DOMINIC RYAN
PATRICK O’MEARA

It is with great pain and sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved son, grandson, nephew, Dominic Ryan Patrick O’Meara. 

 

Growing up, Dominic was an active, curious and imaginative boy. His grandmother often lovingly said that her goal everyday was to “tire him out”-due to his endless energy and thirst for life. He was always ready to get out and do something and forever wanted to be on the go. Dominic’s Grandpa spent a lot of time with him, taking him to and from the various activities he was involved in. 

 

He enjoyed all sorts of outdoor activities including swimming, snowboarding, biking, running, playing and going on adventures.

 

Dominic excelled in sports- especially soccer, and track and field; specifically, the 300m run and javelin. He won multiple medals and trophies for these events and succeeded in going to the track and field nationals in Montreal in 2015. 

 

Dominic was also a creative, artistic, and charismatic young man who was always coming up with hilarious and descriptive scenarios and commentaries on the fly, some of which he would even write or draw about. 

 

Being a sensitive and empathetic young man, Dominic had a way of connecting with others and making them laugh and feel good. He was especially good at entertaining senior citizens and children. He loved watching movies, and spending time with family and friends. 

 

He was also known to tease his grandparents, aunts and mother just to get a rise out them in good fun. There were even some ongoing good-natured “feuds” that had been going on so long they had become ‘tradition’. One example of this is the “joke”gifts at Christmas, just to see the persons reaction, among other things.

 

Dominic will be greatly missed; Pre-Deceased by his grandmother, Susan O’Meara (2018), survived by his grandfather-Patrick O’Meara, Aunt-Alison O’Meara, Mother-Kathleen O’Meara, great- grandmother Joyce Carnegie- Close Family Friend -John Courchene-Father- Robbie white, Aunt -Alexis white,cousin Abigail Asham; and many other great aunts, great uncles, cousins, second cousins and many close friends.

 

In lieu of flowers:

 

To honour Dominic, memorial donations can be made to The Link, Youth and Family Supports.

 

Or to the Eagle Wolf Sundance and / or The Emergency Pet Care funds at R.A.Y-Resource Assistance for Youth.

A celebration of life will take place at The First Unitarian Universalist Church of Winnipeg at 603 Wellington Crescent, March 24th 2023 from 2:00-4:00PM.

Wish we had got a chance to reconnect after we became very close in Milner.. we met a year before at the sfx pits but then got super close in there. You had my back instantly and I’ve never experienced something like that before, like the second day I knew him a guy tried to fight me and instead dom went in the bathroom where the guy was waiting for me and he stood up for me and nothing ended up happening thanks to Dom.. We had made plans to travel to Vancouver and possibly rent a place out there as well together, I’m sorry I didn’t reach out more I never would have thought you were going through those thoughts and I feel some kind of guilt without you here now and I just really wish we had a chance to be friends again in the real world. Honestly since I got out I have been struggling a lot and not reaching out to anyone I just found out what happened shortly over a week ago when I tried to text you again to hangout. This is hitting me really hard and idk how to deal with the grief but I was having similar thoughts before I found out and since I’ve known I’ve been trying to force myself to better myself and life but no matter how much I try to distract myself with going to the gym or whatever it is it just doesn’t feel right without you here especially with how good our friendship is and we never got a chance to reconnect again. You were a true friend when we were in a position where there was lots of stress etc. you sat across from me every single meal. Always kept me company during the day just laughing and we were both super excited that we got a chance to connect in there and realized we had known a lot of the same people from growing up.. This is definitely hitting me super hard I’ve never lost someone the same age as me and someone who was such a genuine guy we never got into one argument it was just all laughs and smiles lol, definitely never going to forgot you will be grieving this for life I just hope it gets a little bit easier and that we can reconnect again some day hopefully. Love you Dom.

Fly high Dominic ❤You've left behind a lot of broken hearts, but no one will ever forget you. I only knew you for a few years but you stole a piece of my heart. I will never forget the caring and compassionate young man who grabbed me in a big hug and patted my back to console me on the death of our cat.  ❤

Awe my boy, I wish you didn't have to go home so soon. I had so much to teach you about this spiritual journey called life. I remember the time I let you drive my car. You had a great time behind the wheel of my little red spots 🚗. You'll always be missed by your family and friends little, big brother ❤️ 💙 ♥️

Dominic, I can’t put into words how much I’m going to miss your big brown eyes and infectious smile. You may not be here right now but that’ll never change the impact you’ve had on this world and many people. You are my first love, and lots of other things. We never let anyone completely get in the way of that. I loved you just as much as you loved me and I hope you know this… Thank you so much for giving me the honour of having your family as my own, being close with Auntie Alison and seeing her as my aunty. You were so loved and always will be. Until we meet again, my heart will always belong to you. Ball in paradise my boy and watch over us xoxo

My boy my boy my boy, I miss you like crazy and I never thought in a million years I would be writing this. You were my best friend and I thought  you me and your mom were all going to grow old together and that you would outlive us and have a family of your own. And although I guess that wasn’t in the cards, I do know we will be together again one day and I will keep going knowing that. Until then fly high my boy. Tell Grandma I love and miss her so much too, and also Randy if you guys are chillin’ 😁❤ Fly high my Boy. I love you always  Auntie Ali Ps) we are watching What’s eating Gilbert Grape when we meet again lol. They better have that movie readily available in the celestial universe lol. Love ya Arnie! 😁Jk I love you Dominic ❤

I remember the day you were born like it was yesterday, I was so blessed to have such a beautiful son. I love you and I miss you Dominic.
