I will always remember Doyle as a kind and loving man. I have always loved the Bridgefarmer Family and have had the honor of teaching dance to many of them. The whole family is in my prayers.

From my CEO Corner in the Chamber's Weekly Wire:

Former Mayor Doyle Bridgefarmer and owner of Bridgefarmer's Custom Trophies--long-term Chamber Investor--recently passed away. Doyle was a loyal supporter of the Chamber and was a good friend to me personally. You may not know that my husband, Rob Brown, ran against Doyle for Mayor. Throughout his term, we maintained a productive and robust working relationship. He never missed a Ribbon Cutting or Ground Breaking within the City limits of Pflugerville.

Our deepest condolences to the Bridgefarmer family. His contributions are valued and appreciated and he will be missed.

Bridgefarmers you are an amazing family. I know because I've known Josh for years and he is an amazing young man. I know because I'll never forget the love shown me when I met you guys.

I would like to extend my condolences to the family for the loss of Mr. Bridgefarmer. "Lean not unto your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your path", my prayers are with you.

I wanted to send my condolences to the entire family. Mr. Bridgefarmer was one of the few positive male role models in my life as a young adult. He always had a smile on his face and his laugh that would light up a room. He will be missed.

Michelle, Mary, and all of the family,
Your family stays in our prayers! We treasure our memories of Doyle...all of which include his smile and laughter. We are so thankful we were able to spend time with Doyle and Mary on beach vacations and at the many football games! When we think of Doyle, we can't help but picture him smiling in his lawn chair as he lovingly watched his grandchildren playing at the beach or playing football! The pics on here are great...he was such an amazing dad and grandad, as anyone can see! We send our love and prayers of comfort to you all. God Bless, Hollie and Chad Worley

I remember many years ago, my car broke down and Doyle and some of his family members picked me up and helped me get back on the road. That begin a friendship with Doyle, Mary, Shilo and Nick. The Bridgefarmer family was always cheerful and helpful and I enjoyed the friendship. To this day, when I see someone stranded, I usually stop and try to help and I think of Doyle.

No one could have enjoyed the photo gallery more than me. I watched Doyle and Mary start and run their business for ~35 years. In up times and down times, I never saw Doyle without his gigantic smile. Our family will be praying for Doyle's family through this difficult time.

Doyle will be missed by so many people that he met throughout the years. He treated all of his kids' friends like his own and we were all part of his big family. He and Mary were such a team and so in love....they were a fantastic example of what a marriage should be. We will miss you Mr. Bridgefarmer!
