" There the sun is always shining.  There no tear shall dim the eye.
At the setting of the rainbow.  Where the mountains touch the sky."

 It is most difficult to say "Goodbye" to a loved one; however, he is wrapped in God's arms.  Peace abounds.  Precious memories behold.

Our prayers be with you.
All Blessings

Dom I remember when you were born and I remember babysitting you, you had brightest smile and biggest heart even as a little kid. You will truly be missed. Keep your wings around your mom and your brother they will miss you the most.

I remember when Dom and Jess met us for dinner and some billiards shortly after the family moved to Strongsville.   Our kids were in the same grade and it was the first time they met 🥹  he was such a sweetheart.  God I pray all the wonderful memories he leaves behind offer some comfort in this heartbreaking  unbearable loss. RIP Dom 🙏

You were a great little brother Dominic. I’m sorry we had such a short amount of time to spend together, but those short times were my most cherished time with you. I’ll never forget our late night drive to get food with Isaiah, Nate and Mo, or when I was over to watch movie with you, Nate and Isaiah. You were younger than me yet so full of love and joy. You were younger than me but wiser and more mature. You now have the full power to protect and care for everyone you love at once. Thank you Dominic for the little light you have lit up in my life. There is this saying that I believe in, “god takes everyone with a kind heart and pure soul first to be one of his angels to protect the world”. I will always and forever be grateful for you.

Dom was a great kid, sweet boy, and wonderful musician. I have many fond memories of him. I was shocked and heartbroken to hear what happened. Today, many members of the 7th & 8th grade orchestras honored Dom's contribution to our Strongsville Orchestra family by taking this photo; some even came dressed in concert uniform. Galarza family, we are so sorry for your loss.

Oh, Dommy. I have so many words to say, without knowing where or how to start. We love you so so much, honey. You were truly an Angel on this earth and I’m going to miss you forever. ♾️

my heart is splitting because of this loss and to have a new grandson so smart and loveable.  I will miss his smile and conversation and pray that He is at peace.

Dom was an amazing person and friend. He never failed to light up a room and make everybody around him feel better even when he wasn't having the best day. I will never forget going to Disney during freshman year and using lightsabers in the hallways of the hotel. It doesn't feel the same without him. He was a positive energy that I miss every day.

Dom was one of my closest friends and one of the closest friends I have made sense I transferred here and one of my favorite things about us I loved is we shared interest in the ufc and this lead to my favorite memory being together was us boxing each other in the school locker room. Yes we knew it was stupid but we was just teenage boys having fun and smiling while doing it.

Dom was one of the most chill and interesting people I’ve ever had the privilege of meeting, and I regret not getting to know him more. One of my favorite memories of Dom is when we both would wear matching Poetic Justice hoodies unintentionally to the point where 60% of the time I would wear mine, he would also coincidentally wear his that day. It got to a point that it became a joke between us and We’d laugh and accuse each other of copying each others fits, and we would go back and fourth naming the dates of when we bought the hoodie. Rest easy Dom.

Dom was an amazing soul. He brought smiles and laughs to every room and it is hard to believe that he is no longer here. I remember my friend group with him and all of us goofing off together. I remember him in orchestra bringing laughs and breaking all the tension before going on stage. I remember our random FaceTime calls and his Spanish dancing. He was loved by so many people because he was so genuine. He was a goofball and I will miss him dearly. Rest easy Dom🤍🕊️

This is a message I didn’t think I would need to be writing for a long time. I think most of us feel that way. While Dom was an unexpected friend of mine, he is definitely a great one. When I met Dom I was in 9th grade. The first time I ever met him was on the bus. I didn’t have anyone to sit with so Dom welcomed me to sit next to him for the day. Little did I know that day would turn into days, into weeks, into months, and years. I never had looked forward to riding the bus, I actually dreaded it, but when Dom was there it made a long 30 minutes seem short. Dom and I had so many great conversations and laughs that I will forever hold close to my heart. He is such a genuine person and talked so greatly about everyone he cared for. I thank you Dom for all the great advice you have given me over the years and I will continue to keep your memory alive by sharing your wisdom. I will forever miss getting your smiles and waves in the halls, especially at times when I needed it most. I’m beyond appreciative of the time we all got to spend with Dom and while it seems like it’s come to an end, I think we all know Dom, and can agree that his spirit will never leave the sides of the people he loves. I can’t thank you enough for being the kind person you are to me, to family, and to friends. It means so much to me that you let me into your life, back when I was at my most awkward point but you know what they say, great things come when you least expect it. I’m now in 10th grade and missing Dom more than ever. This seems like goodbye but he is still here with us, in our memory, in our hearts, and most importantly he lives within all of us. I send my greatest condolences to the people who knew Dom. Thank you Dom, for everything. I’m sending my prayers and love to Dom’s family as well as the rest of you, and of course right to you Dom. For everyone grieving, try to take this into mind, this is not goodbye, just a see you later. I put my faith in you god, to welcome our Dom. 🤍

Dom was truly a one of a kind person. He was so kind and respectful to all around him and lit up any room he walked in. Dom had one of the most contagious laughs ive ever encountered, and he knew how to make anyone smile. Dom was seriously one of the purest souls. He was an empath and friend to all. Dom's vibe will never be matched.
From working with him, getting served by Dom at Bibibop, or just seeing him around Strongsville I can confidently say I was always happy to see his face and it was such a pleasure knowing him. I will remember and cherish his sweet soul forever.

Sending a tremendous amount of love and prayers to all of Dom's loved ones.

Rest in peace to such a genuine heart and soul. I know that you are safe now and in your own little paradise.❤️‍🩹

I met Dom almost 5 years ago, I never really talked to him until we started high school, and ever since then, I'll always believe he had the sweetest soul I'll ever get to meet. I'll always cherish the memories we had together, from the deep conversations all the way to taking my leftover lunch at school. I had a class with Dom almost every year, and I got used to seeing him almost everyday, even if it was just on the bus every morning. Knowing that I won't see him running down the street with his flashlight on to catch the bus, or sleeping in class when we had nothing to do and randomly seeing him sleeping during study hall in the morning breaks my heart. He will forever be in my thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace. We'll always love and miss you Dom.

I met dom sophomore year, when i transferred to Strongsville in the middle of the school year. I remember being so scared and not making any friends in my classes but little did i know Dom would have been my first friend at Strongsville. I had him in a couple classes and he was the first person to actually talk to me and become my friend. That just shows how much a kind and sweet soul he had❤️ He was always so full of life and had the kindest personality. He always knew how to make people laugh and cheer them up and he was just always so genuine. We all miss you so much dom, the impact you have made on so many people is truly amazing. In the hearts of those who loved you, you will always be there. Fly high our sweet angel, you will never be forgotten🕊️❤️.

This was us at homecoming. You looked so so good especially in your suit. In the car you also said how good I smelt. Even though we spent only a half hour at the dance cause we aren’t into it, we had such a fun night.

This night I’ll forever remember…we went to the mall and saw the horror movie “Speak no Evil”. Although we cuddled and kissed most of the movie, it was a very good movie.

I met Dom in physc class and I got to know him and I remember how kind and caring he was. He always treated everyone so kindly and he truly made the class a better class. And he never judged me or anyone for being ourselves  and he was always so accepting and genuine. He always made me laugh and always had a big smile on his face. Even though I only met Dom at the beginning of this year I’m happy I did. He was such a good friend and a good human being I’m so sad and shocked and I wish his family the best he was truly such a blessing to this world. rest in peace Dom we all miss you so much 🙏🏻🕊️💗

Dominick, life feels so unreal without you. You were truly my everything baby and each day that goes by is going to be difficult without you, but eventually the weight of pain will lighten. I love you so much Dominick it’s beyond words. I will always remember the first day we met at the mall and how respectful and sweet you were. I know you never liked me calling you “sweet”, but you will always be my sweet boy. When you saw me you immediately held my hand, guiding  me around. You gave me your poetic justice hoodie to wear that day because you said you wanted everyone to know that I was yours. I miss you so much baby every single second I wish you were here. I wish i was able to see you that day to check on you, but instead you drove past my house to maybe check on me. The last thing you did was for me. I promise everyday I can I’ll visit you at the site so I can talk to you and hear your voice. I will always remember your smile, your laugh, your voice, the fun we had, our facetime calls, your personality, and especially the love you had for me. There’s so much more I want to say Dominick, which I’ll write to you in my journal and later read to you. You were loved by so many Dominick especially me and all of your family. I love you Dominick always and forever, and will never forget you my sweet boy.

I’ve known Dom since 6th grade when my friends locker was next to his. we would see him at the dare dances and he would start break dancing and i was shocked on how good he actually was. In sophomore year me and him and a couple other friends went to giant eagle after school and bought a bunch of snacks and went upstairs and just had a fun time. eventually we got kicked out because we were being to loud. but through out all the years i’ve known Dom I don’t think i’ve had a moment where i didn’t think he was a fun and caring and nice person

I met Dom in freshman year and he would always just come up to me randomly in the halls.  I ended up working with him at McDonald’s and he was the funniest person ever.  He would always talk about how when he gets home he’s gonna watch UFC videos and then play his video games and be lazy all night.  I remember we talked about random shows we watched and he’d give me some to watch and told me to report back to him on how it was.  He’d always show me instagram reels while he was dying laughing and it would be the most random video.  I remember when we’d just talk most the work shift he was the most genuine, funniest person ever.  He could always tell when something was wrong and always make sure you were okay.  Last week he came up to me and asked if I’ve been doing good.  He truly would’ve been the greatest therapist.

Dom was a friend of mine throughout all of middle school and highschool. we would have the funniest convos in the middle of study hall and he would always make the whole table laugh. I remember this past week we were just talking about how we were homies back in middle school together. We were in the same science class in middle school and would also once again fool around all the time. I always remember dom as being a social butterfly and pretty much sparked a convo with everybody around him. I remember coming from a new school and he was one of the first people to come up to me the first day of 6th grade and started to talk to me.
You will always be in my heart dom, i’ll miss you so much.

Dom was one of my good friends and we would always talk in my last period laughing, having a good time. He was genuine nice person and i will never forget that. I will always remember the good talks we’d have in last period and walking around the halls. you'll forever keep a place in my heart, i love you man rest easy.

I always had such a great time hanging out with you and our group of friends. Meeting you in 7th grade and having you in my life since was a blessing.  I will forever cherish all of the memories we created, whether it’s all of us hanging out at the library acting like we’re getting work done, or us having surprise birthday parties and hangouts every week, or even just you randomly facetiming me, but I hope you’re resting easy now 🤍🕊️

one of the most sweetest people that i knew. i will forever cherish our memories in english and the stupid moments that we would have in our group. truly will miss you dom. ❤️

He was a very genuinely nice kid. He didn’t deserve to pass this soon. He will be miss. Rest in peace Dom.

I first met Dom when we started working together at McDonald’s and that was the beginning of my freshman year and ever since that day, me and dom‘s bond grew stronger each time we talked these last few months. Dom played a big part in my life. I was someone he could rely on and he was someone I could rely on, the most genuine, kind, caring, loving man I knew I cared for you like a brother and I always will. You always had the biggest smile on your face and always made me laugh and gave me the most encouraging words when I needed it most these past few days have been the hardest days for me , knowing and wondering why This happened to you. I’m going to miss our hallway walks our FaceTime calls that would last for hours and the most random things we would talk about. I love you so much, Dominick And I’m going to miss you forever. I want to share so much more, More of our memories, your words to me and more of our friendship, but for now I’m going to leave it at that.

Dom was one of my closest friend he was always there for me and I won't forget about him he was my boy    he will be missed and loved forever

Dom was a different type of soul he was different then any other person he was unique in his own way and exotic. I never met someone like him or will never meet someone like him again he is one of a kind and the sweetest and smartest human being I known . Inshallah Dom is in a better place living a better life then this messed up  world would ever have gave him . I love and miss you dom ❤️

I remember when i first came to the highschool as a freshman and never really had friends during middle school then i met dom.  Me and Dom would always meet up or find each other in the cafe early in the morning and became very good friends he helped me get a girlfriend/relationship and always helped me if i was ever down or if i was every stressed out no matter what he had going on he made sure i felt comfortable at the highschool and that i was safe. Day by day goes by and we got closer and closer we would start hanging out at the mall and the local rec center and talking about how we wanted to live our future and our dream lives and about how we both played UFC games. Im praying for you Dom and all of your family that they can get through this hard time and i love you man rest easy buddy.

Dom was the most genuine person I knew. I always remembered at work we’d mess around on headset all day, have cone making competitions, and he was always eating with me on shift. He always had the biggest smile on his face, a smile I could never forget. He always knew what to say when you were down and truly helped so many kids through out the year. We’ll all miss him so much. Rest easy Dom. You’ll forever be in our hearts.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen

Dom was one of my employees . He was so kind and patient . He was a friend to many and loved by everyone at McDonald’s . He will forever live in our hearts and from everyone at McDonald’s we are grieving the lost of such a kind beautiful soul.
May God cover the family in love and peace during this devastating time .
