolutely shattered, we have felt God\u2019s presence and arms wrapped tightly around us through each and every one of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe love that has surrounded our family during this unimaginable time has brought comfort in the middle of so much pain. Knowing the impact Kyle had on others and seeing how they are honoring him through each unique act of generosity is a true testament to how special Kyle is to so many people. There are moments when the weight of this loss feels impossible to carry, yet time and time again God, through you all, has shown us we are not alone,\u201d Busch added. \u201cFrom family and friends to fans and complete strangers, thank you for showing up for us. Thank you for loving our family so well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for loving Kyle. Thank you for honoring him. We may never find the words to fully express what your support has meant to us, but please know that we are deeply grateful,\u201d it concluded.<\/p>\n

Busch passed away on May 21 in Charlotte, North Carolina, after a sudden illness resulted in his hospitalization. According to\u00a0The Atlantic,<\/em> the death certificate indicates Busch suffered from a case of bacterial pneumonia days earlier, and the infection eventually progressed into sepsis.<\/p>\n
