Obituary

David “Dave” Michael Dominoski, 61, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, May 27, 2013 following a heroic 26 month battle with pancreatic cancer.  He was born on March 8, 1952, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to the late Chester and Janice Dominoski.  Dave graduated from East Pennsboro High School in 1970 and married the love of his life and high school sweetheart, Linda Stankovic, that same year. Dave was a building equipment mechanic at Verizon for 34 years before retiring in 2007 and moving to McKinney, Texas in July 2010.  He was a devoted and caring husband and father, a beloved friend to many and an avid bass fisherman.  He participated in many fishing tournaments around the country and shared his love of the outdoors with his family.  He also loved baseball and coached many of his children’s teams and was an active attendant at his grandchildren’s games.  He loved his family and the Lord.  He will always be remembered for his kindness, gentle spirit and sense of humor. Dave is survived by his wife of 43 years, Linda, and his two children:  Christopher Dominoski of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania; and Amy Petrof, married to Emery M. Petrof, III, of Plano, Texas.  He is also survived by six beautiful grandchildren:  Jocelyn (10), Michelle (9), Aidan (5), Zachary (2) and twins Aubrey and Hailey (6 weeks) and a sister, Janice Mullaney of Argos, IN. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made to Lifepointe Fellowship Church, 6374 County Road 161, McKinney, Texas 75071 or the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (www.pancan.org).  Condolences to the family can be left on Dave’s caring bridge site at www.caringbridge.org/visit/davedominoski. A memorial service celebrating his life was held on Saturday, June 1, at their home church, Lifepointe Fellowship Church in McKinney, Texas. Arrangements are under the direction of ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road, Dallas, Texas 75252 214-306-6700.

    Our hearts go out to Dave’s family. We were heart broken to hear about Dave’s passing, although no more pain for him. We are sure he is fishing somewhere in heaven and catching the big ones! He was a dear friend of ours and we will miss him greatly.

    I am heart broken. I prayed and believed he would kick this cancer in the butt. He gave it a run for it’s money. God Bless Him. He will be forever in my heart.

    Sincere condolences to Linda, Chris, Amy, and the entire family. While I never met Dave personally, I know his son Chris, and therefore know that Dave was a good man.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
