Justin Grant Dominguez, 32, of Galloway, went to be with the Lord on November 24, 2015. Born on August 22, 1983 to Hector Armando Vazquez-Dominguez and LaVonne Marie Bardell, Justin loved his family and being an uncle to his nieces and nephew. Justin is survived by his father, Armando; mother, LaVonne (Eric); siblings, Arthur (Alyson) Vazquez, Felicia (Jeremiah) Young, and Jason (Raven) Dominguez.

Justin was always great with people. At the age of five, he collected some rocks in the field next to his house, put them in a red wagon, and pulled them door to door in the neighborhood. Unbelievably, a lot of people bought those rocks. With several dollars in his hands, he plotted his next idea which was cut short after people told his parents that Justin was going to each house trying to sell his clothes. Undiscouraged, his drive to make money would earn him the nickname “El Niño Verde”, which means “The Little Green Boy”.

Justin loved animals. In his eyes, animals were the innocent creatures that love us for who we are. Amongst these creatures were his cockatiel, Shelby, and Boston Terrier, Cha-Cho Camacho Dominguez. Shelby and Chaco had a love/hate relationship. She would peck at him, he would run from her. Crazy enough, when Cha-Cho would bark at Shelby, the bird would usually bark back. Kind of like Justin, they may not have always made sense, but they were really entertaining to watch.

Justin enjoyed being an uncle. He always wanted a family of his own. Whether playing hide-and-go-seek or movie night with the munchkins, Justin loved making his nieces and nephew laugh. In many ways he was such a big kid himself. Being held in his giant hands and loved by his even greater heart, Justin’s love for his family kept him fighting until the end.

We love you, Justin. You are in our hearts forever.
