Doyle worked as a route salesman for many years with Dairy Fresh, Bordens, and Flav-O-Rich. He retired as a route salesman with Flowers Baking Company. He had a work ethic like no other man that you have ever met. He coached for over twenty-five years in the youth leagues of Headland, and gained many sons because of his kind and compassionate heart. Doyle met no strangers and left a good memory and smile with every person he came in contact with. He loved his family and especially his grandchildren that he nicknamed Catfish (boys) and Sally (girls). He was very quiet and humble man. He was a selfless man and would give you anything he had, if he knew you needed it. Doyle was a member of First Baptist Church – Headland. He was an avid Alabama fan and could coach with the best, from his recliner.
