Reverend Domingo “Dominick” Reyes

June 2, 1960 - June 27, 2020

Rev Domingo “Dominick” Reyes Jr, 60 years old, of Middletown, NY, passed away June 27, 2020 at St Joseph Hospital. He was born in Rio Piedras, PR to Domingo Reyes Sr and Lydia Ramos on June 2, 1960. He attended High School of Art And Design and years later achieved a Doctorate in Theology. He worked as a Family Substance Awareness Counselor at North General Hospital, but God’s calling on his life led him to leave his job to become President and Senior Pastor of A New Beginning International Ministry, Inc. It started as a pantry and soup kitchen ministry to feed the homeless in East Harlem. It soon became a church where hundreds of broken souls could come and get fed not only physically but spiritually. He served the community for 28 years working closely with the 23rd & 25th precinct as Clergy Liaison and Friendly Hands as Associate Partner Advisor before retiring for health reasons. Not a man to sit idly he found a new purpose in life by joining The Middletown Fire Department as Fire Police, The Monhagen Fire Department Chaplain, NYS Middletown Fire Veterans Chaplain and The Red Cross of Northeastern NY as a public relations/logistic associate. He worked with his “boys” for over 5 years. Never had a man enjoyed more living out his life’s dream of being part of the Police and Fire Departments. He was honored in serving his community always and with a smile. His family is proud of the valor and integrity of this man of God. He lived each day with purpose and joy. Rev Dominick is survived by his wife Angelina, sons Domingo Emilio, Dominick Nicholas and daughter Veronica, his brother Edwin and sister Zulma, mother Lydia, his grandchildren Lee’na, Gianna and David. His nieces Melissa and Gabriella and his uncle Emilio. Funeral service will be held as a walk through from noon to 3pm for all who wish to say goodbye to this amazing man of faith at La Sinagoga, 115 E 125th st, NYC 10035, on Wednesday July 1, 2020. A closed, family only, service will be held following the walk thru. He will be buried July 2 at Wallkill Cemetery at 11 am.
