Doyle Brannon of Fanshawe reached out and touched the face of God on March 17, 2011. He was born in Fanshawe on September 22, 1937, the first child of the late Notie and Ellis Brannon.
He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, John, sisters in law, Helen and Patricia.
Doyle always saw the funny side of every situation and prided himself on still being able to make his wife of 53 years, laugh at his jokes. Doyle and his wife were devoted to each other and always did everything together. They were best friends. He enjoyed life to its fullest, finding joy in everyday living. He thought he was the most fortunate of men to have her as his wife and be Dad to three wonderful daughters, Grandad to seven grandchildren and one great granddaughter.
He possessed such a kind heart and sought to find everyone's strength. He could make you believe in yourself.
His three daughters were his pride and joy. Each morning they received an e-mail from their dad with a thought for the day. He also kept an extensive daily journal and could rely upon it to refer to specific events. In this journal, he would critique the meal prepared by his wife the evening before.
Doyle was a member of the United Brotherhood of Carpenter's Local 329 for 52 years and served in the International Office in Washington DC as Apprenticeship Coordinator. He was an avid Oklahoma Sooner fan. Recently, upon finding a photo of himself when he was 3 or 4 years old dressed in his cowboy gear seated on a worn out Shetland pony, he decided he wanted to include this picture in his obituary with the caption "World Champion Rodeo Rider." If Doyle was writing this today, he would begin with "A wonderful Irishman went to Heaven on Saint Patrick's Day."
