In Loving Memory of Dominic Tarsitano (— July 25, 2025)
“Those we love never truly leave us. There are things that death cannot touch.”
With broken hearts and unimaginable sorrow, we announce the tragic and untimely passing of Dominic Tarsitano, who left this world far too soon on the morning of Friday, July 25, 2025, following a catastrophic work-related accident. Dominic’s sudden departure has left a void that words cannot begin to fill — a sorrow so deep that it echoes through the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.
Dominic was more than just a name in our family tree or a face in a crowd — he was the center of gravity that kept us grounded, the warmth in the room, the laughter at the dinner table, and the compassion in our darkest moments. He was a devoted son, a cherished grandson, a loyal brother, a loving cousin, and an irreplaceable friend. He made every life he touched a little brighter and every burden feel a little lighter.
His kindness was effortless, his smile disarming, and his heart wide open to anyone in need. Dominic had a rare gift — the ability to make people feel seen, heard, and loved without judgment. Whether it was a quick check-in message, a shared joke, or a helping hand, he showed up for others with unwavering sincerity. That’s who he was — someone you could count on no matter the hour or circumstance.
Dominic was also deeply hardworking, taking pride in his labor and putting everything he had into each day. He approached his job with determination and integrity, never cutting corners and always lifting others up along the way. That he lost his life in the line of work — a place he showed up to with such reliability and purpose — makes this loss even more devastating. We mourn not only what was but what could have been: the dreams he hadn’t yet fulfilled, the journeys he hadn’t yet taken, the future that was waiting for him.
In the days since his passing, an outpouring of love and support has reminded us just how deeply Dominic was loved by his community. Friends and coworkers have come forward with stories of his selflessness, his humor, and his quiet strength — all the pieces of his character that made him unforgettable. There is no question that his absence will be felt in countless ways, every single day, by those who knew him.
To his parents, who raised him with love and strength — we offer our deepest condolences. To his siblings, who shared in the joy and chaos of growing up together — may you find peace in your shared memories. To his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family — may you feel his presence in every sunrise and sunset. And to his friends — the chosen family he laughed with, worked beside, and confided in — know that your loss is shared by us all.
A celebration of Dominic’s life will be held in the coming days, where loved ones will gather not only to grieve but to honor the life he lived and the love he gave so freely. Details of the memorial service will be shared soon. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Dominic’s memory to a workplace safety initiative or charitable cause close to his heart — a gesture they hope will help protect others and carry forward his legacy of care.
Though the pain of this loss is immense, we take solace in knowing that Dominic’s spirit will never fade. He lives on in every act of kindness, every shared story, and every life made better by his presence. His time with us may have been far too short, but his impact was immeasurable.
Rest in eternal peace, Dominic.
You were deeply loved, and you will never be forgotten.
