IN MEMORY OF
CRAIG DOKA
Born on June 9 1990, Craig Doka was a happy child who grew into a remarkable young man. Passionate, motivated and caring, he always saw the glass “half full” and was a true worker for any cause he deemed worthy, while also never hesitating to enjoy life to the fullest. Family and friends were at the center of everything he did. He was an entrepreneur who started Status Vapes, LLC with his brother Ryan, in Morristown, New Jersey.
His true passion was food, which led him to open his own catering business with his fiancee, Amanda. Together, they traveled throughout New Jersey for various events. Recently, they flew to the Amalfi Coast in Italy where he proposed to her in a well planned, romantic setting. The rooftop dinner overlooked the Torre Normanna Sea. They ate their way from Sorrento to Rome. His hobbies included hunting, and fishing with his father and friends, baking and sharing recipes with his mother, and four wheeling with his brother. He and Amanda also enjoyed traveling to various destinations around the country to sample new restaurants. Combining one of his personal interests with his loving personality, one of Craig’s proudest moments was having the opportunity to cook for Veterans of the United State Military.
A man of many talents, he recently turned his focus to another joint venture with his brother, Exotic Sweets. Still as hard working as ever, his vibrant Personality became an invaluable asset in this endeavor. He embraced social media and became a popular, well- followed spokesman for their new company. Successful businesses aside, Craig’s true gift was his ability to light up a room with his presence. His warm heart, infectious smile, and generous spirit what set him apart and made him truly unique, the essence of the great memories and gifts that will remain in our hearts forever.
Share a Memory
Don’t remember me with sadness. Don’t remember me with tears. Just remember all the laughter, we’ve shared throughout the years.
Now I am contented, that my life it was worthwhile. Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
When you are walking down the street, and you’ve got me on your mind, I’m walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind.
So please don’t be unhappy, just because I’m out of sight. Remember that I’m with you, each morning, noon and night.
TRIBUTES
One of my very first friends in Jefferson, the incredible Craig Doka. I have a feeling that I will remember today for a very long time. The world already has a Charlie-sized hole that can never be filled.
Shocked is an understatement. It doesn’t seem real. It can’t be. Not our Charlie! This world will never be the same without you buddy
Feels like yesterday we were all hanging out going to prom as young kids creating great memories!!! Heaven has gained one great angel
Just can’t believe it. All the passing glances. Ladies are heartbroken for Amanda.
