Jose DOMINGUEZ

DOMINGUEZ, Dr. Jose Jr. (AKA Tico or JC), died at age 61, surrounded by his family at his home in Tampa, FL on Friday, November 5, 2021. While he succumbed to his four-year battle with cancer, he died the way he lived; on his own terms, exactly the way he wanted to, surrounded by the people he loved most. Born in Havana, Cuba, Jose was a lifelong resident of Tampa. He attended Jesuit High School, where he was the State Champion, All American wrestler in 1978. Jose attended the University of South Florida for his undergraduate studies. After medical school, while completing his residency training at Orlando Regional Medical Center, he met his beloved wife of 33 years, Tina. He completed his medical training at Emory University and returned to Tampa as an Allergist Immunologist, where he had a thriving and successful practice for 29 years. While Dr. Dominguez's greatest passions in life were his family, friends, and medical practice; he had many other passions and hobbies. These passions included (but were certainly not limited to) hunting all over the world, fishing, collecting cars (both real and RC), flying helicopters, and being a divemaster. He was also the King of the Knights of the Krewe of Sant' Yago in 2000. Through his adventures and the many relationships he acquired, Jose lived 1,000 lifetimes in the 61 years we had him. He is survived by his wife, Tina; daughters, Sasha and Shelbi; mother, Edith; and brother, Peter. His father, Dr. Jose Carlos Dominguez Sr., died last December. Memorial contributions may be made to Tampa General Hospital, The Cleveland Clinic, and The World Wildlife Organization. Private services were held.
