What I Checked

What I Checked

• I reviewed multiple obituaries published on local Kauai platforms—such as The Garden Island and Kauai County obituaries—but found no matching entries for Michael Doctolero or someone by that name around the reported date The Garden IslandKaumakani.

• Broader obituary databases and funeral home listings for Hawaii (e.g. Dodo Mortuary in Hilo, HawaiiObituaries.com) also did not include any mention of Michael “Mika” Doctolero Dodo MortuaryLegacy.com.

What This Means

At this time, there is no publicly verifiable evidence supporting the claim that Michael “Mika” Doctolero passed away on August 7, 2025. That said, it’s possible the information is very recent, pending certification, or yet to be published through traditional obituary sources.

Suggested Next Steps

If you’d like to continue confirming this respectfully, here are some practical options:

1. Check with local funeral homes on Kauai—particularly in the area where Mika lived—for any notices or upcoming arrangements.

2. Monitor local newspapers or community announcements, such as The Garden Island or Kaua‘i Community online listings.

3. Look for or share the fundraiser link—it may include details or a verification page, often created by family or friends.

4. Reach out through mutual connections—sometimes close friends or community groups share memorial or condolence information outside formal obituaries.
