DOMINIC WONG Obituary

Wong, USAF, (Ret.)
MAJ. DOMINIC NICHOLAS WONG, USAF, (RET.)
November 18, 1974 November 30, 2019
Dominic Nicholas Wong, beloved husband, father, son and brother, passed away November 30, 2019, in his Colorado Springs, Colorado home, with his wife by his side. Dominic had been bravely battling stage IV colon cancer for over three years.
Dominic was born in Kingston, Jamaica on November 18, 1974. He moved to Orlando, Florida in 1980, and graduated from Colonial High School in 1992. Dominic earned his Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from the University of Central Florida in 1999, and was a huge UCF football fan. He joined the United States Air Force in 2001, and loved serving his country. While serving in the Air Force, he completed his Master's Degree in Business Administration from Colorado State University in 2011. He served in various assignments in the Air Force and Air Force Reserve, as an Acquisitions and Space Officer in Massachusetts, New Mexico and Colorado. Dominic retired on July 28, 2019.
Dominic loved watching college football, playing soccer, food, traveling, but mostly, he loved his family. Dominic fought cancer with never-ending hope and courage. He never stopped fighting to be with his family.
Dominic is survived by his wife of twelve years, Lynn; and his two children that he was most proud of, Collin Nicholas (7) and Juliana Marie (5); father, Thomas Wong, of Orlando, Florida; mother, Marie Lowe, of Orlando, Florida; and sister, Giana (Sam) Park, and their children, Nathaniel and Penelope, of West Hartford, Connecticut; and many other family and friends he loved unconditionally.

Whenever I would mention my Gators, Dom would bring up UCF. He's the first person I think of whenever I see UCF football on TV. You are missed, Dom. You and your family were lights to those around you. I look forward to our reunion.

Dom was a fighter who always had a smile and a friendly greeting for a friend. I will miss seeing him. Lynn was a pillar of strength and grace through it all -- a model for others. I pray for peace for his family.
