John Elton Dominy

John Elton Dominy, 84, passed away peacefully at his home on December 1, 2025.   He was born on October 4, 1941, to Joseph Elton Dominy and Oretha Williamson Dominy, who preceded him in death.   He was also preceded in death by his sister, Louise Green Pinkham.

John is survived by his devoted wife of 58 years, Linda Beacham Dominy; his daughter, Brandi (Brian) Barker of Chattanooga; and his treasured grandson, Jack Barker.   His presence, kindness, and steady love will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

A lifelong resident of Dublin until moving to Chattanooga in 2020, John graduated from Dublin High School in 1959.   He began his career with Cotton Producers shortly after graduation and later retired from Southern States after 48 dedicated years as a seed buyer. Throughout his long career, he formed lasting friendships and earned the respect of colleagues across the region.

John was a hardworking and loving husband, father, and “Gdaddy.”  He was a faithful member of Pine Forest Methodist Church.  Those who knew him well recognized his passion for maintaining a beautiful yard. He could often be found on weekends riding his John Deere mower, picking up limbs, or trimming shrubbery.    His friendly nature meant he never met a stranger.

Funeral services will be held on Sunday, December 7, at 2 p.m. in the Mary Whitaker Townsend Memorial Chapel at Townsend Funeral Home with Reverend Brett Maddocks and Reverend Kim Dixon officiating.  The family will receive friends from 1 to 2 p.m., prior to the service. Pallbearers will be Ted Green, Chad Green, Richard Green, Dr. Andy Williamson, Perry Williamson, and Dray Pope. Burial will follow at Dublin Memorial Gardens.

John will be remembered for his devotion to family, his strong work ethic, and the warmth he brought to everyone he met.   His legacy of love and service will continue in the lives of those he cherished.   

His family is truly grateful for his caregiver, Tiffany Burchard, and Gentiva Hospice.
