Domingo Aguirre Villalovos

Domingo Aguirre Villalovos was born August 31, 1952 in Taft Texas, to Santiago and Cira (Aguirre) Villalovos. Domingo, age 59, passed away with his immediate family by his side on June 29, 2012 at Marian Medical Center after a year-long battle with gastric cancer.
Mingo, as he was known amongst family and friends, is survived by his wife: Juanita, four children: Belinda, Domingo Jr. (Sonny), Victor and Vincent, mother: Cira Aguirre Villalovos, three brothers: Carmen, Santiago and Robert, and 20 grand children.
He was preceded in death by his father Santiago Villalovos in 1978.
Mingo was a cherished member of this community. He moved to Nipomo in 1966 at age 9. Mingo attended Nipomo Elementary, Dana Junior High, and Arroyo Grande High School where he met his wife of 39 years, Juanita Nunez. Mingo joined the Marines in 1972 where he received the rifle expert award.
Mingo was proudly employed with Holy/Union Sugar for 16 years and more recently employed at the Chumash Casino from 1996-2012. In his 16 years at the casino and the sugar plant he made many wonderful and supportive friends.
In his lifetime he enjoyed many hobbies such as painting, welding, horseshoes and spending time with his kids; but most will remember him on the softball field. In nearly 40 years of playing softball he achieved many accomplishments; his most recent includes back to back senior world championship titles. It was not uncommon to find Mingo on the softball field 5-6 nights a week. He was most proud of playing with all of his kids as well as his extended softball family.
Domingo touched many people with his generosity, humor and willingness to help others. He has left many people with cherished memories. He will be sorely missed by many.
Memorial Services will be held Thursday, July 5, 2012 at 3:00pm at Dudley-Hoffman Mortuary in Santa Maria, a celebration of Domingo will follow from 5 - 7:00pm at the Minami Community Center.
Juanita and Family would like to thank all of you who have been so supportive throughout this last year. Your kindness and generosity have meant so much to the family.
