Ramon, better known as "Mon, served God as a Grand Knight in the Knights of Columbus in Espanola, NM, and as a penitente as part of the Hermanos de La Morada del Alto de Abiquiu, NM. He was devoted to his son, Ruben, and they were always together, along with his other companion, his guitar. Mon will be remembered for his great heart, his musical talent, his joking ways, and that infectious laugh that made you want to laugh just because. He always said that he never met a stranger because he had that kind of personality that everyone was a friend. His jobs included working at Northern New Mexico College, Rio Arriba County, and the State of New Mexico. He was part of a musical group, Grupo Zia, with his life-long friends, Freddie Sandoval, Rachel Saiz Sandoval and Dan Burke.

A rosary was recited on January 3, 2013 at the Rivera Family Funeral Home in Espanola. A second rosary was recited on January 4, 2013 at St. Thomas Catholic Church in Abiquiu. Funeral Mass was celebrated on January 5, 2013 at St. Thomas Catholic Church, where interment followed at the Abiquiu Cemetery.

To the Dominguez family-
Ramon was one of the first people I met when I moved here many years ago. He was always so friendly and kind, and I am sad for the loss of your father, brother and uncle. I heard that his funeral service was a beautiful one; I wish I could've been there but have the flu.
Blessings to all of you.

Ruben and Family: It is with great sadness and heartache to learn about your daddy/brother's death. Ramon was an awesome man. Watching you and your daddy together was like watching a showing of the Sanford and Son tv show. You guys complimented each other in every way. Your daddy touched a lot of hearts in his life. Remember, your daddy will always be close at heart because your daddy lives within you. God Bless you Ruben and to the rest of Ramon's siblings, our prayers go out to you. We love you guys!

Springtime (with videos)

"It's going to be the springtime of our lives, since our friend Ramon already finished the winter of his"

When my husband and I moved to Alcalde from Missouri in 2008, we found a "home" at Anthony's at the Delta in Espanola with Ramon, Fred, Jeff and Terry, Michael, Tomas, Anthony, Manuel, Anita, Chris, Scott, Cheryl, David, and many others. I took a Spanish class at Northern that fall. Often, before class, I'd share a drink and a laugh with Ramon. He'd help me review and taught me lots of great Spanish proverbs (and even some not-so-great, colorful expletives), too. He was always ready with a charming smile or a wise quip. We'll definitely miss this part of our New Mexico family.

In 2010, our friend Fred Manriquez passed away. Our little "family" gathered at the Delta to remember our friend. I brought my camera to share with Fred's daughter in California. Here are two videos of Ramon, singing in tribute to Fred's passing, from 2010. I hope these videos help you remember Ramon in his own words, expressions and general charm. I know we'll miss him, and we treasure our memories.

Ramon sings "Primavera" (7 min., 12 sec.):

To all the Dominguez's, a truly great treasure in New Mexico has been lost. He was such a great singer that I always loved to be around him.

Robin you are the glue that keeps the family together now keep it alive in his memory.

Ryan, Robin and Dominguez family,

Losing a dear friend on the New Year. The loss of a loved one is a pain and emptyness that will always be.

A dear friend and that is no lie, who has left me beautiful memories I will always cherish. As I shut my eyes, tears but not tears of longing sorrow - tears for a dear friend always willing to sing for others to just put happinesss within them. The great crazy jokes we shared. Share the wonderful and beautiful memories he has also left his family. Will always remember his "Monsito" look. My friend just left me good, positive, warm memories.

God Bless and my prayers are with you all.

Stephanie Reyes published a tribute .

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. This is one of the most difficult things we must face in this life. But the bible assures us at Psalms 34:18 that God is near to those broken in heart and those crushed in spirit he saves. He also promises that we will be able to see our loved ones again. Jesus own words found at John 5:28,29 tells us there will be a resurrection. He also says that soon on the earth there will be no more pain, suffering and especially death. Revelation 21:3-5 May these bible thoughts bring you comfort at this most difficult time.
