Brian Patrick Doyle

Brian shared with his father a passion for automobiles and racing radio controlled cars. While he won numerous trophies for radio controlled car racing, one of his proudest moments, was developing a motor for the RC cars that is still used today. And, while he was too modest to talk about it, his skateboarding skills are, nonetheless, legendary.

Brian had a passion for playing the guitar. Beginning to teach Liza to play, was a joy that filled part of his life. Watching him play the guitar, with Liza strumming the cords and Carson lending his voice as he sang along to "Pinkle Pinkle Little Star" is a most cherished memory. Brian, also, loved the outdoors, and found joy in camping, mountain climbing, and hiking. He accomplished climbing 14 of Colorado's 14,000+ ft. mountains, commonly referred to as "14ers." Hunting with his father-in-law, Curtis, was another activity he truly enjoyed. Brian was also an accomplished photographer, with prints of his work displayed both publically and privately.

Brian enriched the lives of everyone he met, and we are all the better for having the gift of him touch our lives. We are forever thankful for the time we had with him and the memories that will carry us forward.
