Sean Doyle Obituary
Des Moines - Sean R. Doyle was born on August 27, 1966, to Dean and Joyce Doyle. His struggle with mental health led him to taking his own life at the young age of 54.
Sean graduated from Carlisle High School and went on to the automotive repair technology program at Southwestern Community College where he earned his Associate of Applied Science degree. He later obtained a Social and Behavior Sciences degree from DMACC.
Sean was a maintenance worker for Dowling Catholic High School and various apartment complexes for numerous years. Most recently, he worked at Woodward Academy, a role in which he took great pride.
Sean enjoyed tinkering on cars and around the house, but he was most happy when spending time with his family and friends.
Sean is survived by his sons, Robert Doyle, Casey (Mackenzie Weeter) Doyle, and Conner Doyle; long-time companion, Eve Hobbiebrunken; father, Dean Doyle; granddaughter, Leah Doyle; his siblings, Daniel (Rhonda) Doyle, Dena (Dan) Randles, and Michael Doyle; as well as many nieces, nephews, and special friends. He was preceded in death by his mother, Joyce.
A celebration of life gathering will be held from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, September 3, 2020, at Hamilton's near Highland Memory Gardens, 121 NW 60th Avenue in Des Moines. Cremation will follow and a private family graveside service will take place at Highland Memory Gardens Cemetery.

I am so sorry to her of Sean's death. To Sean' family my heart breaks for you. Please do not blame yourselves. Unless you were with Sean 24/7 it would not make a difference and if you did he would find a way. Please consider going to a grief counseling that Hamiltons provide. I wish you well my thoughts are with all of the Doyle family Darren Chipp's Mom CHS Class of 84. 1965 to 2016 Death by suicide
