Doyle was a kind man.
He treated others well with respect and made time for other people. I’m sure he was greeted by loved ones previously passed and many pet animals.
Thank you for loving so many people
Doyle has always been someone that just made you feel good to be around. He was rarely seen without a big smile on his face, and he always had a positive outlook on life. Even recently with all of the trials he was going through, that smile was still there brightening the room, and the hearts of those who visited him. Doyle was a devoted husband, father and friend who always had time for you, and made you feel important. He loved, served, and blessed the lives of all those he had contact with. Doyle was not judgemental, and was always there ready and willing to help others in any way he could. Doyle and Teena moved into their home on Delta the same night we did over 43 years, ago,. We quickly became friends as well as neighbors. It was almost like having a big brother and sister living two houses away. We loved having them as part of our lives, and raising our children together. Doyle will be missed, and will always be loved.
Matt and Sarah:
We are so sorry for your loss of father and grandfather in family. I didn’t get to meet Doyle and Teena, but always heard lots of good things that made him so special. Surely you will miss him! But know that he waits for your reunion on the other side of the Veil. Arlin and I send our love ad prayers to your mother, Teena, and everyone in your family, Matt. Your dad and mother are extremely proud of you and will see you again someday in Heaven.
Your dad will be waiting for you! Cherish memories with your mom, and keep them sacred. Doing that will help heal from grief. We love you! Aunt Ronda and Uncle Arlin
