Que en el cielo y en la tierra, acomode su bella alma en paz, en gloria y silencio, con esas bellas memorias que viviran por una eternidad en nuestros corazones, descansa, ya descansa,. 

Mi Joha linda

No tengo palabras , con todo mi corazón te digo que lo lamento muchísimo , estoy contigo y tu familia de corazón desde aquí. Sabes que eres muy especial para mi y para mis niños 

Aquí estoy siempre  si en algo puedo ayudar  así sea con una palabra

Tu hijito, un angelito mas en el cielo 

Te quiero mucho .

My Dear Derick my heart has been broken since I learned of your passing.  I am still mourning the loss of your Father and now you.  You were too young and all I can do now is pray and hope that God has great plans for you.
I remember the first time I met you in Boston you were 1 and what a cutie you were, you were fast and mischievous but the real fun started when you were 2 years old and you and your parents moved to VA and lived with us for a bit.  There was never a dull moment with you in the house it was constant laughter because we always were entertained by you, we had so many good memories, from the lawn mower, the vicks, the chocolate hand, you always opening the house door and running just to mention a few.    You were so mischievous but at the same time so loving you had the biggest heart.  At times we did not know if your name was Derick or Pa Pao and then years later we all moved to FL.  I had the honor to watch you grow into the amazing son that any parents can ask for and the best brother to your younger brothers. Unfortunately when your Dad got sick you had to grow up a lot faster to help but you never ever complained you were your mother and Fathers rock.  You loved your brothers and your parents so much.  I was always at awe of what a great man you had grown to be, and always so humble.  We were so proud of you when you decided to join the Military and even when we talked I know you knew how much we loved you and how proud we were of you.  
The great memories of you are endless and they will forever remain in my heart.  You are greatly missed and loved by all.  May you rest in peace.

Derick was my cousin and he will always be. He was a kind and honorable gentleman, who loved his family dearly. And even-though he’s no longer with us, I know he’s next to God watching over us. 

“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41:10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Dear Derrick I remember I think it was in Orlando I was 9 maybe 10.  We played call of duty nobody could ever beat you. I miss you so much and wish you were still here with us, Rest in peace and maybe we all might see you someday. The last time I saw you it was your birthday and I never got a picture with you because I recently got this phone. So sad to see you gone so early .❤

My dearest Derrick,
Oh Young Man you will be missed. It's hard to believe you are not here with us. I still remember the moment I met you. Just a little kid full of boundless energy and funny. Always trying to karate chop or kick me in your house in Va. Years later who would've thought that that little guy would be towering over me one day and get his black belt in martial arts. As time went on you were becoming a young man and had to make decisions of where you wanted to do after HS. I remember talking with you about schools and different careers but you mentioned the medical field was your thing not the tech field like your dad.  I was very impressed with your choice and what  you wanted to do. I told you no matter what you do your Dad and Mom would be proud of you. As time went on you choose to join the U.S. Air Force and followed in your Family's Military Service. 
Very proud of you are your entire family. I will surely miss you my little not so little karate Kid.
I know you are hanging with your Old Man, so give him a hug for me. And till we meet again.
Love you Uri 
  

My dear Derick words cannot express how much you are going to be missed. I’m so honored to be your Tia! ❤️ We are all so proud of you  and of the man you became and all your accomplishments here on earth! Now that you are in heaven alongside your amazing father I know you will continue to make us proud, protecting the family especially your mom, Christopher and Michael! Fly high Airman Derick William Dominguez. Until we meet again! ❤️🙏🏽 
Here is the last photo I have with you! I will forever cherish! I love you! 

Derick “my niño chiquitico” that is the nick name I had for you and you use to give me the most beautiful smile every time I called you my niño chiquitico. Even though you are a grown man, to me you had the purest innocence in your heart.  I will always cherish the moments we spent together forever. It brings me comfort that you are with your dad now and that we will meet again. Thank you for giving the privilege of been your Tia Karin. And for you dad mi hermano, mi mejor amigo, mi compañero de juegos, mi defensor, mi consejero me hacen mucha falta los dos y los mantendre vivos en mi corazon. 

Jamás me imaginé que a una edad tan temprana dejarías este mundo y que sería tan difícil aceptarlo y que mi hermana, tus hermanos y todos nosotros tu familia tendríamos que despedirnos de ti. Mi querido sobrino aunque por cosas de la vida nuestra relación haya sido ligera eso no me impidió quererles y tenerles siempre en mis oraciones, sé que serás un ángel, siempre mantendré la esperanza de verte otra vez. 
Nunca será fácil decir el último adiós y más si fuiste una persona tan valiosa en la vida de tu familia en especial tu madre y hermanos. La partida nunca será un evento común y corriente pero Dios nos da el consuelo y la esperanza. Fuiste una excelente persona en vida, siempre ejemplar en todo lo que hiciste y orgullo para tus padres y un héroe para tus hermanos y toda tu familia y amigos, eso nos dejas como legado. 
Tú que en esta tierra fuiste amor bondad y dulzura descansa en paz al lado del PapaDios y tu padre. ♥️🙏

Tu recuerdo vivirá en nuestro corazón siempre. 
Con amor 
Tu tía Cesarina Fermin-LLeras y Diosmari Fermin 

Querida Joha
Se que no hay consuelo cuando se trata de la pérdida de un hijo, pero ahora tienes un Ángel en el cielo de Dios que te acompañará por siempre. No me atrevo a decir que entiendo tu dolor, pero mis oraciones están contigo y mis sobrinos en este momento tan triste, para ofrecerles todo mi consuelo, mi afecto y mi amor de hermana, y tía, estoy segura que Dios tiene un lugar muy especial para él junto a su padre. ♥️🙏 

I never imagined that at such a young age you would leave this world and that it would be so difficult to accept it and that my sister, your brothers and all of us your family would have to say goodbye to you. My dear nephew, although because of things in life our relationship has been light, that did not prevent me from loving you and always having you in my prayers, I know that you are now an angel, and I will always hope to see you again.
It will never be easy to say the last goodbye and more if you were such a valuable person in the life of your family, especially your mother and brothers. The departure will never be an ordinary event but God gives us comfort and hope knowing you are with him. You were an excellent person in life, always exemplary in everything you did and the pride you had for your parents, you are a hero for your brothers and all your family and friends, you leave us with a great legacy. 
You who on this earth were love, kindness and sweetness, rest in peace next to the God and your father.
Your memory will live in our hearts forever.♥️🙏
With love
Your aunt Cesarina Fermin-LLeras y Diosmari Fermin

Dear joha
I know there is no consolation when it comes to the loss of a child, but just know you now have an Angel in God's heaven that will accompany you forever. I will not dare to say that I understand your pain, but my prayers are with you and my nephews in this sad moment. I’m offering you all my comfort, my affection and my sisterly love, and as an aunt. I am sure that God has a very special place for him with his father. ♥️🙏

One of my favorite memories is when it was black friday 2019. A few of us were hanging out trying to find deals on nintendo switch controllers. We went to Gamestop, and me and our friend Vance bought two regular colored ones. Dominguez had to buy the princess peach bright pink controller because that was the last one they had in stock. We laughed hard about it but he was determined we could all play together. Thats the only reason why he bought it. Later on he gave that controller to me. Now thats the only controller ill ever play with.

I am going to use this message to talk about all of the fun and positive memories I had with Derick.

I remember when I was 6-12 years old maybe, we went to go visit Orlando. Something I have remembered for all these years is when we were playing Mario Kart. He told me if I held B I could get a head start in the race. So i held B. Turns out it was the reverse button. Thanks Derick! Also I made a comment, doubting his karate/fighting skills, so he pinned me down against the floor and I could not get up no matter how hard I tried. I never made a comment about his fighting skills ever again.

I also remember more recently, visiting for Christmas 2017. We had the whole family down there and had a great time. I remember my sister, Derick, and I, all watched movies (had a “Saw” Marathon), played on the playstation, and ate good food. When everybody in the house was planning to go the pool, I remember everybody getting on Dericks ass for not wanting to go.

More recently, I remember when Derick came down to visit Cape Coral for the first time in a while. When he saw me I remember he made a comment about my beard. Something along the lines of “I see the beard, but it could use a little work.” It’s grew in a lot more since, I promise LOL. But in all seriousness, Derick, Daniela, and I, had a great time getting together again. We went to Dave and Busters and played some fun games, ate some food, and even went to get donuts afterwards. I remember being weary of the prices of everything at Dave and Busters, and Derick acting like “it’s not a big deal” and swiping his card so we can all have a good time. 

All in all, Derick was always a responsible and caring cousin of mine. He was always clever, witty, and sarcastic with his words which also reflected how thoughtful he was. He was trusted to look over the younger kids, and always did a great job. Although he is not with us any longer, there is no doubt that Derick will continue to live on in all of our memories.

Derick,  primero que nada no se como llamarte, primo, sobrino o amigo, es una mezcla de todo.  Solo quiero expresar el dolor que me a causado  tu partida.  Desde el día que tu padre falleció tu siempre estuviste en mi mente apesar de la distancia y nuestro destino.   Me siento fatal por el hecho de que no tuve una relación más cercana contigo, ya que mi mejor amigo, era y sigue siendo tu padre, Vlady.  Toda esta mezcla de sentimientos y dolor me viene porque tu papi mientras agonizaba no me dejó de hablar de ti en especial del amor que te tenía y las diferencias que habían y lo orgulloso que estaba sobre quien iba a dejar en su puesto.  Que fuerte todo esto, solo se que tu eres un ángel 👼 y Dios que te tenga en un buen lugar junto a mi querido amigo.  Los quiero!!!  RIP

Y a quien lea esto familia los amo en vida 💛 No nos alejemos tanto.  Yohana, Vivían y familia le acompaño mis sentimientos.   🙏🙏🙏

Soo... words can’t express what I am feeling, Im torn apart hurt and sad to see you gone!! You still had so much life to see but know you can see it together with my partner in crime your Dad from up above.

 I hope we make you pride as you did to me and the family. I still to this day have the first picture of you from school when you were just a baby don’t be mad at me for posting it, but you wouldn’t realize how important that picture was to me and still is. 
The memories we made together in Virginia every year I realized I wanted to be more to be closer to you , I will never forget the time I would get so annoyed when you would come try to sneak up on me in the room when I was learning  about computers and everything your dad taught me gosh how I wanted to lock you in the room but with love of course lol

 so please everyone who see this don’t forget It’s amazing how they say you never know what you had until it’s gone now I  truly understand that.

 But Derek I always knew you were amazing at everything in life. The truth is I envy you because of all the talent you have. You seen me in places and had conversations with me that I will always remember. 
You were a son to me Derek William Dominguez and always will be I won’t forget when you were a baby you would only want me to carry you everyone else in the family you would cry, I think that’s why we had such a close connection that I will truly hold and cherish in my heart. I still can’t believe your not here today!!!  
I love you big boy!!!! You were my first!!

Since the whole pandemic started we got told we couldnt go to the bars for a while. Well one weekend it got lifted and I saw it as an opportunity to have some fun. So Dominguez and I, along with a few other close friends went to the Spur and we went crazy! I remember saying we HAVE to get messed up tonight and was trying to get everyone to drink and have a good time since we had a DD. Well halfway through the night I remember Dominguez asking what would be a good shot. I told him Tequila (not thinking he would get it) and next thing I know he was buying rounds and rounds of the stuff for everyone. Ill never forget how much fun we all had together that night. You were such a fun, funny and sweet guy. You are truly missed. 

You were the first nephew of many. You relished in the opportunity to create chaos, make problems, and have fun.

Then you grew up...

Perhaps faster and sooner than you or anyone else wanted to. The laughs and spankings of a child soon turned into deep bellows of chuckles along with an you understanding what it takes to be a man. The best way to know you was through your two loving parents who were humbled by your very existence. You shined bright showcasing both of their personalities for better and for worse (add an LoL to that because they’re both fools 😂). 

I know how hard life can be and you wore it well, made us all proud.

Thank you for everything and I’ll see you and your pops soon! 

Love Niko

PS here’s the latest photo of you and I. 
Good times with the tios!

My sweet and kind young man!  Life for everyone wil never be the same.  You were the first grandchild in our family. I remember before I knew my sister was pregnant with you she would have cravings. In the middle of the night she would have me make her ramen noodle soup. I said to her why don't you go make it yourself and she would always convince me some how. In the end it was only because if Papa and Mama saw her eating at 1 in the morning they would realize she was pregnant. When you were young you had so much energy! I don't know how my sister kept up with you. Lol! You grew up to be the most respectful,  responsible and sweet young man.  You helped your mom so much with the boys, taking the garbage without being asked,  cleaning (because you were a clean freak) lol and just so many things I would watch you do. The last memory I had was when we went to celebrate your 21 birthday.  We were waiting for taco's at one  in the morning. Diana & I sat next to you trying to see if "happy" Derick would tell us about any girlfriend he had in Alaska. We laughed so much and had the best time. Thank you for letting me be your Aunt. I love you so much please give your Dad a big hug from us. We miss him tremendously. I hope you both get to eat the yummiest pizza and food in heaven together. Watch over us especially your mom and the boys. Until we meet again my boy.

Domingez dd’d for us a few times before he turned 21 and I remember this one time, it was Halloween and we had gone to the spur(one of the only good bars in fairbanks) he came to get us and when i got in the passenger seat I realized he hadnt dressed up, i said “wears your costume mister?” And he said “ahh yeah, i didnt dress up” so after a little convincing i got him to wear my weird curly demon horns, they were pretty big horns and becuase Domingez shaved his head you could see the head band with it and it was just super goofy, anyways we’re  all talking and laughing and all of a sudden we see red and blue lights in the center mirror, we’re like uh oh. I turned to Domingez and told him to take off the horns and he was like “ no no. I’ll keep them on.” This goofy guy talked to the cop with these big ol horns bouncing everytime he turned his head, god it was so funny. The cop had pulled him over because  he was too close to the car in front of us and it was icy out, he was let off with a warning so nothing bad happened. But ill never forget his silly grin while wearing those horns.

I will never forget all the times I would come to your room just to be noisy & lay on your bed with tio  and talk about school and joke about all the ladies you had lined up waiting for you... or the times I picked you up from middle school blasting music just because I knew it would make you smile of embarrassment ofcourse! Iam and will forever be proud of you 
Airman D. Dominguez you are loved and missed by many and will forever remain in my heart! 
I love you always my shy guy, fly high my love. 


I remember when He was a child and every morning he would  always wake up with such enthusiasm  screaming “it’s morning ,it’s morning!!” Even when I had nothing to do, it gave me something to look forward to. I wish that I could had been involved more in his life; but one thing I learned from this young man is to find your happiness wherever you can. RIP  Derick Domínguez. I already miss you kid; tell your father i said hello.
