Hasting's Reminder - Saturday June 13, 2026

It is with profound sadness and deep love that we announce the passing of 
LEONARD "DOC" EARL DOCKTER, who passed away unexpectedly on June 6, 2026, at the 
age of 65.

Doc was born July 24, 1960, to Dale and Vivian (Watson) Dockter in Lansing, MI. 
He grew up in the Woodland MI area and graduated from Lakewood High School in 
1979. He worked for RiteWay Plumbing where he was a journeyman plumber for 35 
years.Doc enjoyed watching the Tigers, the Pistons and was a lifelong Lion's 
fan! He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, grilling, side-by-siding, deer rides with 
his beloved wife and spending time with family and friends.

Doc married his best friend and fellow classmate, Teresa Scott, in 2011. Teresa 
was the love of his life and their 15 year marriage was a profound testament to 
love, partnership, and shared adventures.

Doc is survived by his wife, Teresa; brothers, Lance (Kris) Dockter, Larry 
(Melissa) Dockter; sister, Linda Huhn; children, Bradley Janes, Emily (John) 
Borg, Erica Dockter (Eric), Aimee Dockter, Justin (Laura) Henney, Derrick

grandchildren,Cameron, Alivia, Adelyn, Johnny B, Harper, Eli, Treasure, Bella, 
Maizee, Emmie, Maverick, Rowan, Claira, and Matilee, who he deeply cherished.

Doc was preceded in death by his parents, Dale and Vivian, and infant daughter, 
Jennifer.

More than anything,Doc was a devoted husband, a loving father, and the best 
"Papa" there was. He showed unconditional love to his family and brought 
happiness to anyone around him with his contagious smile and deep laugh. He will 
be greatly missed and forever remembered.

At the family's request, there will be no service at this time. Cremation has 
taken place and a gathering to celebrate Doc's life will be announced at a later 
date.
