Mr. Dominique Marckell “Nique” Bush was born in Flint, Michigan, on July 23, 1991, and has met his appointed call with our risen Savior, Jesus Christ. Dominique, a loving son, truly adored his family and especially kickin’ it with his brothers and his cousins, the Bush girls. As described by his brothers, he was strong willed, but very loving, caring, confident, suave, artistic, and real. He will be well remembered for his humorous disposition. Dominique loved to make his family laugh. He had a passion for the game of basketball, he meticulously dressed in layers, always including his basketball shorts, so he was ready at all times for a pickup game. As he said, “You will never know when it’s time to hoop.” Dominique was also a bowler (following in his family’s footsteps) and was a former member of the Flint Senate’s TNBA Junior Bowling program. He attended Flint Community Schools and was last enrolled at Zimmerman Center.
