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.
