Doyle was born January 7, 1923, in Elk City, Oklahoma, to W.P. and Laura Winn. He graduated from Elk City High School and was a star athlete. He then began work in the grocery industry as a meat cutter and did that until retirement, but what he did best was love and care for his wife and family.

He was preceded in death by his parents and three brothers and 1 sister.
