Mychal David Doering, 48

Mychal David Doering, 48, of Bloomington, went home to his Lord and savior on Oct. 23, 2026. Raised in Ellettsville, Mychal graduated from Edgewood High School (EHS), attended Manchester College on a football scholarship, and earned a Business degree from WGU.

A man of deep faith, compassion, and boundless love, Mychal spent his life serving God and mentoring youth. He coached Upward sports, EHS football, basketball, and track, and worked as a career coach at EHS and Owen Valley High School. His mantra was to always be "Thankful for the Day."

Above all, Mychal was a devoted family man. He is survived by his beloved wife, Sarah Nicoll Doering; children, Izaiah Christopher and Henry Edward; parents, Debbie Hubbard, and Jim Doering (wife Marti); brother, Mark (Michele) Patton; and many extended family, friends, and mentees.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Chuck and Marion Doering, Edward and Lillian Euers, Virgil and Martha Liebrandt; and brother, Matthew Allen Patton.

A celebration of life was held Oct. 31, 2026, at Zion Community Church of the Nazarene in Bloomington.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the family for medical expenses or to a cause dear to Mychal's heart.
