Daniel Arthur Doyle

Daniel Arthur Doyle, 59, passed away on July 6, 2025. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, on July 14, 1965, Dan was the beloved son of Dr. Charles and Mary Doyle and was raised in Brecksville, Ohio, as the second of five children.
Dan was a handsome, charismatic man who touched the lives of everyone he met. Known for his free spirit and zest for life, he chose to live on his own terms and embrace every adventure that came his way. His time at Brecksville High School was his "Friday Night Lights" – those formative years filled with friendship, excitement and the kind of memories that last a lifetime. The bonds he formed and the experiences he had there remained close to his heart throughout his life.
Dan attended The Ohio State University, where he studied landscape architecture. After gaining a solid foundation in his field, he chose to pursue his passion for travel and authentic experiences that would shape the remarkable person he became.
His adventurous spirit led him to Australia, where he built a half-pipe skateboard ramp that was featured in Thrasher magazine-a testament to his creativity and skill. After Australia, Dan's love of a challenge and new experiences drew him to Alaska, where he worked in the demanding but rewarding fisheries industry.
Eventually, Dan found his true home in Colorado, where the mountains became his sanctuary. An avid skier and snowboarder, he discovered his paradise in the powder and peaks that surrounded him. For over 30 years, Dan built and ran his own contracting business, earning respect for his craftsmanship, reliability, and strong work ethic. His hands could fix anything, and his generous heart meant he was always willing to help others.
Dan was preceded in death by his father, Dr. Charles Doyle, in 2017, and his brother Andrew in August 2024. He is survived by his mother, Mary Doyle, and his remaining siblings, John (Alicia), Sally (Gustavo) Morais and Peter.
Those who knew Dan will remember him as someone who lived authentically and approached life with courage and enthusiasm. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Details will be forthcoming.
