In Loving Memory of David Boyle

September 30, 1953 - June 18, 2025

David Boyle, 71, passed away peacefully in his sleep on June 18, 2025, with his beloved wife, Barbara, by his side. Born in Paisley, Scotland, on September 30, 1953, David came to America at the age of seven and made a life rich with humor, love, and unforgettable personality.

Known for his quick wit, sharp tongue, and colorful vocabulary, David had a way of making his presence felt wherever he went.

His outspoken behavior-bold, unfiltered, and often hilarious-was part of what made him so memorable. He wasn't afraid to speak his mind or shake things up, but beneath that brash exterior was a man who cared deeply about the people around him.

David was the longtime owner of Glasgow Concrete, a business he proudly operated for 22 years. He built the company through hard work, grit, and determination, and took great pride in the relationships he formed-with employees, clients, and friends alike. He approached his business and life with honesty, integrity, and a sharp sense of humor.

He was a devoted husband to Barbara, his partner in life and laughter for 49 years. He was a proud father to Kelly, David (Noushin), and Pamela (Victor); and a treasured grandfather to Jason, Liam, and Alina. David's greatest joy was his family-he loved fiercely and gave freely, always making sure those around him knew they mattered.

He was also a loyal friend to many-someone who made others feel seen, heard, and always entertained. If you were lucky, you got a nickname, a story, and maybe a bit of good-natured teasing to go with it.

A "Celebration of Life" will be held on July 3, 2025 at 4pm - 7pm. at Meson Sabika, 1025 Aurora Ave., Naperville. All are welcome to raise a glass and share a story in his honor.

David Boyle lived life loudly, loved fiercely, and will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever celebrated.

So many people that knew pete as I did. Would ask if I met his son-in-law David. I would say no I have not. They would give you that smile that let you know hold onto your hat. Ha ha. we were pouring concrete at the back of Calvary and I introduced myself to him. The tfirst thing David said to me was"you´re looking at the wrong eye dude" I went on many trips with David. I think David is one of those people to know him is to love him. I saw him as a man that was in constant pain. But I also saw the integrity and the honesty. That his word was his word. Will miss him and all that he is. Looking forward to what that new body will look like. I think it may take god a little longer to glorify it. Ha ha love to you, Barb the kids and the grandkids.

We were thick as thieves during our teenage years. We were lucky to get together one last time before the move to Arizona where he wanted to be with his family. There was never a question of what or why, only 'whose car we takin?" I'll see you soon my friend. Say hey to our old crew who passed before you.
