Patrick T. Doyle

Patrick Terence Doyle of Rancho Palos Verdes, CA, beloved husband, proud father, and grandfather passed away suddenly on January 9, 2023 at the age of 67. Born in Davenport, Iowa, on January 3, 1956, Pat was the youngest son of Jim and Lois (Greenwood) Doyle. He attended Assumption High School and the University of Notre Dame, graduating in 1978 with a degree in Accounting and Business Administration.

While at Pat's first job as a Certified Public Accountant at Deloitte and Touche in Davenport, he met his loving wife, Marla Panno Doyle. They married on October 24, 1981, and shared 41 wonderful years together.

Pat was a highly respected and successful businessman. After four years at Deloitte, his career led him to Baker Hughes for ten years. He joined DIRECTV in 1992 where he worked as Director of Taxes, Controller, Corporate Vice President & Treasurer, Executive Vice President of Finance, and retired in August 2015 as Chief Financial Officer. He served on the Board of Directors at Sprint after retirement.

Pat was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, and friend. He was a proud father to Ryan (Stephanie), and Brendan, and "Pa" to Lillian, Madelyn, and Jack Doyle. Pat meant everything to his family, and his family meant everything to him. Ryan and Brendan feel like they won the lottery having Pat as their Dad and best friend.

Many years were spent coaching and mentoring youth with Lunada Bay Little League, where Pat later served as Controller and President of their Board. Lifelong friendships for all the Doyles began with these fun baseball years. Pat was known as, and fondly called, "Coach" in the Palos Verdes community.

Beginning with Pat and Marla's first visit to Big Sky, Montana, nearly 30 years ago, the family has spent countless fun and relaxing weeks at their vacation home at Spanish Peaks. Pat found great pleasure at Big Sky - golfing, especially playing in the annual Cattle Drive golf tournament, celebrating Christmas with extended family, skiing, fly fishing in the mountain rivers, and hosting family and friends. Pat was an original member of the Spanish Peaks Golf Committee and a long time member of the Spanish Peaks Advisory Committee in which he was recently elected Co-chair.

Frequent travel, including cruises around the world, became a favorite for Pat and Marla. Sharing these adventures with friends and family were special times. Of course, Pat's love of his alma mater, Notre Dame, and Fighting Irish football was a lifelong passion, often returning to campus to watch his beloved team. Pat began golfing at a very young age, starring on the Assumption High School golf team, and improving his game during retirement becoming a 3 handicap golfer at Rolling Hills Country Club where he also served on the Board.

In addition to Pat's wife, sons, daughter-in-law and grandchildren, Pat is survived by his siblings Kathleen (Stephen) Stegmaier, Peggy (Donald) Van Slochem, and Thomas Doyle along with several nieces and nephews. Mother-in-law Ann Marie Panno and brother-in-law Mark (Tammie) Panno also survive. A funeral mass will be held on January 23, 2023, at 11:30, at St. John Fisher Church, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA.
