Doyle Goodsell Keiser
September 29, 1936 – February 10, 2023

Doyle was born to Samuel and Asenith Keiser on September 29, 1936 in Logan, Utah. He grew up on Lowell Avenue in Salt Lake City and served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Swiss Austrian Mission. He and his wife Leah served together later in life in the Baltic’s mission and the Nauvoo Illinois mission where he showed his hidden talent for acting as he took part in the Rendezvous play.

He was introduced to his wife Leah by a cousin and hit it off right from the start. They spent two years writing while he served his mission and were engaged shortly after. He left to train for the National Guard at Fort Ord in California where they corresponded for another 6 months.

Doyle and Leah married May 5, 1960 in the Logan, Ut Temple. They enjoyed 62 years of marriage and raised a family of six girls. Laurie (Gary) Zellers, Kathryn (Denny) Andersen, Allison (Dick) Apedaile, Stacey (Kim) Dority, Janae (Rick) Wilson, and Amy (Eric) Nielsen. He had 28 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren.

Doyle graduated from Utah State University with a Degree in Industrial Engineering and worked in that field for many years. He always had a side job with his dad’s yard care service in the avenues. He was always learning and fixing things. He was intrigued with how things fit together mechanically.

Doyle didn’t hold back on helping his girls learn to mow lawns, fix appliances, and learn how to work hard. A favorite memory was the summer mowing lawns as a family at Arnolds Machinery followed by root beer floats at the Frost Top so they could go on a family vacation to Disneyland. He was always fixing things from curling irons to appliances for anyone that needed help. He thrived on serving others and he worked hard to provide for his family.

Doyle passed away at the University of Utah Hospital on February 10, 2023. The family wishes to thank the doctors and nurses that were so kind and helpful and made the transition to Heaven a peaceful experience for all.

Doyle’s desire was to have a family gathering with the internment in Trenton, Utah cemetery.
