He was a husband, father to eight children and eight children in law, grandfather to twenty-three, and great grandfather to two. Wife: Thao Thi Phan Daughters: Xuan Thanh Dang, Tuyet Anh Thi Dang, Phuong Thanh Dang, Lien Thanh Dang, and Tuyet Nga Dang Sons: Tam Minh Dang, Hiep Minh Dang, and Hoa Minh Dang Grandchildren: Tina Nguyen, Kenny Nguyen, Lisa Lien, Kathy Tuyet Oanh Dao, Johnny Dao, Nancy Dao, Julie Pham, Tommy Dang, David Lam, Karen Lam, Alan Lam, Danee Dang, Brandon Dang, Nina Dang, Dylan Dang, Linda Dang, Darren Tran, Chelsea Tran, Giselle Tran, Evan Tran, Aiden Tran, Addelyn Tran, and Maddelyn Tran Great grandchildren: Jenna Torres and Elena Torres When he was in Vietnam, he ran his own medical clinic as a pharmacist and nurse practitioner.
He treated the entire village and wounded soldiers during the Vietnam War. He never turned anyone down without money. Aside from being a medical clinic owner, he also was a City Council Member in Quan 8, Hung Phu, Ho Chi Minh.
He was in charge of governing issues to improve the city where he resided. Although he was well respected by his community and had a prestigious career, he wanted to bring his family to America to pursue a better life with opportunities. Because of his hard work and resilience, his entire family was able to migrate to America in 1987.
He was the backbone and strength that carried everyone to start a brand new life. He was a strong role model to his family and pushed his family to work hard. He is the reason why his family is successful in life.
He taught everyone that education opens opportunities and so he never missed any of his children or grandchildren’s graduation ceremonies. He lived his life with an open heart and always greeted everyone with a kind smile. If he did not have much, he had everything because he had his family.
He loved each and every one of his family members dearly and always wanted everyone to be together and happy. In his later life, he enjoyed painting, taking care of his garden, and most importantly, taking care of his wife. He will truly be missed by all but his memories and spirits will live on through all the people’s lives he has touched.
The entire family wishes to extend our sincere thank you to everyone through this time. Condolences through forms of flowers will be appreciated and may be sent to Alameda Family, Funeral and Cremation (address above). We want to kindly decline monetary gifts.
