He is Survived by his wife of 62 years, Esperanza P. Valdez; his daughters, Delia Jimenez (Steve), Diana Mendez (Fred), Debra Settles (Richard), and Donna Valdez. His grandchildren Steven Jimenez (Sandy), Daniel Jimenez (Lauren), Anthony Pena (Crystal), Adam Mendez (Marie), Amber Whiteside (Johnny), Megan Gutierrez (Jon) Ricky Settles as well as twelve Great Grandchildren.

Domingo was born and raised in Marion, Texas and a lifelong resident of Kirby, Texas. In his early years, he was in the U.S. Army. He worked on various jobs and finally retiring after 32 years as a truck driver with Merchants Fast Motor Lines.

He had an extreme love for his pets throughout his life. He adopted a Dachshund appropriately named Dasher. It was not unusual for his neighbors to see Domingo running down Kirby Drive chasing after Dasher, and many of them joined in to help him bring Dasher home.

Domingo was very active in the lives of his Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren, attending Little League games, school plays and BBQ cook-offs. He will be greatly missed by all.
