Domingo was born on September 24, 1939, to Teodoro Espinosa and Candida Reyna Espinosa in Edinburg, Texas. Domingo grew up in Edinburg and was active in FFA during high school. He was the 1st Hispanic FFA President in 1959. After high school, Domingo continued his education at Pan American, where he studied sociology.

After retiring, he continued his second career as a Health Inspector for the Hidalgo County Health Department. Domingo loved to watch the Dallas Cowboys and enjoyed watching old Westerns.

After retirement, Domingo and Ofelia were able to travel. They enjoyed spending time with family and traveling to visit his daughters and grandchildren. Along the way, they made frequent stops at casinos in Louisiana and Oklahoma, always hopeful for the big win at the slots. Domingo had a drive for success.
