October 29, 1979 – Saturday, June 4, 2022

Since the loss of you,
I've learned to live for each day
And take it as a blessing,
Knowing it may not always be this way.
Since the loss of you,
I've learned that when everything goes wrong
To never give up on what is right
Because it can only make you strong.
Since the loss of you,
I've learned that even when you're in a lot of pain
You've got to hold yourself together
So you won't feel like you're going insane.
Since the loss of you,
I've learned how to hold the tears when I want to cry
Because all I have is memories
And just want to ask God why.
But mostly, since the loss of you,
I've learned a life can be taken in the blink of an eye
And only Heaven really knows when
That person will have to say "Goodbye."

DOYLE, Brian Michael – Of Grand Blanc, age 42, was born in Flint, Michigan on October 29, 1979 and passed away on Saturday, June 4, 2022 as a result of an auto accident involving a drunk driver.
Memorial visitation 1 p.m. and Memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, June 18, 2022 at the Swartz Funeral Home, 1225 West Hill Road.
Cremation has taken place.
He was raised in Swartz Creek, Michigan and graduated from Swartz Creek High School in 1998. Brian worked as an electrician since age 18. He became known as a trouble-shooter of electrical problems and his work was that of perfection.
Brian was a car enthusiast. He never saw a car that couldn’t look better with special tires, rims and car bling. Brian had deep faith deep within his heart.
He gave the best sincere hugs. He loved passionately and he never met a stranger.
He had an infectious smile and he was a child at heart, with a knack for goofy quick-witted humor. He made people giggle over the silliest things.
Brian loved his country. He was proud to be a true patriot with strong political beliefs. If you knew Brian, you knew his stance on the issues of the day.
Family was more important than anything in his life. He loved passionately and if you were his friend, you were a friend for life and if you were down and out, Brian would show up on your doorstep to support.
So many introduced themselves as Brian’s Best Friend.” He called his parents almost every day, even if he only had a few moments. He ended every call with “I love you guys”. He put others needs ahead of his own and was beyond generous.
Brian gave in death as he gave in life, as he is a multi-organ donor to the Gift of Life. We suspect whoever received his heart, will be truly blessed.
Brian is survived by parents, John and Jeannie Doyle; brother and sister-in-law, Brett and Whitney Doyle; beloved twin nephews; 2 of his biggest joys, Jaxon and Hunter Doyle; uncles, Ron Boros, Jim Boros and Shelly Rowe, and Ron Claerhout and aunt, Linda Geiger; aunt and uncle, Yvonne and Mike Mancik; girlfriend, Danielle Paul; and many loving cousins.
Brian was preceded in death by paternal grandparents, John and MaryAnn Doyle; maternal grandparents, Alex and Irene Boros; aunts, Shelley Boros, Diane Boros, Barbara Boros, Dorothy Clarehout and Patricia Doyle and uncle, Bill Geiger.
Family is overwhelmed with the out pouring of love and support from all of Brian’s family and friends. It means so much to the family.
Our world has gotten a little darker for us, but brighter for Heaven. Brian’s brother said it best, “He flew fast and burned out bright”.
