Submitted by Bill Norvell 1965 <w.norvell@att.net>
on 01/Apr/2024 Karl E. Doderer was born and raised
in the Town of Newburgh and entered into rest suddenly on
Friday March 29, 2024. He was 49 years old. Son of Eleanor
(Flanagan) Doderer and the late Carl H. Doderer he was born
November 29, 1974 in Newburgh, NY. Karl was a Senior
Maintenance worker with the Water Department for the Town of
Newburgh and a tattoo artist at Millennium Tattoo for more
than 20 years. He was a hard working and dedicated family
man, his girls being the light of his life. From flying
kites to building Legos, he always made time for them. An
artist of many mediums and an avid collector of vintage
toys, he enjoyed spending time at flea markets crafting
relationships with the vendors who greeted him as an old
friend…often holding aside the best pieces or ones they
knew he needed to complete a series to give him first dibs.
He loved the outdoors and went camping several times a year
with his fishing gear and kayak in tow. He was proud of his
garden, growing tomatoes, cucumbers, and peas to share with
family and friends. Karl was also passionate about animals,
especially his "dumpster kitties", having rescued many
through the years. He leaves behind two at home, Mimzy and
Shmoo as well as the dog he swore he'd never get but
begrudgingly held great affection for, our corgi Bo. Having
a large social network, Karl was loved by many and will be
missed by all.
