Joshua Doyle's Burial Fund

Donation protected
My name is James, I am Joshua Doyle's uncle. He was my second oldest nephew. Joshua was found unconcious by his girlfriend Rachel on Tuesday June 7th, he had went in to cardiac arrest and suffered a heart attack. During that time frame before his girlfriend found him and lack of oxygen, Joshua's brain had swollen and started to pull from his brain stem and sadly there was nothing that could be done and he had passed away at the very young age of 21.

When Joshua was 12 he suffered a brain aneurysm and it was a long road to recovery for his family and our family. It was touch and go then, but as tough as he was he pulled through and made a full recovery.

If you know our family, this is the second most terrible loss we have suffered in the last two years. His aunt AshleyRose and our sister, daughter, cousin passed away on June 7th, 2014 at the young age of 25. So to say we were shocked when we got a call on the day of our sister's anniversary that Joshua was in the hospital and was in a coma, would be a tremendous understatement.

His step-father and my brother-in-law Pat was recently diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. So for my sister and her family the last 6 months alone have been very tough.

Joshua was a vibrant young man who was full of life and he loved everyone. He had a very special bond with his aunt AshleyRose and he loved his family like no other. He especially loved and adored his siblings Nicholas, Sarah, Hannah, Colby and Karen. He was a free spirit who would give you the shirt off his back if you asked him to. He had a passion for music and was very good at rapping.  He was very funny and loved to make silly pictures and videos and hoped they would go viral. He loved to make people laugh and feel good about themselves. As my sister Kelly put in the best words possible, he was a strong, courageous son,brother,child,grandson,nephew loving boyfriend and friend. To say he will be deeply missed is a huge understatement. His memory will live on forever through friends and family. To see my sister and her family suffering not just once, but twice now is heartbreaking. No parent should ever have to bury a child and I can not imagine the amount of pain she and they are enduring. After suffering two very tragic and unexpected losses in the matter of two years. Words will never describe or capture just how amazing Joshua Emory Doyle AKA (Damn Doyle) was.

Joshua will live on not only through our memories, but through the gift of organ donation. He had talked about wanting to switch it over on his license with my sister and it is what he would want. He would want to help people live if he could, because just like our little sister and his aunt, he was one of the most selfless people we knew.

https://www.gofundme.com/damndoyle The money raised will be used to cover his burial expenses and any other expenses needed to help my sister and her family out in this time of need.

The funds will be needed asap

This means so much to us because it will be one less thing my sister and her family will have to worry about, when they already have to bury their second oldest son.

We will be forever grateful with however much you can contribute. Anything will help and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
