Doyle was one of the nicest, happiest, kindest mean I knew. He will be missed by so many. He touched so many lives through his ministry and infectious smile. He leaves behind a lasting legacy which pleases God I’m sure. So glad to have had the opportunity to have known him. Now there is no more pain but perfect happiness.
