“We are saddened to our core with the tragic passing of our dear friend Domino,” Stacy said. “The world lost a legend - a sweet, funny, bigger-than-life man, and heaven is a lot louder and a lot brighter today.”
Domino was 61 years old, according to Inside Radio.
Stacy said he would miss his constant radio conversations with Domino, calling him his right-hand man and best friend in life, yet that no one would miss the beloved host as much as his daughter, Zoe.
“Our hearts are broken, and we pray that Zoe finds solace in the memories of her amazing father, who lived only for her since the day she was born” Stacy said. “You were her world as she was yours. Watching you with Zoe was an inspiration on what fathers should be like and I admire the incredible dad you always were. I will always carry you in my heart and will be here for Zoe always. Rest easy, my friend, and keep that mic on.”
Domino’s career in radio began at a station close to where he grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado, followed by overnights at another station in Fargo, North Dakota, before more jobs came and went in Arkansas, New York, Georgia, California, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Texas, Inside Radio reported.
