Our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Jose Anselmo Dominguez, age 84, passed away unexpectedly on July 23, 2025, at his residence in Las Vegas, New Mexico. Jose was born to Rafael Dominguez and Aurelia Altamirano on February 3, 1941, in Ciudad Guerrero, Chihuahua, Mexico. He had been a resident of Las Vegas, New Mexico for the past 45 years.

He worked at Barela's Timber for 10 years and at Allsup's for 11 years, where he enjoyed meeting people and made lasting friendships before retiring. He loved Spanish music, being outdoors, landscaping, and spending his mornings drinking coffee while scratching his lottery tickets. He was a strong and determined man, when he set his mind to something, he did it. He was loved deeply and will be missed dearly by all who knew him.
