Axel Vong Obituary
Axel Edward Vong
October 14, 1990 - April 19, 2022
Axel Edward Vong died unexpectedly on April 19, 2022, in The Dalles, Oregon. He was born in Corvallis, Oregon, in 1990 and attended Harding Elementary School, Linus Pauling Middle School, and Corvallis High School, class of 2009. He graduated from the University of Oregon in 2013 with a B.A. in Humanities and earned a Master's Certificate in GIS at Oregon State University in 2019.
Axel worked in Seattle for the Seattle Mariners, at the Upper Deck in the Corvallis Sports Park, and as a postal carrier for USPS in The Dalles, Oregon.
Axel loved music in all forms; playing it, listening to it, and finding new bands to follow. He learned to play the guitar in middle school and played throughout his life. He also played drums and bass guitar, always willing to fill in for a jam session.
Axel loved basketball and soccer and was a lifelong Blazers and Arsenal fan. He enjoyed art, archeology, shoes, was a Lego enthusiast, and was an excellent cook. Axel was easy-going, generous, kind, and had many loving friends and family members.
He is survived by his parents, Rick and Ann Vong; his brothers Ivar and Leif; his girlfriend Tiffany, and a large extended family.
A celebration of life will be held on May 14, 2022, at 3 p.m. at the Walnut Community Room (Fire station #5) in Corvallis, Oregon. We ask that attendees wear clothing that reminds you of Axel.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to World Central Kitchen or your local food bank.

Thinking of Axel´s family and friends.

We did not know Axel, but spent many hours on the soccer sidelines with Rick and Ann watching Leif and Luther. Axel was always mentioned as he was a Dogbone playing soccer as well. I have a visual of a very tall and handsome boy with a too small scooter heading out to the practice fields at Crystal Lake! I also knew him to be exceptionally bright and talented as a musician as well.
We are devastated for you and your family. The pain of losing a child is unimaginable to me as a mother. We are thinking of you in this time of immense grief. We are traveling this weekend and I am so sorry we will not be able to attend Axel's celebration. I hope that this gathering will bring you joy in the shared memories, and comfort that you are well loved and that you have support around you. We will be thinking of you and will support the local food bank in his honor.
Love and peace to you from the Ellensons
