John F. Boyle, Jr. passed away on Monday, July 20, 2020. John was born in Chicago, Illinois, and raised in Fort Worth, Texas. He graduated from Texas Christian University in 1958 and the University of Texas School of Law in 1961. Throughout his almost sixty years of practicing law, John represented cities and other governmental entities as both general and bond counsel, including the Cities of Grapevine and Hurst. John was a Member of the Texas House of Representatives from Dallas County from 1971-1973.
Prior to establishing Boyle & Lowry, John was a founding partner in 1975 of Hutchison, Boyle, Brooks, and Fisher which handled all aspects of municipal and local government law and public finance. In 1995 he formed the law firm of Boyle & Lowry, L.L.P. with his partner Stan Lowry aided by Kitty his amazing wife who stood by his side and managed the office for its first twenty-five years. John thoroughly enjoyed the practice of law and felt blessed to work with his clients who he considered as close to family as you could have. John was continually amazed that he was able to do what he loved while working hard for such wonderful people. John was well respected and maintained an active law practice almost until the end of his life. John's tireless civic involvement included the City and school district, and most certainly coffee shop counsel on issues of the day.
Dear to his heart was his dedication to the Salvation Army which he served from 1989 to present, Rotary Club, 1966 to Present, Serra International, 1985 – Present, Texas Historical Foundation, 2002 to Present.
John passed away Monday evening and Irving lost another icon who participated, worked hard, and assisted in the growth of the City where he raised his family of six children.
He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Marion “Kitty” Boyle, brother Mickey and his family of Las Vegas, his children, his ten grandchildren and his very special daughter in laws Sandra and Dori.
There will be no services or funeral at this time.
