Dominic Arthur Femino, Jr., passed away with family by his side at the age of 79 years on March 26, 2026, reuniting with his beloved wife of forty-three years, Beverly Ann Femino.

Nick was born on March 16, 1947, and raised in Salem, Massachusetts. He was the son of Dominic Arthur Femino, Sr., and Anna Maria Femino. He was an alumnus of Bowdoin College, where he played varsity football as a freshman in college and made “All-East” in later years. He spent his time in the army as a JAG lawyer. He came to Virginia because he was transferred to Fort Eustis in Newport News. He later voluntarily moved to Vint Hill Farm Station, where he was the chief counsel. Then a few years later, he and Beverly bought his farm and started raising his animals. He even had a calf named Wilson that thought Dominic was her father. He later worked and retired as the Deputy Chief Command Counsel of Army Material. His favorite pastime was playing the harmonica, and he even sat down with Charlie McCoy. He had a love for raising farm animals, going gold panning, and studying the life and writings of Nathaniel Hawthorne.

His work has changed people’s lives and made our soldiers’ lives safer and easier. He dedicated most of his life to his family. With everything that Dominic accomplished, he was given the priceless opportunity to donate a portion of his liver to his brother. The amazing amount of love that he shared with his friends, coworkers and family was something special and priceless. He was a man of duty, love, and honor. He was greatly loved by his coworkers and those who knew him. He had a love that was so powerful it lasted throughout generations. The one thing is clear: his family, kids, granddaughter, and friends will love him to the end of the earth. He was loving, caring, gracious, and a hard worker. He was the man that lent a helping hand to his family without being asked. He loved everyone unconditionally, wholeheartedly, with everything he had. His smile and hugs every time you saw him were infectious, and he will be deeply missed.

He was predeceased by his cherished wife, Bevely Ann Femino, whom he missed dearly and loved equivalently since her passing in 2018. Dominic Arthur Femino, Jr., is survived by his oldest son, Anthony Carmine Femino, and his wife, Stephanie Ann Femino; by his son Thomas Stephen Femino, his wife, Shalise Maria Forti, and granddaughter, Ilithyia Beverly Forti Femino.
