Doyle Lee Kyle, age 90 of Marshall, Arkansas passed from this life on Friday, January 5, 2024 at his home. He was born in Rock Springs, Arkansas on March 11, 1933 to Johnson Kyle and Madge McCarson Kyle.

He was a veteran of the United States Army and served during the Korean War. He attended the Church of the Nazarene when his health permitted.

He was a life-long drywall finisher and was still doing drywall work for family and friends, even after his retirement.

He was a man with a very competitive spirit and loved to challenge his kids and grandkids in many sports and games. He did not like to lose. He was an excellent bowler and bowled with his drywall crew on a league. He spent many hours at the Searcy County Senior Center where his competitive nature prevailed while playing with the Senior Olympics, dominoes or any other game or sport that was offered. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening and landscaping. He especially liked his Canada fishing trips. He always enjoyed family time and his presence will be greatly missed.
