Doyle Robert May was born on June 3, 1962 in Houston, Texas. He grew up in Beeville, Texas and graduated from A.C. Jones High School in 1982. Doyle lived in independent living quarters with River Gardens in New Braunfels, Texas for many years. Most recently, he was a resident of the Live Oak Nursing Center in George West, Texas. Doyle never let his Down Syndrome keep him from participating in life. One of Doyle’s many accomplishments was being the first special education student to integrate into the classroom at Beeville ISD. He received the A.C. Jones High School Trojan Sprit award. Doyle is proudly a member of the A.C. Jones Hall of Fame for his participation in the 1982 Trojan Championship Football Team as a Team Manager. Doyle worked as a bus boy for several businesses including the Pizza Inn in Beeville, Texas, Beeville First United Methodist Church and a retirement home in New Braunfels, Texas. Doyle loved music, dancing, food and movies, especially comedies. He loved his family and friends very much and fully.
