Nyles wife, Darlene, was initially diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003 and went through heavy chemotherapy treatment followed by a mastectomy, more chemotherapy, and radiation. Her prognosis at the outset was poor, but Darlene was given five more good years. Her cancer returned in March 2009, and she died on October 25, 2010. Nyle holds a PhD in economics from UCLA.
