Doyle Smith Deese

A viewing will be held at Moore Funeral Home, 1219 N Davis Dr, Arlington Texas the evening of December 20, 2023 from 5:00pm to 9:00pm.

Doyle lived life to the fullest. Even towards the end, he said he planned to, “Stay Wild”. Doyle served in the Army Air Corp in World War II. When he returned, he was a bull rider while determining his career path and always considered himself a cowboy. He worked in the Aerospace and Defense Industry before starting his own business, Santech Industries, which supplied many different markets. He was awarded the Pioneer Award from the Mobile Air Conditioning Society, for his contribution to the automotive air conditioning industry. He retired from Santech in the 1990’s and traveled to many places with his wife Evelyn Deese, who preceded him in death. He loved people and he loved telling stories.

Doyle was born on a farm outside of Bynum Texas to Albert Leroy Deese and Lottie Lou Oliver. He is survived by his children Beverly Richardson, Doyle Dewayne Deese, Michael Deese, and Brenda Crump. He is also survived by 9 grandchildren, and 14 great grandchildren.
