Elias "Patito' Dominguez

Elias "Patito" Dominguez, age 15, passed away on June 14, 2025, in Alcalde, New Mexico. Born on March 17, 2010, in Española, New Mexico. Elias brought joy and light into the world from the very beginning.

Known affectionately as "Patito," Elias was a happy and handsome young boy who had a natural gift for capturing the attention of those around him. His vibrant spirit and magnetic presence left a lasting impression on everyone he met. Whether through his smile, his laughter, or simply his way of being, Elias made sure people remembered him.

He is lovingly remembered by his mother, Sandra Dominguez; and his brothers, Randy Almeida and Alexander Almeida. Elias also held close the memory of his grandmother, Eva Dominguez, who preceded him in death.

Though his time with us was far too short, Elias's memory will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. May his memory bring comfort and peace to all who mourn his passing.

" Those we love never truly leave us. There are things that death simply cannot touch."

Rest in Peace, sweet Patito. You will always be loved. You will always be missed.
