Michael joined the Lord's Army of Angels after a valiant three-week battle with Covid at Palm Bay Hospital.

Mike, who was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, served in the U.S. Army as a Military Police Officer with 511th MP Company in Fort Drum, N.Y.  In 1989, Mike relocated to Palm Bay, Florida with his loving wife, Debra and oldest son, Michael Jr.  Their family grew when Matthew was born in 1990 and daughter, Jessica, 1995.

During his years building his life in Palm Bay, Mike served 29 ½ years with the Brevard County Sheriff's Office (BCSO). Deputy Doyle's assignments spanned the length of Brevard County, which included patrolling Barefoot Bay, Micco communities, BCC Police Academy Instructor, and numerous summers as a Camp Chance Counselor.

Mike was recognized as Employee of the Year at Hoover in 2012. Mike was recognized as Deputy of the Month numerous times during his tenure, finishing his commendable career at the County Courthouse before retiring on July 3, 2019.

Coach Doyle, AKA, "Captain America", touched countless lives and formed lasting relationships with many of the youth in the county. Mike relished any time he spent with his family, including vacations in Tennessee, Maryland and Pennsylvania.
