Doyle Wayne Boles, born on July 29, 1952, in Crossville, Tennessee, has left this world on February 6, 2026, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His journey through life was marked by love, family, and his vibrant spirit. Doyle was the cherished son of Arthur and Evelyn Boles, and he carried the values instilled in him by his parents throughout his life.
Doyle grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, where he developed a passion for music and dancing, pursuits that he enjoyed thoroughly. He was known for his exuberance and the joy he brought to gatherings with family and friends, reveling in the moments spent together.
His commitment to service was demonstrated when he joined the United States Army, showcasing his patriotism and dedication to his country.
Doyle is survived by his beloved wife, Heather Boles, who stood by his side through thick and thin. He leaves behind his sister Charlotte and husband John, his brother Patrick and wife Amy, brother Jeffrey and wife Kim, and brother Michael and wife Patience, his children Lisa Paris and her husband James, and Randy Boles and his wife Sherri. He embraced his role as a stepfather to Brandon, Kim, Angela, Amy, Courtney, and Josh, welcoming them into his heart and family. His legacy continues through his grandchildren, Ashley Creekmore and her husband Jeff, Zachary Boles and his wife Courtney, and Blake Boles and his wife Hannah, as well as his step-grandchildren Karli, Kelsey, Tyler, Jace, Ashley, Christian, and Austin. Doyle was also a proud great-grandfather and cherished uncle, leaving behind numerous great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews who will remember him fondly.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Arthur and Evelyn Boles, his brothers Kenneth and David Boles, and his grandson Brandon Williams, whose absence is felt deeply by all who knew and loved them.
Doyle's warmth, kindness, and infectious spirit will be profoundly missed, but his memory will forever live on in the hearts of those he touched. His family and friends celebrate his life and the indelible mark he made on all who were fortunate enough to know him.
