Early in life Domingo was a Merchant Marine, and he also worked at Bayside Compress. Later he worked for The Worthen Electric Company, where he found his passion as an Electrician. He then devoted the next 40 years at HCA Healthcare Houston Mainland as their only Electrician. He was well respected as a great leader and trained several of his peers at the hospital in the Maintenance Department. Domingo was very well respected by the hospital staff at HCA and had many friends there. Domingo received several accolades such as Employee of the month, Employee of the year, and the first ever Humanitarian Award in 2009. Domingo loved and was dedicated to his family and dogs (Hector and Emily Ann). He was humble, kind, and he never met a stranger. He was a (corny) jokester/trickster. Domingo was an avid Houston Astros and Texans' fan and looked forward to Sundays watching the football games with his daughter (Christina). Domingo enjoyed going the game rooms every day after work.
