Dominic Paciano Ramirez was born on August 21, 2025, in Waco, Texas, and passed away on March 23, 2026, in Temple, Texas. A visitation will begin at 4:00pm, Friday, March 27, 2026, with a service following at 5:30pm at Grace Gardens Funeral Home. 

Dominic was a fighter from the very beginning. Born at just one pound, he quite literally came into this world swinging, and from that moment on, he gave his all each and every day. In his seven months, Dominic watched the world around him with bright, curious eyes, taking in each moment in his own special way. He was incredibly expressive and always made his feelings known—whether it was a stern side eye when woken too early or a quick swat of the hand when something didn’t suit him. But above all, he was always smiling, happy to see and hear his family.

Among his favorite things were being held close by his mother, who never missed a chance to steal a little sniff of him, and listening to his father sing “You’ll Be in My Heart” by Phil Collins. In these sweet, tender moments, he showed just how deeply he could love and be loved.

Though his time was short, Dominic’s impact will last a lifetime. His family is deeply thankful for the time they were given with him and for the outpouring of love and support from family, friends, and all who walked alongside them during this journey. Continued thoughts and prayers are appreciated as they carry his memory forward.

He is survived by his loving parents, David and Brandi Ramirez; his paternal grandparents, Maria and David Ramirez Sr.; and his maternal grandparents, Stacy and Joshua Leija. He is now reunited in heaven with his paternal and maternal great-grandparents.
