James Doyle
James Edward Doyle, 60, a longtime coach and 33-year resident of Anne Arundel County, died July 13 at his home in Arnold after a lengthy illness.
Mr. Doyle was born Jan. 15, 1946, in Washington, D.C., and was the son of the late Mary and Frank Doyle. He attended Prince George's County schools and spent two years in the Marine Corps, receiving an honorable discharge in 1972.
He was a self-employed carpet subcontractor in Prince George's and Anne Arundel counties for 25 years and a coach at Severn School in Severna Park. His passion was sports, especially football and basketball, and his coaching career spanned 40 years, culminating in 20 years of service to the young men of Severn School.
During that time, he served as head football and head basketball coach, winning the Maryland Scholastic Association Championship in 1993. The football team was also conference champion in 2001, 2002 and 2003.
Mr. Doyle was especially proud of the fact that he was named to the Severn Athletic Hall of Fame in 1995 and that the gymnasium scoreboard was named in his honor. He was the consummate coach, never losing sight of the many "life lessons" that are learned on the field and on the court. He earned the respect and love of his players, many of whom continued to keep in touch through the years after graduation, his family said.
In addition to coaching and his family, his other passions were fishing, crabbing and reading. He also enjoyed playing cribbage and spending time with close friends.
Mr. Doyle is survived by his former wife, Jane Beckett-Donohue of Queenstown; one son, Adam W. Heinze of Annapolis; two daughters, Heather Ravanbakhsh of Grasonville and Lisa Dring of Pasadena; three grandchildren; and several brothers and sisters.
Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday at Barranco and Sons Severna Park Funeral Home, 495 Ritchie Highway, where a memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday. Burial will be private.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, 10920 Connecticut Ave., Suite 1600, Kensington, MD 20895.
