He then worked as the custodial manager of the Marion School District before relocating to Monticello.
Doyle married the love of his life, Jackie Sue Tyler, on May 22, 1973. From the day he met her, he adored her and spent the rest of his life making sure she was happy and well taken care of.

I haven’t lived a day of my 44 years without my Uncle Doyle until he passed. It feels a little empty without him. He was there to catch me when my daddy died. He stepped into his boots and treated me like I was his own. He made life without my dad a little easier. I’m sure gonna miss him. RIL Unkie Dole

Doyle was a very special and rare person who was one of the two best people managers I ever knew. There was never any doubt where you stood with Doyle. If he said it, he meant it and he approached life with integrity. He understood people and created an environment of trust everywhere he went. My life was enriched and better for having known him.
Elaine and I send condolences to Jackie and his family. God broke the mold when he made Doyle Tyler.

For ourselves, we are grieving with broken hearts, but for Doyle, we are rejoicing and lifting up hands in hallelujah for his entry into the presence of Jesus.
We have loved him for a long, long time...52 years. We’ve had so many great times together! Could he ever grill some good food!! His BBQ chicken, Boston butts, and turkey legs were second to none! And he played a mean game of hearts...showed no mercy!
His obituary says he was “the man with the planâ€, and that is SO true. He had great discernment, the ability to cut to the chase and go straight to the heart of a matter. Matter of fact...cut and dried. He gave the best advice...ever!
He loved Jackie and his three girls with a passion! His biggest desire was to see them happy…and his grandchildren, too. His absence from us leaves a huge hole in our family. I thank God that he gives us memories to make the absence more bearable. We love you, Doyle Ray Tyler! RIP
We are praying for God’s peace and comfort as we go about learning how to live without Doyle.

Doyle was such a joy to be around. To me, he was a man of few words; when he spoke you listened. He was such a caring person and easily loved his family so much. He will certainly be missed.
