Dennis Vincent Coyle

Dennis Vincent Coyle, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on June 12, 2026, in Tempe, Arizona, surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with heart failure. He was 80 years old.

Born on January 20, 1946, in Queens, New York, Dennis was the beloved son of the late James Aloysius Coyle and Florence Mary (Collinson) Coyle. He was preceded in death by his brother, James Coyle, and his sister Rosemary Coyle.

Dennis leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion. He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Joanne Marie (Dillon) Coyle; his daughter, Cheryl Lynn (Coyle) Rosheim, and son-in-law Edward Rosheim of Woodbury, Minnesota; and his cherished grandchildren, Michael Edward Rosheim and Natalie Elise Rosheim, who brought him immense pride and joy. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Dennis grew up on Long Island in Amityville, New York and Hollywood, Florida. He graduated from Chaminade High School in Hollywood in 1964. In 1968, he married the love of his life, Joanne Dillon, in Revere, Massachusetts. Together, they built a life grounded in love, resilience, and shared adventure.

Dennis worked as a truck driver until his retirement in 2008, embracing the freedom of the open road and collecting stories and experiences that he generously shared with family and friends.

A man of deep curiosity, Dennis found immense joy in reading mystery novels, watching films, and exploring history. He also loved scenic drives through the mountains of Arizona; a place he proudly called home in his later years.

Known for his warm heart and generous spirit, Dennis never hesitated to lend a helping hand. His kindness, quiet strength, and willingness to support others left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

While his passing leaves a profound void, his spirit lives on through the memories he created and the love he shared so freely.
