Brian J. Coyle

He was born October 5, 1963, in Duluth, MN to Glenn and Barbara (Filkins) Coyle. He was a 1982 graduate of East High School. He obtained a four year degree in Industrial Technology from UMD. Brian was united in marriage to wife, Sandra on September 10, 1994. Brian took great pride in his family and raising his children, Amanda, Jacob and Sarah. Brian was employed by Todd Signs for nearly 20 years as a sign fabricator. Brian has left his handi-work throughout Northern Minnesota with the signs he has built. He also served as a representative and board member to Painters and Allied Trades Local 106.

Brian had a love for life, made a new friend everywhere he went, and never forgot a name. He was passionate about his hobbies; snowmobiling, fishing, golfing, hunting, wine making, and spending time at the cabin. In 1985, he founded the Hell-Ya-Riders snowmobile club.

Faced with paralysis and cancer, Brian accepted and mastered each challenge presented to him. The hole in the hearts of those who loved Brian is huge. Brian showed everyone his amazing grace…what a legacy he left behind.

Brian was preceded in death by his grandparents.

He will be missed by his wife, Sandra (Tabor) Coyle of Duluth; three children, Amanda (Mark) Peaslee of Wenatchee, WA, Jacob Coyle, and Sarah Coyle; his grandson, Otto Peaslee; parents, Glenn and Barbara Coyle; two siblings, Kevin (Debbie) Coyle of Rochester, MN and Melinda (Mike) King of Superior, WI; several cousins, nieces, nephews, and countless friends.
