Mr. Dominy was born January 28, 1950, to Cletus and Lois Scoggins Dominy in Seville, GA. He was a faithful member of Faith Baptist Church for many years. Mr. Dominy loved spending time outdoors, fishing, gardening and especially the month of November when he and his wife, Sanora spent the entire month camping in Florence Marina State Park. He worked with the Georgia Department of Agriculture as an Inspector where he retired after almost 30 years of service. His selfless acts even followed his death, as he donated his corneas to help others in need. He loved spending time with his family, but especially his grandkids and great-grandkids. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by four brothers, J.E. Dominy, Boyce Dominy, Tom Dominy, and Don Dominy; and three sisters, Laverne White, Barbara Gibbs, and Janise Connor.
