Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

It's been ten years, but today it seems like yesterday. I have feelings of anger and disbelief, but the strongest one being saddness. I only got to really know you when Kev and I started dating, but I knew immediately what a wonderful person you were and why everyone loved to be around you. I remember vividly the barbecue we had at our apartment in Lodi. You were in the yard telling stories, like only you could tell them, with about 20 people sitting around you laughing hysterically! What an entertainer! You were one in a million and had a heart of gold. I feel very lucky to have known you! We miss you terribly!

Bro

Its been almost a year since I have posted to you. I don't know, as time goes by, common sense would say that the hurt goes away, or at least gets a bit less intense, I think that is BS. While I am able to put it aside and live my life, and boy do I have some life. I have a great wife and two of the most fantastic children ever born. I just wish for one second, I could be able to see you hold them or interact with them. They need you in their life just like I still do. A a kid and a young man growing up by your side, you were my everything, literally my everything.
You had such a golden touch, everyone just loved you everywhere you went. It definitely is a trait that I wish I had, but clearly don't hehe.
Ten years later, while I am able to compartmentalize the hurt inside of me, I hate when it creeps out. it is still so strong, as intense and as crazy as when I first saw you in the ER. To this day I am devastated that you are not with me anymore. Maybe it is selfish, but I don't care really. I know you are with me in everything I do and I feel your guidance at times, but I just wish for one second I could see you, hear you, touch you,, anything. I miss you so much and I just want you to know that I will love you always.

I miss you my brother

I read about this on JClist and felt I just had to say thank you. What a crazy world, but men like officer Dom make it saner.

Dom,
It's taken me a long time (about 9 years)to post this...you worked in housing with my Uncle Frank "Slim" Grom...but first & most important you were my "Monday Night Closing Cop"....I would keep the fryer & grill on for our Mozzarella Sticks & Flank Steak Sandwiches...Remember you would always say "Debbie I'll start my diet tomorrow" Love me for who I am" I so did Dominick..I'll never forget the day when we were down the Sand Bar & you introduced me to your future wife..... Then I got the news that you were doing what you always do...keeping the peace....then you were taken from us.....from those scumbags..for the first time in my life I was embarassed to say i was part Filipino...they took my friend away...you don't even know that I always visit you..my father my buddy..my pal..knew how I felt about you & knew how mad I was that they got away with hurting you..So to you Dominick the Teddy Bear with the smile & Daddy..please take care of my friend...with the big gentle smile....all my love & prayers to the Infantes family..xoxo

our heroism and service is honored today, the ninth anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

I pray for solace for all those who love and miss you for I know that both their pain and pride are forever. I am so sorry that you and your loved ones were denied justice in this world.

Rest In Peace

Jude is doing fantastic! The day Erik and I went for his surgery we were in a waiting room with a huge Monarch Butterfly on the glass. No other room had one. Thanks for the sign. Gone never forgotten.

Hey bro

its been a while since I have posted to you on here. My life has turned out so good as you can probably see. I am sitting in the hospital looking at Jude recovering from his surgery and I get flashbacks of watching you in your final hours. The thought of it still eats me up. I ask you to please be with Jude because we need all the help we can get with getting him all recovered.
Even though I cannot see you I know you are by my side, I just wish I could feel your hand on my shoulder just one more time. You left us too soon, please continue the support you have always given me and please help my son through this. I wish you knew how much I missed you.

God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain; but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.

I am truly saddened that the animals that took Officer Infantes' life were let off so easily....though they will ultimately have to answer for their actions.

Rest in peace.

We found out one of the babies is a BOY! I am over the moon for Erik that he will get to have a son. The other baby wouldn't show us yet lol. We wish you were here to share this time with us. I know in my heart you are organizing this from heaven for us. Our son will carry your name the greatest honor for us.

As our Department prepares itself for another Line of Duty Death for Detective Marc DiNardo, another nice guy gone too soon, I'm reminded of the anniversary of your passing too soon to the other side Dom and I miss you. Your smiling face on the photo chosen for this site is how I remember you best. I know you'll greet Marc as only another cop can and may the perpetual light keep shining on you and all those who have served and given their all. God rest Dom.
