Leonard Doyle, Jr.

1947 ∼ 2020

Leonard "Bo" Doyle Jr., 73, of Groves, Texas passed away Friday, September 18, 2020 with his loving family surrounding him at St. Joseph Medical Center in Houston, Texas.

Bo was born March 1, 1947 in Merryville, Louisiana to Leonard Doyle Sr. and Sylvia Doyle.

Bo was a resident of Groves for 50 years and was a member of Faith Tabernacle. He retired from Motiva as an operations supervisor after 42 years of service.

Bo proudly served in the U. S. Army during the Vietnam War. He received a National Defense Service Medal, and Vietnam Service Medal with 2 Bronze Service Stars.

He was preceded in death by his parents Leonard Doyle Sr. and Sylvia; sister, Sylvia Doyle; father-in-law and mother-in-law Lawless and Francis Broussard; and brother-in-law Ricky Broussard.

Survivors include his loving wife of 49 years, Debbie Broussard Doyle of Groves; daughter, Kristie Gilchrist and husband Chad of Port Neches; son Kevin Doyle and wife Joni of Orangefield; three sisters, Adra Smith and husband Reverend Terry Smith of Kinder, LA, Mary Doyle of Raleigh, NC, and Karen Smith and husband Kenneth of Bon Wier, LA; brother, Gary Doyle and wife Debbie of Merryville, LA.; grandchildren, Mason Roccaforte, Kacey Broussard, Preleigh Doyle, Savannah Gilchrist, and Burkleigh Doyle; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Bo enjoyed hunting, fishing, cutting trees, being outdoors but what he loved the most was being with his family. Bo was the most, kind hearted person you will ever meet. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and I don't think he knew the word no. He was loved by many and will be deeply missed.

A visitation for family and friends will be Friday, September 25, 2020 from 5:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. at Levingston Funeral Home in Groves.

Funeral services will be at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, September 26, 2020 at Levingston Funeral Home with Pastor Kaleb Rule, Reverend Terry Smith and Reverend Rod Nesmith officiating. Military graveside rites will follow at Oak Bluff Memorial Park in Port Neches.

Condolences

Debbie, Kristie, Kevin and family. So sorry to hear about Bo. Everyone at work had nothing to say but good things about Bo Doyle. I remember all the times talking to the " Merryville Flash" at Kevin and Elliott's football practices. What a great guy. He will be surely missed on earth but I'm sure has been welcomed in heaven. With sympathy, Jody and Beverly Harrington

Debbie, Kristie, Kevin, and Family, my deepest condolences with your loss. Bo was one of the sweetest and kindest men that I have ever known. He was always my friend. I shall try to attend the services. If I do not make it, {my car is very old), I shall be there in spirit. But I shall be there with the help of the Lord. My heart goes out to everyone in this hour of grief and loss. All my love, Aunt Cindy

God has a truly special angel in Heaven now! In the 45 years I have known Bo, I can't remember a single negative thing he has said or done. He has always been the sweetest, kindest man, most considerate man I have known. He and Debbie were so beautiful together. They were always so much fun to be around. They raised a beautiful little family. He dearly loved his family and was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and brother-in-law to me for 20 years. I am so going to miss his big hugs and calling me auntie Pam. Debbie, Kristie, Kevin and the rest of the family, my heart is breaking typing this with tears streaming down my face. I can't even imagine what you are going through. While his loved ones are grieving so hard here on earth, Bo is in no more pain and we are grateful for that. Bo... Go rest high on that mountain. Son your work on earth is done! Love you Bo❤️

So sorry for you loss. I vividly remember him coming to my house just days after Rita hit. He and his big chainsaw cut up and hauled a way a huge wood fence in my backyard. It took hours. I was and am so grateful for that. He acted like it was no big deal. May his memory be a blessing. - Ralph Silverman
