Justice For Dominick

Donation protected
I am starting this page to help find and bring my sons killer in to pay the price for the brutal  and uncalled murder of my son. The money raised will go to fund a private investigater to get information that the police dont seem to be able to. It also will go to help raise my 3 grandsons m So I want to make sure First what I am about to say is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Second Please once I post this respect me and my family give us some time. 
I am going through a parents worst nightmare. On June 10, 2023 around 1:57 AM Dominick Lee Sawyer was bruetly murdered in downtown Portland,Oregon while he sat in his car. His killer is still at large and I am not going to stop or rest until he is found. I am not getting much from the lead detective on his case what is going on.Dominick is in heaźven with both of his dads now and has left a dark cloud of sadness over me and several others. He was only twenty nine years old and an amazing father to three beautiful boys Aiyden(6), Daesyn (4), and Elias (8months), Lee Sawyer. He will forever live through them and in all of our hearts.A parent is not supposed to bury their child especially not from something like this. I keep thinking he is going to come home but in reality he won't ever again. I keep waiting for the phone to ring and hearing mama on the other end. But it's not happening.Dominick knew hundreds of people. Everyone my boy encountered they will always remember him whether you knew him one day or his 29 years.  Something he said or did in that time frame impacted you or your life, So powerfully that forever you will remember him and be affected by him. He was quite the comedian jokester and Daredevil. He has always thought he was invincible.I remember when he was around 2 years old. I found him standing on the seat of his rocking horse telling me that he was surfing so even as a small child he thought he could do anything and he did. I can't even begin to figure out how I'm going to continue day after day without him. Without hearing Mama as he walks in the door I don't know who is going to be so protective of me now to the point he would stalk me and follow me around town.I think about our relationship and how we always struggled to understand each other and how in the last 3 months of his life we finally figured out how to get the best out of the other one we were getting along better than we had in years.  . Dominick will always be with me and his sons. He seems to be making sure already that myself and their mom  knows that. My boy lived every single day for his sons every day he surprised me by the strength, love, commitment, and dedications he had as a father. The boys will struggle forever trying to understand why and what has happened to their dad.If you are or have been blessed with meeting them you will see Dominick in each of them and through their eyes.Each one of their personalities has at least 1 trait that will make you smile and laugh because you see Dominick.I'm going to ask that everyone please respect the mom and his boys, his siblings, his family and my grieving please give us some time. I am following through with his wishes and he will be cremated over the weekend.I will be taking Dominick home to Colorado next week to let those of you there say you're goodbyes. As many of you grew up with him or got the privilege of knowing him through the years we lived there. Once we return back to Oregon I will plan and announce a memorial service to have here. If anyone has questions please message me do not ask on this post I will respond as soon as I am able. I know my son was loved by hundreds of people and everyone has a million questions but please give us time to grieve the loss of my son. Thank you everyone for loving Dominick he now sees how loved he is. I love you Dominick and I am trying to figure out how to go on without you.There is not nor will ever be a way to understand or accept what has happened to you. I know for me it will take a long time probably forever to move forward without him. I just feel grateful that I have 3 boys he left me to always remember him and to have him through them. I will teach them as he would guide them with his strength and love. With all of my heart and soul i will guide them as  he would  I love you my Beautiful, funny, loving son fly with your father's and finally you have your peace.
