I am just hearing the news of this tragic death. Dom was our barber for both myself and my 8 year old son. Going to see Dom was our time to bond as father and son and Dom was always so gracious with my son. He was an amazing barber and great personality. He will be missed by both me and my son!

Parents of Dominic Martinez,i don't know you personally but i had to reach out to you because I am a parent also. I truly want to extend my sincere condolences in the loss of your precious son. Losing a loved one is always difficult, but when it is your child, it is heartbreaking!! May Almighty God be with & comfort you in the days and months ahead. (Isaiah 41:10, 13; Isaiah 33:24). Please try to get the brochure, "When Someone You Love Dies" (jw.org). It was a tremendous help for me during my time of lost. Again, my condolences and prayers for your family.

God Bless Dom! Rest in Peace Brother. We will miss You! Prayers go out to the Martinez Family<3!!

Dom held a special place in my heart the day he hopped on the school bus and stuck up for my son. The laughs he gave us fishing, or just hanging around the house, he was truly a unique individual and I am heart broken with his passing. I'm so sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear of this tragic news. We are thinking of all of you at this time.

Love, Henry and Felice Tatgenhorst and Family

It was an honor and a pleasure to teach Dom. My deepest condolences to you and everyone who loved him.

My heart is broken for your family. This is an unimaginable loss and there is no way to put into words how sorry I am. I will be praying for you all.

Dear Carol, Norman and family,

Kristin, James and I are SO sorry to hear about Dominic's passing. We cannot imagine what you and your family are going through right now. We send our love and deepest sympathies.

I had the privilege of teaching Dominic as his first-grade teacher in Howell Township. That was a special class filled and we shared a year that leave us with many fond memories of each other. You will remain in my heart. Rest in peace #11

Carlos, Kristin and Nico,

There are no words that I could say that would ever make you feel better. My heart breaks for you and your unthinkable loss. You’re such a beautiful family who is always there for one another. I’m truly saddened for all of you and your families.

Dominic's spirit will live in my heart forever. A kindhearted and gentle guy with a big personality. I know how much your heart hurts and I also know that to be absent from the body is to be with the Lord. May he rest in perfect peace.

To a Wonderful Family,

I am so saddened by Dominic's passing. It's too difficult to comprehend. I know your hearts are forever broken from this loss. Please accept my deepest sympathy and prayers. I will always remember my good times with Dominic after school. He had to do his homework if he wanted to play basketball with Charlie. It worked! He was a kind and caring young boy who grew up to be a kind and caring young man. He will be missed.

I am saddened and heartbroken to hear of this loss. My condolences to Dom’s family and friends.

There are no words. You and your family are in my prayers. Love you

Kristin & Carlos, My deepest sympathy to you and your family. So tragic and sad. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Lots of Love.

Suzanne Franzolin

We’re having a hard time finding the words. Please know that we lift you up in prayer and in love. Kristin and Carlos our hearts hurt with yours and our eyes cry with yours. The road ahead will be hard, but please know we are with you. Love and condolences,

Colette and Carl

Dear Carlos, Kristin and Nico

Fa and I are deeply saddened to learn of your immeasurable loss and are profoundly heartbroken for your sweet family. Like so many others who have extended notes of love and support, we feel our words fail to adequately express the depth of our condolences. We adored Dominic.

Fa and I will always remember Dominic as the most gorgeous little boy with the biggest brown eyes and the brightest, sweetest personality. We’ll forever remember how much fun he was. I would call him “Squishy” or “The Squishiest” because he was absolutely precious and had the best cheeks. When he got a little older, he would pretend to get annoyed when I called him “Squishy” and did his level-best not to laugh or crack a smile, which is a cherished memory; loved making him laugh.

What is more, we’ve always felt God gave Dominic just a little something “extra” in terms of a core goodness. Early on, it was clear that Dom was just one of those unique kids who was natively kind and had an advanced capacity to empathize, which is remarkable; his light shone brighter than most.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We feel Dominic was beyond blessed by how much he was loved and supported by his family (and parents, especially). There is no doubt about Dominic knowing how much he was loved and cherished.

All our love,

Fa and Melissa Aprigliano

I remember the 1st day I realized that Kristen and Carlos lived around the corner from us. I saw them riding their bikes and had to look twice to believe my eyes! My friends since I was a teenager had moved into our neighborhood. I was so happy we were reunited and the bonus was we had kids the same age. I'll never forget the 1st time I met Dominic, I thought "man I am looking at a little Kristen right there.. With a smile that could stop traffic! " Dominic and my twins grew up together. He was a gorgeous child with a spark in his eye. He loved attention and beamed when praised. All during his childhood one thing never waivered.. His parents constant love and devotion to him. Kristen was his biggest cheerleader and went to bat for him whenever the situation called for reinforcement. Carlos had his back through thick and thin.. He was blessed to have parents like them and they were blessed to have a son as amazing as Dominic. I want to scream WHY at the heavens.. Why take such a beautiful boy from his family and friends who love him so much?? But I know we are not to know everything. God has called him home and he is now an angel in heaven He will always be missed and loved. Rest in peace Dom, your memory will burn in our hearts forever.

Dearest Carlos and Kristin

Our thoughts are with you at this time . We will pray for you and your family at this sad time to find peace some how. Sending our love

Kristen, Carlos, & Family,

My heart goes out to you amd your family. I can not imagine.....

I just dont have the words to express how unbelievably sad I am for you all.

Deepest sympathies,

Samantha Janssen

Our sincerest and deepest sympathy to you Kristen, Carlos and Nico. May God give you strength, comfort and peace. God Bless you.

We are so sorry to hear of your tragic loss.. we cannot attend but are sending prayers for Dominick ‘s deft journey tone with the lord!

Finding the right words to be able to bring you peace at this moment is probably impossible. I can tell you that the memories we created together with our kids made us crazy, laugh, and cry. I wouldn't trade anything in the world for those moments. Domonic always made me feel like an aunt... like someone he loved and protected. He was kind and always happy to see me, especially when you'd come visit in Florida. Moving away from amazing neighbors and people who grew to be family was very hard. But seeing you all and getting those hugs from Dominic, feeling like we belonged right there with you... those moments are priceless. Some of my favorite memories was watching our kids fight and love hard. I am blessed to have known him and I spoke with him tonight. I wont stop either. I love you all and will always be here for you all. I pray God comforts you every single day and night. Dominic, I love you. You will forever live in our hearts and memories

Krisin and Carlos, Our Deepest Sympathies to you and your family, Our Heart goes out to you all, May God help you through this tragic time and Dominic be an Angel always at your side. Our son Vincent DeStasio played on the Land Sharks with your son and will always treasure the memories and friendship he had . May God Bless you.! Sheryl and Vinny Valente

We are so very sorry and sad for the loss of this wonderful man. He was such a good kid! Not only was he always so personable and friendly with us, but he went out of his way to make my boys always feel comfortable. He had a way to light up a room with his friendly outgoing personality. Prayers to his family and friends and hope they can find strength in fun memories.

Our deepest condolences as this very difficult time. No words can describe the pain we are feeling from this tragic loss. Dominic was an amazing young man. May God provide our family with strength to understand and cope with his loss. May he rest in eternal peace knowing he is loved by all.

Our deepest condolences, prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. My heart breaks and no words seem to Express how much. Dominic is a beautiful soul who my family and I had the honor to know. I smile with tears in my eyes when I remember that great bright smile he had. He was so loved. We have so many wonderful memories of the kids playing when they were younger. He was a clown, kind and sweet, with a little bit of busting your chops prackster. So blessed to have known him. Prayers for peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Xoxo

I’ll always remember Dominick playing with Alan & Desiree. May he rest in the sweetest peace, wrapped in the arms of The Lord! I’m so very sorry! My heart aches for you!

Love,

Kristen, Carlos & Family, May God watch over you both and your Families and give you Strength,Love And Healing during this difficult time. God Bless all. Keep your sons memories Alive. Fly Angel Fly.......Fondly, Barbara Tyrrell

Dom always lit up a room ! I remember being in high school and I had both sides of my head shaved and he would always ask me if he could do my hair ! I finally let him go to work on my head for my senior prom ! I remember thinking he was so talented and I was going to let him shape me up all the time. Contagious laugh and smile , may he soul be carried with us forever .

Kristen, I don’t know what to say. This was our nightmare always. Love you. Phyllis

I am sending this note on behalf of my son Dylan Wisniewski who is serving in the Army right now. Dom and Dylan were good friends and even spoke last week. Dylan was devistated by the news the of his passing. There are no words to say at this time. Just know our family and Dylan are there in spirit with you at this time. Peace be with you all. H72pd

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Words can’t express how sad I was when I hear the news. May god give you strength during this difficult time.

Our hearts and prayers go out to at this time.try to be strong God will see you through this..

Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs. Love You, Rose

Kristin, Carlos and Nico, My prayers, sympathies and thoughts are with you all. I know all to well on losing a child. Just remember all of the memories you have and never let the memories go away. Always include Dominic in your daily lives.
