Dominick Matalone Obituary
Satellite Beach - Dominick, 85, of Satellite Beach passed away Wednesday April 25, 2018 at Holmes Regional Medical Center. He was born in Hempstead, Long Island New York and came to Brevard County in 1975.

Dominick was an exceptional trim carpenter by trade and retired after over 30+ years as a building inspector for both Brevard County and the City of Palm Bay. He was well known as a loving, caring, generous Big Teddy Bear, considered everyone his family and because of this was called either Pop or Poppy. He had such amazing gifts, which included but were not limited to designing and creating things out of wood, problem solving and just being able to make you feel like everything was going to be alright. He would also take the time to do anything he could to help others.
He is survived by four children, Brenda Lee White-Tatum of Katy, Texas; Denise Harrah of Rockledge, Florida; Laurie Rollando (Thomas) of Vero Beach, Florida and Dominick Matalone (Kathy) of Melbourne, Florida.

Denise and Family; Sorry to hear about your loss. I can remember Hank and him working together on several things and how each made everyone around them laugh. He is in a better place and at peace with Mary by his side. May all of the family find the strength and peace needed to endure through this..
