Upon graduation, Kai attended Butler University for one year before transferring into the Nyby family business. Kai later transitioned into acquisitions and worked with Waste Management, United Waste, and United Rentals. He was well-respected and appreciated within his industry.
Kai loved his family and the Lord with all his heart. His children and his grandchildren were his world. To Kai, family meant more than just blood, he made sure it was a priority. Daily, Kai reminded his family of their importance and how much he loved them. His family will miss him beyond understanding and look forward to the day of their reuniting.

He was kind and generous to a fault.
