Steven passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus after a hard-fought battle with Alzheimer’s
Disease.
Steven is lovingly remembered by his wife of 42 years, Elizabeth Doyle; his four children - Randy
Doyle and wife Beth Doyle, Deborah Bost and husband John Bost, Carolyn Frey and husband
Joshua Frey, and Allyn Doyle; his seven grandchildren; his mother, Shirley Doyle; his siblings -
Wayne Doyle and wife Marcia Doyle, Kathy Carlisle and husband Chester Carlisle, Barbara Beard
and husband Mike Beard, and Susan Pieklik and husband Mike Pieklik; and numerous nieces,
nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. Steven was preceded in death by his father Ralph
Doyle and brother John Doyle.
Steven lived a full life serving his savior Jesus Christ and loving his family. A graduate of the
University of Alabama, he was a life-long Crimson Tide fan. Steven worked hard in all his
endeavors and retired from WEB Industries after a varied and decorated manufacturing career.
He shared the gospel and touched many lives, serving faithfully in his church as a Deacon,
Sunday School Teacher, Youth Leader, and member of many mission teams. He took an active
role with Samaritan’s Purse as they worked to clean up after the devastating tornados in
Cookeville, Tennessee. Steven deeply loved his family, always expressing pride in his children
and grandchildren, and working diligently to provide for them. He genuinely loved to laugh and
often had a story or joke to share. Despite struggling with Alzheimer’s Disease, he spent his
retirement enjoying the Blue Ridge mountains and Watauga Lake with his family.
Jesus loves you. Roll Tide.
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
