Aaron was born on October 26, 1949 to Benjamin and Connie (Crouch) Doyle in Batesville, AR. He grew up in Rock Island and graduated from Rock Island High School.

Post retirement, Aaron returned to nursing education as an adjunct instructor at Black Hawk College.
On November 17, 1973, Aaron was united in marriage to Rondi Mack in Matherville. The couple made their home in Milan where they raised their two daughters. They were members of St. Ambrose Catholic Church.
Aaron was a talented musician who played guitar and a variety of instruments in several local bands. He was also a car enthusiast owning many convertibles over the years. He was a dog lover and cared for them as they were members of the family, especially his beloved Bear. He was an active member of the community participating in local theater productions, volunteering for fundraisers and galas, and offering his musical talents for church services and celebrations. Aaron touched many lives and brought such joy and wisdom to everyone he met. He cherished all the time he spent with his family.
He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Rondi; children, Brooke (Megan) Doyle, Brittany Doyle, Jennifer Meek, and Brandon Meek; siblings, Randy (Gabriele) Doyle and Teresa (Brian) Fry; five grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
