It is with great sadness and the heaviest hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our dear son, brother, and father James Breton Doyle on March 29, 2020. He was born on June 11, 1978, to Bernard (Brown) and Linda (Sofan) Doyle, in Inverness where he lived all of his life and was a member of Stella Maris Parish, Inverness, NS.
Breton is survived by his loving parents, Linda and Brown; brother, Bobby Lee; daughter, Brianne; nephew, Finley. He was predeceased by his maternal grandparents Archie and Trixie Sofan, Inverness and paternal grandparents Catherine and Charles Doyle, Inverness. Breton will also be missed by his many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends with whom he had some very special relationships, especially Bernie with whom he spent many evenings on his deck watching the sun set.
Breton graduated from Inverness Academy in June of 1996, where he proudly wore his Rebels jersey during his high school years. He went on to study Power Engineering at NSCC Strait Campus and remained in Inverness after graduation, accepting employment at the Inverness Consolidated Memorial Hospital. Breton also spent many days aboard Island Echos, where he fished lobster with his father and enjoyed many evening rides. He loved to take friends and strangers to share in the beauty of the Western coastline and tell stories of his fishing experiences.
Breton’s accidental and untimely death has left a void in the hearts of all that knew him. The sharing of memories of the one that got away and the good times are endless. Breton loved the outdoors and could be found in his camo and fishing gear through all seasons as he loved to hunt and fish. Breton’s love for the outdoors and animals was shared with his significant other Allyson, where they spent much of their time enjoying the natural beauty that life has to offer.
Family and friends meant the world to Breton and he always enjoyed gatherings where he could usually be found closest to the guitar. He loved music, his Habs, but most of all he loved his daughter Brianne. He was so proud of her and cherished all of their time together.
Visitation will be held in Inverness Funeral Home on July 10, 2020 from 2-6 p.m. with Funeral Mass to be held on Saturday July 11 in Stella Maris Church, Inverness at 11 a.m., burial to follow in the Parish Cemetery.
Donations in memory of Breton can be made to the Inverness Consolidated Memorial Hospital Auxiliary.
