Dominic attended Anna High School in Texas and would have graduated this year. He was very close with his younger brother, J-Jay. Dominic was always there to protect him. He enjoyed watching football games and was a huge fan of the Miami Dolphins. Dominic liked investing in the stock markets and was interested in law enforcement to be a police officer. King Durag’s (Dominic) favorite color was purple because it was the color of royalty. A very important part of his life was all the family from both Texas and Roswell.

Dominic’s tribute was lovingly written by his mother, Jessica. A special “Thanks” to the family and friends of Texas and New Mexico that helped lay Dominic to rest. He’s in the sun, The wind the rain, He’s in the air you Breath with every breath you take He sings a song of hope and cheer, There’s no more pain, no more fear. You’ll see him in the clouds above, Hear him whisper words of love, You’ll be together before long, Until then, listen for his songs.
