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.
