Doyle my memories of you and Denise go back to high school musicals. Your dedication to all the performances was a blessing.
In later years, your drywalling our home in Rochester was welcoming and very helpful. Rest in peace.

What can I say about my big brother? He made a laugh like crazy. He would send me pictures of oranges with no explanation. He talked about Florida, oranges and his neighbors. He bragged on his kids and their accomplishments and of course his Niecy. He was loved by so many and so many loved him. I bet Heaven is a bit more lively since he got there. You will be missed.
It’s so hard to form words for the words of love. Thru love my father had taken the time to not exactly explain life, but instead used his life as an example to how a man should be in very aspect. I have learned so many things from this great man I called dad. How to be tough, but yet very loving and sweet. How to stand up for yourself, but yet with the understanding and respect of the other side. There are just so many these are a few. The most important thing I had learned was how to treat the ones you love, how to take care of them, the true value of family, and it’s importance to life. Growing up I had everything I needed. Guidance, support, and lots of love. As a man I strive to be as good as my dad was in every way. Those are big shoes to fill. And I gladly try my very best to be the man my dad was. Just like a lightbulb the energy of life flows and shines bright. When the bulb burns out. You can remove the bulb but just because you can’t see the light, the energy is still present. Any doubts on that stick your finger in the socket and find out for yourself. Thank you for everything. Very simply without you my life wouldn’t exist. So there really is no amount of thanks I could ever give. But trying my best I use the words I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!
Doyle & Denise were great neighbors of ours in FLorida. We had many visits & talks under the carport. He loved to sit outside & chat with many who passed by on their golf carts. Doyle became friends with a farmer down the road and every time we saw him coming home on his golf cart he was sure to have oranges and grapefruit to share with anyone who wanted them. Fresh squeezed was the best orange juice. Doyle was loved by all who knew him and we were blessed to have them both as our neighbors. Until we meet again Doyle. May you Rest In Peace. 🙏
From my son Tyler: My Grandfather was a wonderful role model and somebody I’d look forward to seeing throughout the busy weeks. He would always introduce me and my brother to new things, like picking fruits and vegetables, shooting my first bullets, and playing chess, among many other things. He’d gloat to his friends and family members about us, always saying how great we were. He always took care of me and my brother when my mother or father wasn’t around, and he’d never been upset about us being with him.
There are so many things I wanted to do with him that I couldn’t, such as fishing and more farm activity. He will be missed with both me and the rest of his family, to his closest friends. He is always with us, smiling and laughing like he always has.

Uncle Doyle was a great man. He was always there when you needed him. Amongst the other things listed he also used to coach track. He would lake time out of he weekends to ensure that I had explosion out of the blocks. He helped finish the drywall at my house and would give advice whenever asked. I enjoyed so much good corn and know how to choose a great watermelon because of uncle Doyle. He will be missed
My freind Doyle was truly an amazing guy . I have so many happy memmories I truly don't know where to begin . But he showed up one day to help pick corn for the Salvation Army in Mt. Clemens and that was start of a lasting freindship . He was always willing to lend a hand . not just me but anyone in need !No questions asked !He helped on the farm all the time , picking watermelons , driving tractors you name it he could do it . Never to hot , too wet , too cold , and he was never too tired to lend a hand. He sold flowers and produce all the time , at GM , or at the stand in Romeo . As soon as he'd make a good sale he would walk over and hold up his fingers : sold 8 hanging baskets ! And get this big grin on his face .The thing was he would never take a penny for himself . I tried , and he responded that if he took anything it would absolutely take all the fun out of it !
Doyle had a big , big heart . If someone truly needed something he'd find a way to get it for them . He also had a good sence of humor , always kidding our kids or the helpers at the stand .
I have always said he was ! of a kind , I believe that anyone who got to know him always loved him . He will surely be missed here and we"ll see him at the pearly gates of Heaven . Ray & Linda VanSteenkiste
