William Coyle

At age 55, Bill Coyle learned he was one of the estimated 200,000 people in the U.S. with younger-onset Alzheimer's disease, randomly striking people before age 65. Bill died Tuesday, November 24, 2015 at age 63.

It was a mark of his true character that he could receive a diagnosis as devastating as this and make the best of it. His loving wife Deb cared for him at home before relocating to Columbus, OH to be nearer to Bill’s family. Later, as a resident of Sunrise on the Scioto, Bill continued to find humor and express compassion for other residents and his caregivers.
William E. Coyle (Bill) of Hilliard, OH, was born in Toledo, OH, son of Edward and Marjorie (Doyle) Coyle. He was educated at Sandusky High School and received a B.A. from Bowling Green University and an M.S. from the University of Arkansas.
Bill worked in manufacturing throughout his career, most recently as a logistics manager for L’Oréal USA. He served on the board of APICS and taught certification classes.
Much of his free time was spent volunteering for a variety of organizations that serve the needy in the community. He also loved volunteering for public radio fund drives. He made a difference in the lives of so many.
He leaves behind his wife of 36 years Deb, his mother Marjorie Coyle, brother Thomas (Karen) Coyle, sister Suzanne (Dan) Helmick, niece Megan (Jeremy) Coyle Morrow, and nephew Ryan Coyle, great-nephew Jameson Morrow. He is also survived by his in-laws, Mary Beth Wishmeyer, Melanie Fleming and Debbie Shell.
