In Loving Memory of Demi Ruben Dominguez and Malakhi De Leon.

Demi was born June 10, 1995 to her late father Ruben and is survived by her loving mother, Tracy Dominguez.
Malakhi Ruben De Leon was born April 19, 2019 to his late mother, Demi Dominguez and is survived by his loving father, Ruben "Xavier" De Leon.

Demi graduated from Bakersfield High School in 2014 and graduated from Bakersfield College in 2017. Demi will receive a Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology from California State University, Bakersfield on May 24, 2019. Demi was engaged to be married to her fiancé, Xavier De Leon.
Malakhi Ruben De Leon passed peacefully in the arms of his loving father, surrounded by close family on April 19, 2019. Even though Malakhi did not live long, he left behind a family that will dearly love and miss him.

People gravitated to Demi's outgoing personality. She was admired for her big beautiful smile, larger than life personality, and fierce independence. She had an incredible ability to always be present, to listen, to cry with you, and wanted to have a hand in changing your life. She was a passionate follower of Christ, always ready to pray, so full of joy, and unconditional love. She had an incredible sense of humor, loved to dance, and she was so much FUN! Her laugh was contagious and genuine; and she was an amazing Aunt to all of her nieces and nephews.

Demi enjoyed working with children with special needs. She was a Behavioral Therapist employed at EasterSeals. She had a mission to teach others, make a difference, help her clients develop their skills, and ensure that they felt like they belonged. She really thought that she could change the world-one person at a time.

Demi was a symbol of hard work, determination, passion, and success. She was a deep and critical thinker with incredible insight. She had clear direction and never had a non-productive thought. She was driven, balanced, and always improving herself. Demi had the motivation to push harder and further than ever imagined. Her goal was to apply for graduate school as she aspired to become a School Psychologist.

Demi lived a tremendous life. Thank you Demi for always walking in with a smile on your face. Thank you for treating others with genuine kindness and love. Thank you for being a wonderful part of our lives. We felt your power, we felt your love. We will be forever thankful for the ways you've impacted our lives.

Proceeds have gone to to funeral costs, which will also include with incurring legal fees, and the preeclampsia foundation.
