Page family copes with two tragedies in days

Posted

A Page family needs help from the community after being hit by a pair of devastating tragedies.
Twelve-year-old Dominic Bravo passed away last week after succumbing to injuries he sustained in a car wreck while traveling with his sister. The wreck occurred on I-15 inside the Las Vegas city limits. According to reports, the wreck occurred after their vehicle was rear-ended by a tow truck. Dominic was taken to a Las Vegas hospital where he was alive but unresponsive. He remained in a coma until he died the following day.
This tragedy occurred only five days after his father Johnny Bravo suffered a stroke and was lifeflighted to the St. George Regional Hospital for treatment. Several family members gathered at the St. George hospital to be with him and wish him well.

After the visit, Dominic, one of his sisters and the sister’s boyfriend traveled to California to return the daughter’s boyfriend to work. Dominic and the sister were on their way back to St. George to spend more time with their father when they became involved in the car wreck that ultimately took Dominic’s life.
Most of the family was able to say goodbye to Dominic before he passed away, including his father who was still in intensive care at the St. George hospital. The staff of St. George Regional Medical Center arranged special transport for Johnny from St. George to Las Vegas, which included a nurse to monitor Johnny during transport.
Johnny and his wife Sabrina Alger both work at Big John’s Texas Barbecue.
A GoFundMe account has been set up to help defer medical and funeral costs. If you’d like to donate go to www.gofundme.com/qu6ry-dominic.
