Thomas (Tommy) James Boyle

November 2, 1969 – September 2, 2024

Thomas (Tommy) James Boyle, 54, of Iola, Wisconsin, went to be with his loving Savior on Sept. 2, 2024, at ThedaCare Appleton with his family and close friends by his side.

Tommy was born on Nov. 2, 1969, at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Appleton, Wisconsin, to Thomas Boyle and Carol (Olson) Boyle.

He graduated from Iola-Scandinavia High School in 1988.

Tommy married Heather (Shanklin) Boyle on Aug. 11, 1990, in Iola 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.

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, Wisconsin, 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, sisters-in-law 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.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, James and Iola Olson, Del and Dolly Boyle.

The Funeral Service for Tommy will be held on Saturday, Sept. 7 at 11 a.m. at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church of Iola with Rev. Dennis Olson officiating. Visitation will be held at Voie Funeral Home in Iola from 3-8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 6, and at the church on Saturday from 9 -10:45 a.m.  Please wear your favorite golf shirt or attire to honor Tom.

The family would like to thank the amazing staff at ThedaCare-Appleton for their loving care of Tommy in his last days. They would also like to thank Iola EMS, Gold Cross, and Waupaca Sherriff’s Department.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the family.
