Brian P. Doyle

Brian P. Doyle, 56, of Manchester, died November 1, 2026 after a period of declining health.

Born in Manchester on April 3, 1970, he was the son of James K. and Dorothy J. (Roche) Doyle. He graduated from Trinity High School in 1988 and earned a BA in history from UNH in 1992.

Brian spent the majority of his career as a professional golfer and golf course manager, carrying the PGA professional title for over 28 years. He took pride in his work and was loved by both patrons and staff.  More recently, he had worked as a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service, where he quickly formed friendships and earned the respect of his colleagues through his quick wit, intelligence, and strong work ethic.

He enjoyed running, sports, music, and anything that included spending time with his four children. He found endless joy in coaching countless basketball, baseball, and soccer teams for each of his children throughout the years. Brian loved long distance running, and he completed the Manchester Marathon several times, as well as the Boston Marathon. One of his favorite recent pastimes was walking “the lads”, his two golden retrievers, Rory and Dougall.

Brian was known by all who knew him as remarkably kind, wildly funny, caring, intelligent, honest, and tirelessly hard working. He gave everything to the people he loved and kept nothing for himself.

Family members include his daughter, Allison Brambila, her husband Cristo Brambila and their daughter Iris, his son Liam Doyle, his daughter Brigid Doyle, and his son Aidan Doyle. His brother Eamonn and his wife Tina, his sister Doreen Gifford and her husband Bret, his brother Kevin and his partner Lisa Cassidy, his sister Deirdre, and countless nieces and nephews whom he loved very dearly.

There are no funeral services currently planned. A celebration of Brian’s life will be announced at a later date.
