Dominic's grandfather presented the memorial talk and said the teenager was full of life and love.
"Where do I even start with this kid? He was his grandmother's shadow...his aunt Angie's little goober. He was him mom's peanut. He was a kid with an infectious laugh, a bright smile, and a kind heart," said Gene Hall, Dominic's grandfather.
