I was the special education teacher and coordinator when Dominic was at West Side. I didn't know him well as he never needed my services. But I remember him as being full of light and humor. Sending love and continued healing to Maryanne and family. Sylvan Warner

I remember, like yesterday, the joy Dominic and my daughter, Chloe shared in school at Westside and Healdsburg. That joy lives forever.

Dearest Mary Ann and Family, I hadn't seen Dominic since Westside but heard news of him through the years--all of it good. I "happen" to have a copy of his band's CD, Now Ferment, and will treasure it always. I'm so sorry for your loss of Dominic who was clearly one of the most brilliant lights in this world. I lost a daughter years ago, and there has been nothing harder in life for me to have to face. I can only say my inner sun does shine again even after such a tragic loss. The kids in my life have been the greatest healers. May you find what heals you most deeply throughout the rest of your lives. I know Dominic will live forever in many, many hearts. --Sylvan Warner

Dear Mary Ann, Jack, and Patrick,
All I can do is send my love to wrap around you and hold you tight as you mourn the loss of Dominic. What a treasure he is always. I tried to send a card but it came back, guess I don't have your current address. Love always, Carey Hobart

Jack, Maryanne,Patrick, and Family,
Words cannot express how very sorry I am for your loss. I am so saddened for Dominic and all of you. As I read these entries I feel such deep sorrow. You are all in my thoughts and my prayers. He is at rest with no pain and flying with the angels and watching over you now. A part of him will always remain here on our earth. God bless you all.

The color picture of Dominic on the Press Democrat website is wonderful, full of joy and playfulness. That must have been a special moment and his death is so sudden and tragic...I take a moment each day to send loving thoughts your way, what was unimaginable is upon you. Be well.

Dominic was my student at Good Beginnings in Healdsburg years ago. I knew him as a preschooler, but not as the man he grew up to be.
Mary Ann and Jack, you did a great job raising your son. I remember both of you being the kind of parents that are every Teacher's dream, always volunteering and ready to help. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Dominic was the greatest. We popped champagne under the Eiffel Tower at midnight, danced in our pajamas during a snowflake blurry, climbed castle walls and laughed in Moroccan tea houses. All of these are extraordinary memories. But the best quality about Dominic was his ability to make any ordinary moment a very dear one. My memories of Dominic are special not because of circumstance, but because, as all know, HE was extraordinary.

What a loss. I knew Dominic through my son Eddie. Dominic was such a kind and smart young man.
My heart is with his family.

I am grateful to have known Dominic. A beautiful soul who I will miss, as will many. All my love and support to Mary Ann, Jack, Patrick, Carol, Hody, Allegra and Alyn. May you find peace and comfort.

Dominic was a beautiful young man in every way. How to fill the void, find solace? If we can believe that there are angels...well he is surely among them.

This is just so very sad. What a fine young man. Such a tragic loss. His time was too short on this earth. May his accomplishments in his short life go on and remain in the hearts of all those he touched. Thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Being in orchestra with Dominic for 3 years at SRHS, as well as a string quartet with Dominic was such a gift. Dominic was an amazingly kind and gentle person with such a great smile and an unparalleled ability to empathize with others. He was also a fantastic violinist! I was so sad to hear this news, and I will never forget Dominic and his genuine warmth.

Dominic was a shining star to all who knew and loved him. Life is much darker without his presence, but isn't the sky a little bit brighter?
