Thinking about you today. Remembering you as a boy and your terrific smile. Rip

We are remembering you on your 50th birthday, Chip. We know one day we will see you again. You are never far from our thoughts and we love and miss you very much, little brother. <3

As I reflect on this past year, and the 6 months of milestones without you, as well as realizing today marks exactly 20 years since you and Pam married, I am reminded of the great blessing that you were in all of our lives. You showed us how to live with determination, perseverance, accomplishments and great joy!! I feel challenged to live like that!! We miss you today and forever and we love you, Jim, so very much!!

I knew Jim in our high school years and ran into him at a fly-in last year. We were out of town when this happened and just found out through a mutual acquaintance last weekend.

Jim was the most enthusiastic, caring and friendly people I have ever met. We used to laugh and laugh, even though  many years had passed, when I last saw him in Fort Worth it was like we had been solid buddies forever. 
Jim was a tremendous talent and a beautiful human being. 
God bless him and the whole family. 
Our Prayers are with you all.

My sincere condoleances to familiy and friends of Jim. I remember Jim as a always friendly and passionate individual in whatever he choose to do. Spend many hours working with him and enjoyed some great bike trips with Jim. He loved his family dearly. I think Carl said it best: “Now there was a guy who lived the dream and did he ever do it well!”
I wish his family all the strength to get through this loss.

“Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding. Find out what you already know and you will see the way to fly.” .........“We choose our next world through what we learn in this one."
? Richard Bach, Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Jim made it to the next in world, and it must be a great one.

I still can't believe this happened. Although I only knew my cousin Jim when he was young, I feel the pain of loss for his family, especially for my Uncle Jim.  My sincere condolences to everyone who knew Jim, especially his wife Pam and daughter Darcy.

My heart goes out to Darcy and Pam.  I'm so grateful to have known Jim.  He was such an awesome guy.  From the first time I met him, he became the close friend that I never knew I had within 5 minutes of our first conversation. 
I won't forget the incredible welcoming party Jim and Darcy had for me when I showed up a day late to fly in the 2014 Lonestar Aerobatic Contest.  I hadn't even gotten out of my plane yet when he and Darcy were standing next to my cockpit with friendly smiles and a warm Texas welcome.  They carried my gear for me and helped me prepare to compete in minimum time after my cross country flight.  And later that evening, at the hotel reception, I listened as Jim talked about his family and in particular how Darcy had caught the aviation bug.  His fun and candid descriptions were straight from his heart.  The memories I have of him will never fade, especially the ones from just a couple of weeks ago.
Even though I didn't know Jim as well as some, I feel a huge sense of loss that can't be explained for losing a brother in aviation.  
My hopes and wishes for healing and strength go out to Darcy, Pam, and all of his family and friends.

Pam and Darcy,

I rode the van with Jim on our way to Lockheed.  I am so grateful to have known him.  He loved you both!  I remember he couldn't wait to get off the van and go flying and see the two girls in his life.

Pam and Darcy, 

Cathy and I pray that you find the strength to overcome the loss of your father and husband.  He will love you forever and we your famiily will be close at hand when you need support. 
Love,
John and Cathy Breen and family

When I think of Jim, I think of a dedicated and positive individual who pushed others to be better than they thought they could be. He is dearly missed.  Here's a quote from Jonathan Livingston Seagull, "We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill. We can learn to be free! we can learn to fly!” 
? Richard Bach, Jonathan Livingston Seagull

From our minds and hearts we sincerely pray for you, Pam and Darcy, in the tragic loss of your husband and father. We pray that Jim entered eternity in the arms of Jesus the instant he left   this world. May God wrap His arms around you and give you strength at this time. 
May God also give strength to Jim's father, Dr. Jim, and his sisters, Colleen, Terry, and Robin left behind until we are all joined together in His Heavenly Kingdom
We Love You,
Uncle Ken & Aunt Rose

Jim was a good friend and mentor to me.  We shared an office in Waco for a couple of years where he taught me much about aircraft stress analysis.  I still quote him now in classes I teach, "We are the champions of airworthiness!"

He was a passionate engineer, a devoted husband, and a doting father.  My deepest condolences to Pam and Darcy.

a great man we did lose.
a friend for the ages.
he flew with the angels
like birds without cages.

so great was he
that i spent the time and i learned 
what drove this man
and the adventures he yearned.

it was clear upon start
family and flying were all his concern
and greatness follows those
whose heads and hearts are set firm.

my deepest of sympathies
for all that shall miss
the man of all ages
a man of great bliss.

it is in these words
that my very heart toils.
i shall never forget
the great jim doyle.

Much sympathy for the Doyle family.  I am so sorry for your devastating loss.  Prayers and God's peace for the entire family.

I met Jim at his hangar a couple of years ago while visiting Arlington. He was so friendly and nice and instantly I knew we'd become friends. We spoke many times on the phone and he was gracious enough to patiently answer this newby skybolt's questions. He built my spades and sighting device and wasn't willing to accept any compensation. I finally talked him into letting me pay for materials and shipping. He was an amazing pilot and we are all better for having known him.  My deepest condolences to his beautiful girls.

My deepest condolences to all the family and friends of this most remarkable man! I am honored to have known him in his youth and from what I've heard of him and his family he remains a beacon to all of how to LIVE your life, and leaving seeds of love implanted in the path behind him. Your family to us up in Ohio are the "Stars of Texas"ever shining for all of us to admire! We will miss you, pray for you and always love you!! *Rosie*(Rosemarie Anderson cousin from Breen family)

Praying for God's peace for Jim's family.

Jim! 
The emotions we have at this time are almost too much to contain, and we were just your co-workers and friends!  What an accomplished engineer, craftsman, son, brother, husband, uncle, and father you showed us that you are.  And all the while teaching us, by showing us, that there are far many more important things in our worlds than we each tend to focus on.

We will miss you greatly! And since most of us at work came to know you about 14 years ago, I'm sure it will be many times in the next 14 years and beyond that we'll still think of you and your abilities, dreams, and accomplishments and declare, “Now there was a guy who lived the dream and did he ever do it well!”

Fondly wishing you Sunny Weather and Smooth Skies,

From your colleagues and friends at Lockheed-Martin and me, humbly,

Carl McConnell

Chip was a great cousin and I am just so shocked to learn of his tragic death.  All of us in the Breen family remember him fondly especially his bright smile, full laugh and incredible aptitude. I greatly enjoyed spending time with him and the rest of the Doyle family in our 5 years in Dallas.  Jim was an instigator and to see the family play off his humor along with Aunt Terry & Uncle Jim was just plain fun to watch. Chip was very special and I know he leaves behind a tremendous legacy. We truly wish we could have been at the memorial service but please know our hearts and prayers are with you.  Pam & Darcy--we pray for you during this difficult time and ask that God bring comfort to you in some small way. May Chip Rest in Peace along with Cousin Lori & Aunt Terry.

with much love & prayers,

Mark & Lisa Breen and Family

As a new pilot and sometime hanger-on of the acro community I saw Jim often at the local airports. He always went out of his way to welcome me and encourage my flying aspirations. I will miss you buddy, wherever you are now.

Jim and I went to grade and high school together. My mother taught him in third grade. Although we were one year apart, we became friends because of our and our Dad's mutual interest in aviation. Fondest memories include spending countless hours working on model aircraft together and flying them in vacant fields off South Cooper now covered by parking lots, shopping centers and homes. Jim, Dr. and Mrs Doyle were always very kind to me whenever I was at their home. While I am very saddened to hear what happened, one thing for sure, he was a passionate person doing what he loved. How many of us can say we have been able to orient our lives around our passion? He now flies with the pioneers of aviation in the great beyond.

TO THE DOYLE FAMILY.
MAY YOUR HAPPY MEMORIES OF THE PAST BRING YOU A MEASURE OF COMFORT AND PEACE.
 I AM A CAREGIVER THAT TERRY WOULD CALL TO GO HOME WITH DR.DOYLE PATIENTS,OR TO THE HOTEL
WITH THEM.

Dear Darcy and Pam,
I am so sorry. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

You will be missed, Jimbo. Fly with the angels, brother.

I have very fond memories of Jimmy mostly from my childhood when our family visited Texas for Colleen's wedding.  My brothers and I buddied up with him right away and hung out with him as often as we could.  I remember how much I admired him for his passionate pursuit of airplanes and his eagerness to want to teach me about them.  I looked up to him and always saw him as a strong person who knew exactly what he wanted from life.  My family and I will pray for all of you with hope that you can find peace and comfort in the experiences and the memories that you created and shared together!  God bless you and comfort you!

With love and sympathy, Callen, Kenzie and Connor Breen

Jim always loved to talk about two things: flying & family.  He always had that gleam in his eye & smile on his face when he talked of Darcy & Pam.  He did life over the top.  Thanks for giving my children their first flights. It was a pleasure to have worked with him & learned from him too.

I met Jim while working on the F35 for Northrop Grumman.  I remember him as a great co-worker who loved to talk about his family and his biplane.  He will be missed.

My heartfelt condolences go to his family, friends, and co-workers.

R.I.P.

Whether it was the yellow Pitts or the yellow Skybolt, it was the sign that another fun afternoon was in store at the Midway airport.  I will miss your company and friendship most but your spirit will live on in my fond memories and through your wonderful family.  Tailwinds and Gods blessings my brother.

My sincere condolences to Jim's family.
I worked at Northrop Grumman and worked with Jim on the F35 fighter.  Jim was a consummate engineer and an all around good guy. We can take solace in the fact that he died doing what he loved best. We will miss you Jim!

Prayers and blessings to Jim's family.  He is missed greatly!

I met Jim a quite a few years ago at our national aerobatics championships   he was definitely all about flying.

I didn't get to know Jim all that well, but we had a lot in common. I'll miss him.

Earlier this year, I was preparing to move my aerobatic airplane to the local area from where I previously lived in order to start competing again.  I found Jim's contact information on the IAC Chapter 24 website and we started to email back and forth.  He kindly offered me very helpful tips and information to get me settled in the local aerobatic community.

I finally got to meet him in person on June 1st, only a month ago at the aerobatic club meeting at Mid-Way airport.  He was one of the nicest people I've ever met in my life.  I was looking forward to getting to know him more and competing together at contests.  I never thought that the meeting would be the first and the last time for us to see each other.  It is terribly heartbreaking.  My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Jim was a great aerospace mentor and co-worker. I'll miss his smile. When I first started out as a engineer, his patience and attitude made a huge difference in my ability to learn  and grow as an engineer. My prayers go out to his family. He was one of a kind and will be missed greatly.

Jimmy has been and continues to be so dear to us all.  I can never forget his gentleness and thoroughness in the checking out the Skybolt before going up, and his enthusiasm for life. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to him and all the family especially to Pam and Darcy.  May we all experience the joy of his presence flying in Heaven with the Angels of God and all the Saints!

I'm not sure that I played a big part in Jim's life, but he definitely played a big part in mine.  I shared my most exciting moments with him when he took me up in the skybolt.  He walked me through choosing and buying my plane, and he was my go-to guy when I had flying questions.  I worked with Jim on the F-35 and enjoyed his sincere friendly smile daily.  He was an amazing man and a great friend.  My condolences to his family.  We are all better people because of him.  He will be missed sorely.

Jim was a great guy and a respected colleague.    My sincere condolences to his family and friends

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Jim during one the many aerobatic events at our airport.  It was obvious to anyone who met Jim that he was passionate about flying and his family.  It was always a pleasure working with Jim and watching him fly. You are in our prayers.

I shared an office with Jim for a few years at Raytheon (now L-3) in Waco.  I was in the early years of my career, and Jim had a profound affect on me.  The joy with which he pursued his chosen vocation was infectious, and helped a young and impressionable engineer learn that a career can be much more than just a job and a paycheck.  He was a beacon of optimism and enthusiasm amidst many other co-workers who were pessimistic and negative about their career path.  He helped me learn to love being an engineer.  I will never forget the excitement he would show when he would figure out the solution to a particularly challenging technical problem, or the time he spent teaching and mentoring me in classical aircraft analysis techniques.  Beyond that we also shared many deep discussions about family, religion, the Skybolt project, and my passion - baseball.  I am saddened at his passing, but grateful for the opportunity to have worked alongside him.  Thanks for all you did for me Jim!

We will miss you terribly, Jim.  Your smile lit up every room you entered.  Godspeed on your flight west.

Never has God graced the earth with a soul as kind and benevolent as our dearly departed friend, Jim.  Truly he shall be missed as the footprint left on this world touched many lives in such a positive manner.  From my family to yours, our deepest sympathy on the loss of a good man.  Keep him alive in your hearts by holding on to the positive memories and may God Bless.

My husband, granddaughter (15 years old), and I, met Jim at the Grayson County Airport last year, and he was such a nice man. He took time to show us his plane and answered the many many questions our granddaughter had for him, with kindness. (You could see the love he had for flying.) He also let her sit in his plane. She was overwhelmed with excitement that he let her do that and the attention he showed her!! Words can never express what kindness he showed to us and the deep sorrow we feel on hearing about his death. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this sad time in their lives. May God watch over them and give them peace and comfort in the days to come.

We are deeply saddened by the tragedy and loss of our nephew Jim. He was an inspiring relative and exhibited exceptional talents. We will miss you Jim, so very very much. To Pam and Darcy: May you both persevere during these challenging times. Hold on to your memories and you will always have him in your hearts.     Love Forever, Uncle Frank and Aunt Pat Humenik and family

Terry, Colleen, Robin and Doyle Family:  My heart breaks for you.  Your family has endured so much pain in the last several years.  It is a testament to your love for one another that you become even closer to each other.  Jim was a sweet boy who grew up to be a very special man.  He was intelligent, warm, spirited, funny, caring, loving and loyal.  Whenever I had the chance to visit with him, he always made me feel like whatever I said was of importance to him.  He had a way of looking at you that made you feel you had his undivided attention.  And, there always was that sparkle of mischief in his eyes.  The expression “light up a room” is so very appropriate when describing him.  Jim could definitely light up a room.  Take your wonderful memories of him and his love for you as a comfort in these hard days.  Love and prayers to you, Lynda

Jim brought life to Grand Prairie Airport and inspired others to fulfill their dreams of aviation!  *Blue Skys Jim, and God Bless. LMCO Team.

We last saw Jim at Critters Lodge in May. Every time we saw him it just made our day. What a great person. Jim, you will be sorely missed.

I have not worked with Jim for several years but would see him at EAA 670 meetings on occasion. He was always a good friend to everyone and will be greatly missed. My condolences go out to his family and other friends. God bless Jim, he lived his dream and shared it with others.

Jim was person I always looked for at fly-in events. I found him to always be gracious, courteous, a joy to converse with and just plain fun to be around. I will miss him.

We are heartbroken. Jim the good friend, family man, pilot, and all-out wonderful person, you will be sorely missed. We last saw Jim at Critters Lodge in May.

A true aviator, a superb craftsman, and just a great guy, Jim will be sorely missed by all who knew him.  He died too young, but he really lived!

We are so very saddened about your loss of Jim Doyle. He was a hard worker just as his family was. Prayers today for the family

Jim - I will always be thankful for our friendship, the time we worked together and the times we were supposed to be working but instead were sharing family stories.  I feel like I knew Pam and Darcy Doodle personally from all of the times you spoke of them, and from all of the photos and Darcy artwork you shared.  They were definitely loved by you!  I know your sweet mom was there to meet you at the gates of heaven, and what a joyous reunion that must have been.  Until we meet again, you will truly be missed.  RIP my friend.
