DOMINICK GEORGE CLARKE 66, of Kingwood, TX, died July 2. Born March 20, 1947, in McKeesport, he was the son of A.T. Dolly and Doris (Clarke) Dominick and the husband of Leslie (Roolf) Dominick. A graduate of Port Vue Liberty High School, Clarke earned a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering at Penn State and his Masters at Webster University. He worked at Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, and acquired three patents for Union Carbide. He served in the U.S. Navy as a F4 fighter pilot, setting a record for night carrier landings, and served as an instructor in Air Combat Maneuvering. Clarke retired from Continental Airlines as a Captain Pilot. An avid runner, he played adult soccer, even after lung cancer, and coached his children every year in baseball, soccer and basketball.

Survivors also include children, Shannon (Jorge) Mariscal and G. Clarke, Jr. (Stacy); grandson, Noah Perseus Dominick, born last year to Clarke's everlasting delight; brother, Todd of Pittsburgh; aunt, Elizabeth Kessling; cousins, Sally Ann Kessling and Bill Kessling; and many, many cousins, nieces and nephews too numerous to mention.

dayo dr. rodney b. 43, of mcm...
DAYO DR. RODNEY B. 43, of McMurray, on July 5, 2013, at Family Hospice and Palliative Care. He was born on July 7, 1969. He was the fifth of the six children born to the late Drs. Mateo and Zinnia (Aliac Brawner) Dayo, in Pagadian City, Philippines. Dr. Dayo married his beautiful wife, Lisa (Poulin) Dayo in 2002 and they had their first child, Mia, in 2003 and their second child, Jack, in 2007. Besides his wife and children, he is survived by brothers and sisters, Pag-asa Brawner Dayo, Almabel (Todd) Dayo Stewart, Anafe (Dravon) Dayo Paniagua, Dr. Mateo (Jennifer) Brawner Dayo, III, Jet (Fransha) Brawner Dayo; his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Richard and Marilyn Poulin; and several nieces and nephews. In 1974, the family moved to Guyana, South America and later they moved to Jersey City, NJ. By this time, the family had grown to eight members. The family lived in a one bedroom apartment until his parents could afford a larger apartment. His parents, both physicians, completed the necessary licensing requirements to practice medicine in the United States. They then moved to a three-bedroom home in Craigsville, WV in 1978. In 1979, the family moved to New Haven, WV and they made this their permanent home. Dr. Dayo graduated from Wahama High School in Mason, WV, as did all of his siblings. There he played football and earned his nickname The Gentle Giant. He graduated from West Virginia University, Morgantown, with a degree in pharmacy in 1992. There he formed a bond with a set of lifetime friends. He then went on to continue his education by obtaining a degree in medicine from the West Virginia Osteopathic School of Medicine in 1998. His professional career began in 1999 after he completed his clinical internship in West Virginia University Hospitals. Originally he pursued a career in general surgery like his father. He started his surgical residency in the Marshfield Clinic, Marshfield, WI. In 2000, Dr. Dayo decided to follow his passion for anesthesiology, which stemmed from his pharmacy background. He joined the University of Pittsburgh Mercy Hospital Anesthesiology residency in 2000. There he met his future business partners, Drs. Yesh and Brinda Navalgund. This was also when he began to date his future wife, Lisa Poulin. All three completed their residencies in 2003. Drs. Dayo and Dr. Yesh Navalgund went on to complete their fellowships in West Virginia University Hospitals. While completing his fellowship, he continued to work as a pharmacist in order to support his family. Drs. Dayo and Navalgund made a pact to complete their fellowships and start a private pain management practice. They formed a group named DNA, Dayo Navalgund Associates. With no experience in private practice and no experience in business, they relied solely on their faith in God and their faith in each other to reach their dream. With personalities as individual as each of their backgrounds, they set out to meet this challenge. It was this dynamic balance that allowed them to succeed in their goals. Dr. Dayo was instrumental in the structure and culture of the business. His relentless demands to maintain trust and integrity within the group is the foundation by which the group practices today. Since the humble beginnings of the practice, Dr. Dayo has been instrumental in its growth to six locations and the involvement in multiple surgical centers. Prior to his diagnosis of a brain tumor in 2010, Dr. Dayo had yet another dream he wished to pursue. He believed that the medical community was lacking a central location to train and update physicians on current technology advancements. He once again teamed up with his business partner, Dr. Yesh Navalgund, to create Pavilion X. Pavilion X is a world class training facility located in downtown Pittsburgh. It was designed by Drs. Dayo and Navalgund. This facility is dedicated to the training and further education of physicians and surgeons of every specialty. The Pavilion X began operations in April of 2011, and it continues to be one of the most successful and popular training centers in the nation. Besides his helping others through his medical career, he was always trying to assist anyone who asked for help. He went out of his way to help his family and friends. He had an open door policy at his home. Everyone was welcome at all times. He had a strong commitment to his family. He loved his wife, Lisa, and his children, Mia and Jack dearly. His priority in life was making his children's dreams come true during his short time with them. He wanted to spend as much time as possible with them in order to learn their personalities and to engage them in his interests as well as their interests. Their well being and future were always foremost in his mind. After he was diagnosed with cancer, he used his time and condition to become a better husband, a better father, a better brother, and a better friend. Dr. Dayo spent his leisure time as a musician. He was an accomplished vocalist and pianist. He loved the city of Pittsburgh, and he was an avid Steelers fan. His friend and colleague, Dr. Yesh Navalgund stated that "Dr. Rodney Brawner Dayo did not allow his life to dictate his path. He made his path and forced life to follow. By surrounding himself with people that shared his vision, he was able to make the impossible possible." There will be no visitation. Family and friends are welcomed at his Mass of Christian Burial on Tuesday, July 9, 2013, in St. Benedict the Abbott Church, 120 Abington Dr., McMurray, PA 15317 at 3 o'clock p.m. Graveside Services will be held on Wednesday, July 10, 2013, in Sunrise Memorial Gardens, New Haven, WV. at 2 o'clock p.m. Memorial contributions may be made to Family Hospice and Palliative Care, 50 Moffett St., Pittsburgh PA. 15243 or American Cancer Society.
