A Note from Friends of Michael Doherty in Alpha Tau Omega
“After a weekend trip, Mike and I were packing up his car to head back to Duke, and I noticed that he was smiling. I found his unexpected expression odd, so I asked him what he was smiling about. ‘Nothing’ he replied, with a hands-in-pocket shrug, and proceeded to smile even more.” – Jerry Li
If there were ever a moment that summed up who Mike was, it was this.
Michael Doherty always had the most heartwarming smile on his face, and his effortless brilliance and compassion brightened the day of every person he talked to. Every single one of his friends can probably recount a similar experience where Mike’s ever-present optimism would be there to cheer them up. As a mechanical engineer and the incoming president of the club hockey team, Mike was not only able to balance academics and athletics, but he excelled in both.
From diligently leading a group through late night problem set sessions in the common room, to scoring the game-tying goal in the UNC game, Mike was truly special. Nevertheless, Mike still always found time to be with his friends, and his never-ending joy continues to serve as an incredible example that we all strive to achieve.
Of all of Mike’s gifts, what made him so extraordinary was his genuine kindness, care, and optimism – traits that he generously shared in everything he did and that so strongly impacted the lives of all who knew him. Mike’s radiant, smiling face and contagious laugh will be with us always.
Rest in Peace Doh Boy, we’re all so much better for having known you.
