Dominic would probably never have remembered me but we went to Junior HS together, I was in the grade below him. I remember him being very popular and nice. Dominic and I went to different high schools. A few years after HS graduation I began working at a gym and met this really nice guy named Tom Macias. As it turned out, he was Dominics cousin. Tom and I developed a pretty good friendship and he told me that Dominic was a back-up dancer for Paula Abdul (and previously a dancer for the late MJ)and she was performing at Magic Mountain so we went to see the show. I briefly saw Dominic at that time, several years after Junior high and never had an opportunity to speak with him but it was clear to me that he would be a star! It is so sad to find out that his star burned out so soon here on earth, however I am sure he is burning brightly in the afterlife. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. Dawn Insco

The first time I saw Dominic was in the movie Newsies. I thought that he was one of the best dancers I had ever seen. So I saw what his name was when the movie was over and looked him up online. When I saw that he had passed on years ago I could not believe it. I felt like crying then and there. He had so much talent and he will never be forgotten.

Since I was little I always loved watching Roundhouse on Nickelodeon and I loved the movie Newsies. I will never forget the impact he left on my life, he was and will awalys be my favorite Roundhouse actor! As I watch my snick tapes of Roundhouse at my home it will never be the same, just seeing him on t.v and knowing that he is with God now, I will love him forever and more soon to become.

I never knew who he was until June of 2004. My sister showed me the movie Newsies and he jusr caught my eye. He look so beautiful there and I saw how talented he was and had to find out what his name was. So when I got back from the trip I was on I went right online to find out. Well it took hours but I never took a break finally I found it. I was so happy then I read his bio and found out he had died. My world crashed after that. I now watch Newsies every day and look a pictures I have of him from online and see how alive he is in those. I never got a chance to meet him or to even dream of a chance to marry him like I do with lots of Celebs. I am a writer and am putting him in some of my books. I now think about how precious life is and know matter how good of shape your in something can go wrong and just hope its something you can handle. I cant come close to imagine how his family must of felt when they found out what he had nor himself. I watch his movie Newsies and when I watch i

I was a big fan of Dominic's when he was on Roundhouse on Nickelodeon and also when he was in Newsies. I will never forget the impact he left on my life and am currently working on some fanfiction using music to remember him. http://www.fanfiction.net/~mousetrap/

I am so sad to hear about the loss of Dominic. I deeply regret not being able to send him or his family words of comfort during his suffering, and I hope sharing these few memories I have of him might bring a smile to the many who must miss him still. I met Dominic at James Irvine Junior High. We were in the Drama club together where the highlight of that club was to go and see a taping of The Facts of Life Show. We loved that trip. I also served on the student council with him where we planned dances and activities together. I counted him as one of my friends. We often went to the same exciting Junior High parties and he thankfully hung out with me in the non-smoking, non-drinking section. Once we were walking home from school together. As we were talking, he lagged a few steps behind me. Then I heard a very loud áBANGá. When I looked back, the stop sign was shaking and vibrating, and Dominic was moaning and holding his head- like he had been casually walking down the street, a

Dominic, we had so many great times, Dance, Drama, Zaca Lake and the box of M&M's. I can not wait to see you again in heaven, you are such a wonderful person and I will never forget the great times we had and how many laughs we shared. I remember when I lived in Washington and I got home late from work one night and you were on the news because they were interviewing you for being a back up singer for Michael Jackson, that was the last time I saw your beautiful smile. I will forever miss you and be thankful that you touched my life in such a beautiful way!!!

Dominic probably would not have remembered me well if at all, but I remember the talent and potential he had, and the fact that he was a nice and caring person.
