Thomas (Tommy) James Boyle

Thomas (Tommy) James Boyle, 54, of Iola went to be with his loving Savior on September 2, 2024 at ThedaCare Appleton with his family and close friends by his side. Tommy was born on November 2, 1969 at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Appleton, Wisconsin to Thomas Boyle and Carol (Olson) Boyle. Tommy married Heather (Shanklin) Boyle on August 11, 1990 in Iola, Wisconsin at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church. After battling multiple health issues for many years, Tommy’s body was tired and he was ready to go home to be with Jesus. Tommy graduated from Iola-Scandinavia High School in 1988. He spent 33 years working for the Waupaca Foundry where he retired in July of 2023. Tommy was an all-around amazing athlete, but his true passion was golf. He won multiple club championships and golfed up until a few weeks before his passing. Even when he wasn’t physically able to golf, he had Heather drive him by the golf course to “check it out” and “check on” the conditions of the course. He also enjoyed fishing, especially at his special place in Rhinelander on Shepard Lake. He was a diehard Packers and Badgers fan and never missed a game. His greatest love was his friends and family. Tommy is survived by his wife Heather Boyle; children, Tyler (Joanna) Boyle, Bryant (Lanna) Boyle, Holly Boyle; grandchildren Teegan, Taytum, Natalie, Mallory, Brooks, and baby boy Boyle coming November 2024; parents Tom and Carol Boyle; father and mother-in-law, Judy (Karl) Driebel; sisters Patty (John) Lashua, Chris (Don) Aasen, Sister-in-laws Mandy (Lucas) Kriesel, Megan (Jenner) Driebel; Great grandmother-in-law, Ruby Shanklin; nieces and nephews, Jenna (Sean) Graham, Jake Baldwin, Taylor (Kale) Duchow, Isaac (Mandy) Lashua, Amanda (Kyle) Aasen, Kjersti (Tim) Aasen, Scotty Aasen, Mason and Landon Kriesel, Gracie Forseth and Beckett Gullixon. Great nieces and nephews Artie, Drew, and Annie Graham, Owen and Louis Duchow; Two great nieces due in October and January; fur baby Dolly.
