He was a generous soul with a huge smile and hearty laugh. Dominic was always the first to give anyone in need his last nickel. In life, he had many passions, one was participating on the Los Lunas High School Tiger football and baseball teams. Dominic was an avid Miami Dolphin fan since childhood, and proudly sported a Dolphin jersey.  

Another passion of his was getting up early and going duck hunting with cousins and friends. Dominic’s dream was to bag the infamous “Woody,” which after many years of trying, was finally accomplished. That was a proud day in his life. Lastly was vacationing in Las Vegas with his brothers.  

Dominic’s final days were spent surrounded by his loving family and friends.  

Pallbearers will be his two brothers, Derrick and Jeremy; nephews, Bentley Garley, Nolan Chopito, Nathan Romero, Justin Hardesty, Joshua Vaisa, Jacob Lovato and Benji Miranda. Honorary pallbearer will be AJ Garley.  

Our family would like to thank everyone for the love, prayers and support shown to our family.
