DOYLE RAY SLAYTON Sr.

Cathy,
I just heard today from Chris that Doyle had passed away last month.
If you don't remember us we lived in Leakey, Texas when Doyle coached at the school. We often thought about ya'll throughout the years and wondered how ya'll were doing. We live back in Leakey now and I have visited with Chris in Hondo and he stated ya'll were in Harlingen. My son remembers him well while he was coaching in Leakey and remembers Doyle Jr. being a great football player.
Our deepest prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time. He was a very wonderful man and he really enjoyed coaching!!
---God Bless

To the Slayton Family, especially Cathy Slayton, whom I had the privilege to have worked with at Memorial Middle School, where I also met Doyle. I'm sorry for your loss but feel so fortunate to have met Doyle while he substituted at Memorial Middle School. As a coach myself, I really enjoyed the stories he shared when he too was coaching. Not only was he funny, but a genuine and a kind person. We all remember Coach Slayton as a football coach but one story that comes to mind is when he coached baseball in Zapata, Texas. I know that he loved what he did but most of all he loved the kids. He truly believed the hard work his athletes put in would make a big difference later in their lives. May God Bless the Slayton Family.
Coach Robby Galllaga

Coach Slayton was my 9th grade English teacher. I always enjoyed his stories about football. My condolences to Tracy and her family.

Coach was my husband's (Ervey Trevino) coach at Martin High School in Laredo and then at Tarkio College. Some of his other players from Laredo and Tarkio are at the service now. My husband and the rest of the guys were so fortunate to have Coach Slayton as a role model and father figure while they played for him in high school and college. If it wasn't for Coach Slayton a lot of these men may not have finished college. I am glad that they made the effort to go pay their respects in person. We are deeply indebted to him. May he rest in peace and our most sincere condolences to the Slayton family.

Doyle was our leader on the 1960 PSJA football team. He set the standard. And I was fortunate to play the position next to him. Lauryn Gayle and I extend our condolences to Cathy and all the Slayton family.

Rest in peace Doyle

Our sincere condolences to the Slayton Family. Doyle was a great man and coach. He gave the Valley boys an opportunity to get a college education. His home was always open to his players.
You are in our prayers.

May God comfort all of you loved ones of Doyle, and may his soul dwell with the blessed! It is a joy to see his photo, which I easily recognize from high school days.

My son's dad is now resting in peace. I am so proud of my son Doyle, Jr. for being at his side when his dad was in the hospital and at the Rehab center. He and his wife and 3 granddaughters were the only ones at his side and called him daily.

Great coach & great man. He got the best out of me as a player.

Sincere condolences go out to Doyle's family. We graduated in 1961 from PSJA. He was always so kind to me. May God help you through this difficult time and may Doyle RIP.

My dearest and most sincere feelings to all of Doyle's family. I coached with Doyle in Santa Rosa where he was instrumental in developing and establishing the winning and working tradition for the Warriors that existed for years after. Knew Tracy as a baby and my heart felt condolences go to her and the rest of the family.
The Lord bless each and everyone of you.
