Dominick Anderson

Dominick James Henry Anderson, affectionately known by all who loved him as "Nick," entered eternal rest on July 20, 2026, at the age of 40. Born on April 29, 1986, to Vincent and Shelia Anderson. Nick attended E.C. Glass High School before continuing his education at Liberty University. Throughout his years as a student, he formed lasting friendships and embraced opportunities that helped shape the man he became.

Nick’s world revolved around his family. His beloved daughter, Aaliyah, was the light of his life, and his lifelong partner, Ashley, made his world complete with her unwavering love and companionship. He also carried the memory of his precious daughter, Ava, in his heart every day, cherishing her life and holding her close in spirit. Nick was overjoyed to be preparing to welcome another baby girl, Airis, and looked forward to embracing the opportunity to once again experience the joy of being a devoted girl dad. His love for his daughters was immeasurable, and they were his greatest pride and deepest joy.

Nick was a person of deep passion and effortless charisma. Known for his sharp eye for style, he took immense pride in his wardrobe, especially his fresh sneaker collection, and always stepped out looking his absolute best. An avid sports enthusiast, Nick loved the competitive energy, camaraderie, and excitement of the game, whether he was playing, watching, or discussing the latest matchups with friends.

Above all else, Nick was defined by his huge heart and his unwavering love for his family and friends. He had a special, natural gift with children; he adored them, and he dedicated endless energy to lifting them up. Nick made it a point to encourage every young person in his life to dream bigger, work harder, and strive to be their best self. He saw the potential in everyone and wasn’t afraid to push them to see it in themselves.

Nick possessed a magnetic personality and a genuinely unforgettable presence. He simply never met a stranger, leaving a positive, lasting impression on absolutely everyone who crossed his path. To know Nick was to feel welcomed, seen, and inspired.

Nick was preceded in death by his paternal Grandparents, James & Alberta Anderson; maternal Grandparents, Henry & Jean Rose; Brother, Carlos Rose; and Daughter, Ava Anderson.
