I am sorry to hear of Doyle’s passing. Charles Estepp told me, and he said Doyle had been ill for some years. I lost touch with all of you and didn’t know of his illness. Doyle was a kind, loving youngster and young man; I am sure he remained so the rest of his life. Each of you will be in my heart, and I wish you the easiest of time in dealing with his passing. My love to you all.
I enjoyed working with Doyle as a coach and educator. Please accept our sincere condolences. Hartzell Jones

I am sorry to hear of your loss, Doyle was a good man, I remember all the times he was there for me as a young lady, he cared deeply for the people around him, he was a role model for me and a true man of God, he showed me kindness and love for many years and for that I will be forever grateful. God gained another angel. my heart and prayers goes out to you, his family.
I was privileged to know and work with Doyle many years. He was a true Godly role model for others to only wish they could live like. This was an everyday lifestyle of Doyle.
May God Bless his family and loved ones.
Keeping our thoughts and prayers for Carol and the family,may God bring you comfort.
