He then went on to work for Brown Show Company settling in Houston, Missouri where he retired and spent many years before moving to Hollister, Missouri in 2016 to be closer to family.
Doyle was a very generous and humble man and always made sure his family was taken care of. He will be greatly missed.
Per Doyle’s wishes, a private graveside service will take place. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in loving memory of Doyle.
