Patrick James Coyle

As a teenager, Patrick James Coyle worked on the grounds at the Bridgehampton Club and as a caddy at the Maidstone Club, and his love of golf only grew as he got older. A caddy master at the Naples National Golf Club in Florida and the Sand Ridge Golf Club in Cleveland, he had a Professional Golfers Association pro card.

Mr. Coyle, who was 42, died on June 20 in Cleveland. The cause of death has not yet been determined, his family said.

Mr. Coyle, who had recently relocated to Ohio, was born in Southampton on April 11, 1975, to John William Coyle and the former Jeraldine Lynch. He grew up on Cooper Lane in East Hampton and graduated from East Hampton High School, where he played golf and baseball. “He loved the beach and anything and everything to do with East Hampton,” his family wrote.

“He was always happy, loving, and helping, a very kind soul,” they said. He had two children, Caitlin, 13, and Liam, 5, with his ex-wife, Carrie Goett, and he loved them dearly, his family said. They live in Naples. In addition to his children, he is survived by two sisters, Christina Coyle Bertrand of East Hampton and Karin Beaver Julin of Oklahoma, a brother, John W. Coyle III of East Hampton, and many cousins, nieces, and nephews. His parents and another sister, Theresa Coyle, died before him.

A service will be held on Wednesday at 11 a.m. at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton. The Rev. William Cleary, Mr. Coyle’s cousin, will officiate. Burial will be at the church cemetery on Cedar Street.
