He was a faithful member of the Northridge Church of Christ.
You could've called him an avid outdoorsmen. He enjoyed many outdoor sports such as camping, hunting, fishing and motorcycle riding just to name a few.
When he got out of pocket he might have been at Wright Pattman camping while running trot lines for catfish or under 21 bridge crappie fishing or he even may have run up to Broken Bow to hook a few rainbow trout. He was the same way when it came to riding his motorcycle.
He joined the Army in 1959. While serving, he found his passion for cooking for others. He loved showing off his skills weather it was on the grill, smoker, oven or over an open fire outside. For a long time if anyone wanted to have a fish fry you could count on Doyle to do the cooking….and you were never disappointed.
Through out his life he worked in an array of fields: Oil Refinery, Steele Mill, Long haul trucker and the pest control business. He was an entrepreneur at heart. In 1982 he opened and operated DeRBy Ent. House Leveling and Foundation Repair until he retired.
After retiring you could find him at what we called the "OFFICE" AKA Whataburger. Some times as many as twice a day. He liked going and hanging out with his coffee drinking buddies.
