Domingo Chavarria Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Kirby-Ratliff Funeral Home - Lovington on Dec. 5, 2025.
Funeral services for Domingo "Palomito" Chavarria Jr., 45, of Lovington will be held on Friday, December 12, 2025 at 10:00 am at St. Thomas Catholic Church with Father Samuel Ameh officiating. Burial will follow at Lovington Cemetery. Arrangements are under the direction of Kirby-Ratliff Funeral Home. Domingo was born on July 22, 1980 in Hobbs to Domingo Sr. and Anita (Sanchez) Chavarria and passed away on November 29, 2025. Domingo was Known lovingly as "Palomito" or "Pito," he had a voice that stood out, a presence that filled every room, and a sense of humor that could lift anyone's spirits. He was funny and always knew how to make people laugh. Domingo loved singing, camping, going to the lake, riding his Can-Am, cooking for the people he loved, and watching his Dallas Cowboys play. But more than anything, he cherished spending time with his family-the center of his world. Anyone who knew him could see how close they were. Whether they were gathered around the grill, taking trips, teasing each other, working on something together, or simply sitting in the same room, they were together. He cherished every moment with his wife and children; they were his pride, his happiness, and the reason he worked so hard. The Chavarria family was known for being inseparable, and Domingo was the heart that held them all together. Domingo was also a hardworking oilfield man for over 25 years, Domingo took pride in providing for his family and was known for his dedication, his strong work ethic, and the unforgettable meals he cooked for everyone around him.

He was preceded in death by his parents: Domingo and Anita Chavarria; and one brother: Johnny Saenz.

He is survived by his wife Christie Chavarria; one son: Allan Domingo Chavarria; three daughters: Aaliyah Delilah Chavarria, Analee Deray Chavarria, and Alyanna Dominik Chavarria; and two sisters: Linda and husband Jose Luis Valenzuela and Brenda Saenz and Eddie Peralta; and lots of family and friends.
