Family and friends remember William Doyle as a quiet and steady presence whose life was shaped by loyalty, family and enduring ties to home. Originally from Grange in Curraghboy, Roscommon, and later settled in Hillview, Waterford City, William remained deeply connected to both places and the people who formed his world. He was a devoted husband to Imelda and a proud father to Jennifer and Elizabeth, finding his greatest fulfilment in the closeness of family life. Predeceased by his parents Anthony and Nan and his brother Tony, William held strong bonds with his brothers Noel, George and P.J., and his sister Mary, valuing family not as a sentiment but as a constant foundation throughout his life.

Those who knew William will remember a man who lived without fuss and without pretence, someone who preferred quiet company and meaningful conversation to attention or display. He leaves behind not noise, but steadiness; not grand gestures, but consistency and care. In the love of his wife and daughters, in the memories shared by his siblings and extended family, and in the communities that shaped him from Roscommon to Waterford, William’s life is honoured for its simplicity, dignity and faithfulness. May he rest in eternal peace.

Late of Hawthorn Drive, Hillview, Waterford City. Formerly of Grange, Curraghboy, Co. Roscommon. William passed peacefully on Friday the 20th of February 2026. RIP.
