Archway of Hope is currently working on our eighth documentary project with the Kyle family. We have the honor of working with Chris’ parents, Wayne and Deby, his brother, Jeff, and several friends and team members to talk about the Chris they knew. His family and friends were never starstruck by Chris, “The Legend.” They love and miss Chris, the son, the brother, and the friend.
Long before his notoriety as a decorated Navy SEAL, Chris Kyle was a kid who loved life, adventure, family, and friends. From a young age, he lived out the principles that made him who he was when he later served his country. He was the one who stood up for the “little guy” and wouldn’t back down from anything or anyone that challenged his notion of right and wrong.
When the Kyles lost Chris, they didn’t mourn the loss of an American hero or famous warrior. They mourned the senseless murder of a son and brother. Adding to their pain, they’ve endured unwanted attention and even harassment, being the family of American Sniper, Chris Kyle. This has made their grief journey particularly challenging.
Despite their lives being forever changed, the Kyles have pressed forward in hope and service to others. They have vowed to make a difference in the lives of veterans and first responders in various ways, including the American Valor Foundation. They serve in the spirit of Chris and his motto, “It’s our duty to serve those who serve us.” Archway prays that this project will be one of hope and inspiration for people who have lost someone too early.
We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, March 19th at the Hippodrome Theater in Waco for the film’s premiere. As with our previous documentary films, we are working to fund the production through support from our Archway friends and others interested in the project. If you would like to support the Chris Kyle Documentary and receive a producer credit on the film, please see below.
Thanks again for your love and support,
Paul Allison,
President, Archway of Hope

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
There is a healing power in hearing stories of perseverance and hope. People who have lost a loved one too early need to hear from others who share a similar experience and have bravely kept moving forward in life and hope for the future. Grieving people need to know that life is still possible and this is why Archway works to tell stories that matter.


Archway of Hope creates documentaries, short form videos, and podcasts where people can share their experiences with loss, grief, and ultimately, growth.
These stories are inspiring to others, but they also provide additional healing for those who share the most painful chapters of their lives with the world.
We are always looking for people willing to share their unique story with the world. If you are connected with anyone who lost a loved one too early and might be willing to work with Archway on a documentary, video, or podcast, please reach out to us. We want to tell as many stories as possible from various perspectives so
that we have content that is relevant to everyone
navigating the path of grief.
