Jerald "Jerry" Alan Dominicak

Jerald “Jerry” Alan Dominicak, 67, of Sioux City, IA, passed away August 25, 2026. Per his wishes, there will be no services at this time. Arrangements are under the direction of Waterbury Funeral Service of Sioux City.

Jerry was born on March 6, 1959 in Mitchell, SD to Harry and Leila (Butts) Dominicak. He grew up in Mitchell and developed a passion for riding show horses, and eventually became a trainer. For 30 years, Jerry dedicated himself to the Siouxland Humane Society as the Shelter Director. Three decades of caring deeply about this organization, the animals who came through the doors, the community he served and the people who worked alongside him. Jerry helped shape the Siouxland Humane Society into what it is today. He led them through challenges and changes, celebrated the victories, built lasting relationships throughout the community and remained a steady presence through it all. But Jerry’s impact goes far beyond the walls of the shelter. He was a huge supporter of the Sioux City Musketeers, Bandits and Explorers. He was also a big advocate for Pride week and the LGBTQ Community. He enjoyed spending time with friends, going to car races, and four wheeling in the Black Hills.

Memorials may be made to the Siouxland Humane Society in Jerry’s honor.
