Doyle was the son to Shelton Pernell and Daisy May Barber. He is preceded in death by his wife Miyako. Doyle met Miyako in Tokyo, Japan right after World War II. The world was suffering through a tough recovery at that time but Doyle and Miyako’s love for each other overcame cultural and geographic differences to form a strong bond that was amazing to be a part of.

As a young man, his first job was working for Cone Cotton Mills in his hometown of Greensboro, NC. Doyle then joined the Army and spent 23 years serving our country. After retiring from the Army, Doyle worked in a wide variety of jobs in areas such as insurance, Grant’s department store, 7-11 management, and hotel night auditor.

Doyle will be remembered as a person that always put the needs of others before his own. He was always upbeat and kept humor in every day of his life. Even while residing at an assisted living facility, he stood out in the eyes of the staff and residents because he made everyone laugh. His smile and his laugh were contagious.
