Fred Dominguez, 76, of Fairview, NJ, passed away on Sunday December 10, 2023.

He is the beloved husband of Barbara Dominguez (nee Cruz), loving father of Barbara Vergel, her husband Christian, and J.E. Sile Dominguez II. Fred is the cherished grandfather of Christian Gabriel Flores II. In tribute to Fred Dominguez’s impactful work at Rising Tide Capital for more than 12 years, and in acknowledgement of the sweeping legacy he leaves behind, this fund aims to uplift the Dominguez family during this difficult time.

Fred dedicated over a decade of his life to the mission and team at Rising Tide Capital, joining us in 2010 as the first Spanish Language CBA Instructor and Facilitator and then as the organization's Credit to Capital Specialist.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Fred stood as a relentless advocate for the Latino community, radiating positivity and offering kind words to all. His enduring legacy lies in the immeasurable impact he had on those fortunate enough to have walked alongside him.

We thank you for any measure of support you offer to those who love him and offer our deepest gratitude for your kindness.

The Rising Tide Capital Family
