Texas High’s Assistant Athletic Director Kyle Preston passed away Monday morning.

He is remembered as a friend to all.

Preston had a big heart and gave much more than he took. An award was named after him, the East Texas Coaches Association Kyle Preston Award for assistant coaches. His brother, Darren, a defensive coordinator for Carthage, was the first to earn the award in 2022.

Texas High Athletic Director/head football coach Gerry Stanford worked with Preston for seven years and knew him a little longer.

“He was the kind of guy who had never met a stranger,” Stanford said. “He made everybody who walked through our doors, athletically, feel like they had been here forever.

“He and his family are so well respected across this profession and across the state. The amount of lives that he impacted as a coach, not just in the professional world but also the players, is insurmountable. He truly tried to serve other people.”
