Dominic attended Bel-Rea Institute in Denver. I just heard of Dom's passing. I was his Registrar and friend and am truly heartbroken. I have no words. Only tears. Goodbye dear friend. Be free.

I miss u so much bro. Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe. Like all I need is to see you one more time and my lungs would fill with air. It's like I'm drowning. I never thought I'd ever have to write something like this for you. Even though I feel like a piece of me is missing and at all times I wanna break down. I won't let you go in vain. I'm gonna tuck my chin and keep pushing and show give my daughters all the love I can possibly give them and then some extra love for you. Dam does Aria miss you bro. I'm so so sorry I didn't read the signs. The last time we spoke we argued, I know u didn't hold a grudge but I'll have to live with that for the rest of my life. Things will never be the same for me. But I know you're up there watching, so ima do my best to make you proud. I love u bro, rest in the sweetest peace ❤

The comfort that you brought me, in a time when I was alone and afraid, can never be repaid. It's a feeling that I'll hold very near and dear to my heart until the day I see you again. I'll never let your story go untold, or your memory fade, or your name be forgotten. I'll tell the stories, and I'll sing the songs, and I'll make the funny voices. It won't live up to what you did, but I'll do my best. You're the best of us. You're the funniest, the best looking, the most intelligent, the most caring and the most affectionate. When I'm able, I'll look fondly on the photos of me and you at my wedding, side by side, the way we always knew it would be. Most importantly, you're the best friend a man could ask for. I wish you were here. More than anything I've wished in my life, I wish you were still here. I love you, brother. I love you so much.

As parents, first we never want our kids to go before us. But when they are younger what we want to hear from others is how respectful and kind they are while at friends' houses. Dom was one of those kids and one of those adults. I loved his fearlessness, his craziness, but with his kindness and the respect he showed me (as a friends' mother) he quickly became one of the friends I liked the most. Thank you Dom for your friendship to my son, the laughs you brought our family, and a peak into the soul of one of the most thoughtful persons in our lives. May you rest in peace now.

My condolences to the Bonfiglio family.Dom was a great person and awesome soul he will be sadly missed. Rest in peace Dominic.

Offering our condolences to the entire Bonfiglio family. We hope your memories of Dom will help comfort you doing this difficult time. Bruce and Sandy Gibson

To my nephew Dominic, may our prayers mingle with the love and mercy of God the Father as you meet Him. Remember all of us to Him and be our intercessor as we remember you and the happiness you brought us. We love you and are going to miss you, my nephew. God bless you and keep you in His Peace, which surpasses all others.

I have a scenario more than a memory, because it happened so many times, and always left me feeling like a Ne'er do well. Especially of late and I told him this a couple weeks ago and he was ecstatic and I was surprised my validation was even something. Anyways, when I was 18,19,20 I would be heading over to Anita Marie's or Mary Lou's and at 3,4 years old he would ask, with that little frog in his voice, (I think it changed young) "uncle Pete, can I come with you to get coffee or breakfast?" And I would try to catch him off guard and say "well buddy do ya have any money?", and he would keep on strolling after saying "yup". He knew that I hated saying no to him so this cat or toddler, had me down. We both knew it so we would start walking down the hill to end of the street. And I would show him where the big dogs 🐕 live because in our day you met them on the street like people. Besides all this is the best part and the toughest part, we would be happy and walking maybe a few people wave or honk and Dom would be just thrilled and I knew that I meant something to him it's not like loving anyone, I'm sure that any parents will agree knowing someone young can or is showing appreciation for who you are, how you do it, when or why you do or don't do it. Aping the various motions or methods you have, it's a growing soul, looking to you for you. This feeling of being a standard to go by, was amazing to me, and when we walked he would be telling me these amazing stories about that truck going down this road and finding the river, I can't do them justice because he was so quick hopping from one thing to the next and tying it all together. One day on one of those trips I said to myself, damn this kid has me envious of his talent. Four years old and I had been writing free verse poetry longer than he was alive, yet the purity and purpose of his story was and will always be "of the Lord". This hurts

Dominic I met on January 2, 2021 when him and our mutual friends picked me up to go skiing. Once I opened the door and looked at Dominic, I knew right then and there that he was going to be in my person. He changed my life and taught me so much along the way. Dominic was the first person to come into my life and showed me what unconditional love was. Dom went out of his way constantly just to put a smile on my face. Whether it was cleaning the apartment, doing the dishes, leaving me sweet little sticky notes, or making sure my day starts off right, he did it. Him and I would always make songs up to the tune of the song we were listening to, randomly bust dance moves out where ever we were and talk in silly voices. I remember one time I told him that I loved hiking. So he says that he knows of one that I would really like. So I said ok. Let's go! He said, that it was easy and I "could totally do it." What he failed to tell me is how steep it was in the beginning. Here I am trying to impress this guy and I'm behind him huffin and puffin 😂 Once I've asked if I wanted to work out with him and I was like "yeah sure!" Well..., he kept telling me, "just one more, just one more... just one more." It wasn't more, it was like 8 more. I've also never laughed so hard in my whole life with someone until I met him., Dom did the most spot on impressions of Mrs. Doubtfire, Randy Savage, Hulk Hogan, Borat, etc. he had me laughing so hard, I fell off my couch. I have so many wonderful and amazing memories with Dominic, I wish I could share them all. I don't know what I did to deserve a man like Dominic in my life, but I am eternally grateful that the universe brought us together and the beautiful time that him and I got to spend together. Dominic reminded me daily of my worth, beauty, strength and how much he loved me and wanted to take care of me. He made an immense impact on my life and for that I will cherish it for the rest of my life. I will never forget him and the unforgettable time that we shared together. I will love him forever and he will always remain my hero. 143 Thank you my love for coming into my life with such light and love, truly making an enormous impact. Thank you for everything you did for me during our relationship. I love you and I miss you immensely. ♥️

Dominic and I were very close friends for a few years and I cherish those times. I remember they had a beagle named Jack who got loose and we had to chase him down the block. This hits hard even though we have not seen each other for many years. He had a good heart and was always down to try new things. He will be missed. Thoughts go out to his family who always treated me well. RIP Dom. Doug Hopkins

You were a great friend to my daughter Noelle and I will forever be grateful for that. She will miss you Dominic.

It will shed light on the dark days you may have ahead.. making sure you see the good in the world through Dominic's eyes. My heart is broken for you all. Paul and Lesley.. no parent should ever have to experience this loss. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Anthony, Matthew, Sophia and Pauley.. lean on each other when you feel overwhelmed.. you have a wonderful bond between yourselves, and Dom will be there to keep you strong.
