Domanic was a shining star that illuminated our lives with his vibrant personality and immense love.  His curious nature and eagerness to learn constantly fueled his desire to explore the world around him.  Whether he was operating equipment or riding ATVs with his friends, or diving into new hobbies.  Domanic was a joy to be around.  He loved picking on his mom.  He was blessed with great friends, and love and loyalty were top priority.
