I was honoured to have met you as part of a program in Escondido. The moment you entered everyone could tell you were a born leader with a heart of gold. Your charismatic energy drew all the other students to you and you befriended all the staff aswell. When you spoke everyone listened and when you smiled everyone smiled back at you. 

To say that your loss has affected Me is an understatement. You meant so much to everyone you were in contact with and I will continue to pray for you and your family. 

Rest in piece little bro. 

Dominic, 

I remember dropping you off, and you, asked my family to wait for a second. You came around the corner with a smile and a plate of Lumpia. I won’t forget this moment because it wasn’t just a plate of lumpia. It was a moment of everything and nothing less. Dominic is good people. I will surely miss our games/ training, laughs, car rides, awesome kendama tricks, and running over my retainer but, above all you. 

May you rest in liberation, Dominic. 🤍

Dominic was one of my best friends at Rock Springs Elementary. Every year there was a book fair at the school and one year there was one book I desperately wanted, I was short around $8 and I cried. Dominic spent the whole day asking people if they had any change until he was able to make the $8 so I could buy my book. I still have it even though it’s been six years, every time I read it I think about that. It was truly one of the sweetest things anyone’s ever done for me and I’ll never forget it, or forget him. 

Dominic will surely be missed by his classmates and teachers at Oasis Christian Fellowship Sunday School. 

We still have your notebook where you jot down all our Bible lessons and we saw how you enjoyed participating Sunday School activities.

Now, you are in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Subject of our existence.

Our caring condolences and deepest sympathy to the entire family.



I remember Timmy when he was brought in to our house by Brother Krishun to attend his first VBS here in San Diego. His angelic face draw me and my sister to  interview him. He was a little shy but not timid. He has full of hope and  was grateful for his family.
I am terribly sad of his passing  and I don’t know what is the appropriate word to comfort the whole family.  But this I know... God will give you peace and comfort in this difficult time. 

You will always be in our hearts!
Fly high and be in our God's loving hands now.

We love and miss you, Uncle Timmy- Creese and Kidlat

Squishy,

You are missed.    The greatest thing is being your 2nd mom and being a part of your family !   

Met you when you were in 3rd grade and the bond was there with you and your family and mine.   Played fantastic with the Police Athletic League.

God has a reason for what he does .  Now an Angel looking over us.    

Love you always
Lori ❤️

Dominic made a positive impact in his time at Valley High.  He was very happy on campus and it was a pleasure getting to know him most recently as he was coming to campus.  He was an intelligent young man and he will be missed dearly.  Our love from Valley High goes out to his family and mother during this difficult time.

As a teacher students aren’t supposed to hold special places in your heart, but Dominic did. His smile and laughter I can still see and hear today. I’m so sorry for your loss. My heart is aching and I know that heaven is getting a special angel. However, the world is going to miss a very special young man. 

May Gods arms be opened wide

I'm very sad to hear of Dominic’s early passing. I coached Dominic when he was playing basketball at the Police Athletic League and I, along with all the other coach’s saw something bright in Dominic. He was a great, funny kid that loved to play basketball with his friends. My heart is happy knowing that I got to create great memories coaching him. My condolences go to Dominic’s parents, siblings, family, and friends. Truly a great soul took too soon. Rest with love, Dominic. 

Always, 
Coach Max

I love you, Timmy! I will miss you so much.

“It is often hard to find the right words at a time like this. May you find peace, comfort, and all the love you need in the days to come.”

Timmy was a bundle of joy when we saw him last time, we never thought that would be the last time as well, may his soul rest in peace, our dear Lord has great plans for him, Now we have a special angel to watch over us.

I Love and Miss you so much manang ko, I might be far away but I'm always here for you.

God Bless

You were my bestfriend in elementary school Timmy and always stood by my side you never let me down once. Thank you for being a great friend and always making me laugh ill never forget those memories we made in english class. Rest easy Timmy.

Dominic was a fantastic athlete and kind person.  I watched him play sports for many years in the Escondido Police Athletic League.  He had a great 3 point shot.  During his teen years I had the chance to work with him on some boxing skills.  Dominic may have made couple of mistakes but he was always honest with me and under that tough exterior, he was kind and thoughtful.  Dominic left us way to early.  You will be missed bu your peers and coaches.

I met Dom in August 2020, right smack in the middle of a global pandemic. He came to Valley High RTP orientation meeting with a sense of hope and energy of a brighter future & new start. He was respectful & shy. He was eager to learn how to take my class online, he had never been to a traditional high school but, wanted to learn & even asked me if I could help him register for classes to go to college. I said take my AVID class & we would work on that! He was always kind, respectful & always reached out via text or email when he needed help with assignments.  In the short time that I knew Dom, he made a significant impact with me & I’ll never forget him. My condolences are with his mother Yvette and family. My heart breaks just thinking about the young angel heaven has received. May you always Rest In Peace Dom.
Your fave VHS teacher,
