Obituary for Doyle A. King
With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Doyle A. King, 92, of Lodi, California, who died peacefully on November 15, 2025. In the days leading up to his passing, he was surrounded by the love and comfort of his family and friends. Doyle was born in Arkansas on July 20, 1933, to Wes and Ellen King.
At age 18, Doyle began his professional journey by enlisting in the United States Air Force. Throughout his life, he devoted himself to service and hard work, taking on roles as a firefighter and a building contractor before embarking on a successful, more than 30-year career as a real estate broker. He specialized in ranch properties and home sales throughout San Joaquin County, earning the respect and trust of the community he served.
A proud resident of Lodi for 65 years, Doyle embraced a life filled with the outdoors and family. He cherished hunting trips with his sons, horseback riding, camping, and time spent at the ranch, where countless gatherings, BBQs, and campouts created treasured memories for his large extended family.
Doyle is survived by his daughter, Beverly, his grandchildren Stephanie (Sam) and Christopher (Jayle), and his great-grandchildren Samirah and Jax.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Wes and Ellen, his beloved wife Yvonne, his two sons Verdell and Shane, and his brothers Bill and Neil.
