Mr. Dominey was born October 13, 1934 in the Shawnee Prairie Community of Angelina County, Texas to the late Mattie Bell (Poland) and Victor Dominey, and died Thursday, April 18, 2024 at his residence.

Herman graduated from Kingsville High School and received his Mechanical Engineering degree from Kingsville A&I, which is now Texas A&M Kingsville. After graduating from college, he served his country in the United States Air Force, where he was stationed all over Europe. He opened Dominey’s Garage in Huntington in 1972, which he owned and operated for more than 40 years. While growing up, Herman worked at his dad’s service station, where he met Emily. She would stop by for gas every day, whether she needed it or not. As the gas pumped, the sparks flew, and he married the love of his life.
