Steiner, Doyle L.

Doyle L. Steiner, 86, formerly of Wadsworth, passed away on June 5, 2020, surrounded by his loving wife and family at the Apostolic Christian Home after several years of declining health.

He was born March 5, 1934, in Dalton, to Dennis and Elva (Rafeld) Steiner and graduated from Orrville High School in 1952. He married Karen Berkey on September 11, 1954 in Smithville.

Doyle enjoyed woodworking, designing and building the home in which he raised his family, working outdoors, and his many friendships with business clients. He had a special fondness for Siesta Key, FL, and treasured many sunsets and walks along the beach. His faith and trust in God and love of family were very important to him and leave a legacy that will be remembered by those who knew him.
