Khanh Tran Obituary
November 8, 1972 - January 18, 2024
We are sad to announce the passing our beloved Khanh on January 18, 2024 in Falls Church, Virginia. A generous, kind-hearted soul, he prioritized caring for others both personally and professionally.
Born in Vietnam, Khanh was raised in Falls Church, Virginia as a Vietnamese immigrant. A graduate of George Mason University, he recently toured his birth country with his cousin Jimmy Le and tried to speak broken Vietnamese to the natives. We will remember him for his fun, adventurous personality.
Khanh is survived by his parents, Em Toan Tran and Anh-Dao Le, his sister Ann Farkas (Michael) and his brothers Quang (Kathleen) and Hoang (Nga) Tran, along with nephews Colin, Dylan, and niece Clare Tran. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Calling hours will be held from 10:00am- 12:00pm on Sunday, February 4, 2024, followed by a memorial service at 12:00pm at National Funeral Home and National Memorial Park, 7482 Lee Highway, Falls Church, Virginia 22042.
A private cremation service will follow for family only.
In lieu of flowers, please make a contribution to Mercyships.org in his name.

Khanh or Trizzle was a hard-working, genuine and caring person. I had the privilege to work alongside this warrior for 6 yrs and enjoy every moment. He and I used to go to branches and work hard but also Laugh all the time. He was a great soul to be around and have a TON of awesome and funny stories. Still missing him to this day and will never forget him. We'll see you again my fellow warrior.

Khanh and I worked together for 21 years, and became like best friends. We had a lot of fun, adventurous trips, moments filled with so much laughter outside of work and a few during work. Some of you know this really well and some of you don't. Being friends with Khanh was like joining a fraternity. He partied harder than hard and lived life to the fullest. He was an animal and his response to anything he liked or didn´t like was, AAAnnniiimmmaaalll... He made it sound very funny.
He also got some work done. At work, people would say, I don't know how you get any work done Khanh, all I hear was giggling and laughing. Khanh's reply, "Life is good", "living the dream", "sorry about your luck chickay". All his quotes and sayings had special meanings and stories behind them, which his circle of friends and family were familiar with.
We hear about quotes on enjoying life and moments, Khanh applied them to his daily life. I witnessed him give care, attention, heart filled feelings for everyone that he knew, plus strangers and nature. Yes, he got a lot of hugs from a lot of girls, and he was a tree hugger too. For those who were close to him, you know, he loved everyone and everything.
Rest in peace my friend. We have lost a very special person in our lives who enriched us with his incredible personality.

Khanh was a good friend and a colleague. We had some great conversations on family, life, health, and trending topic in the news. He was a kind and genuine person who always had a laugh to share and ready to help. I remember recovering from bad cold/ cough and one morning I find this bottle of honey on my desk. He will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.

"Trizzel" as we loved to call him, was always ready to make you laugh. His sayings like "What´s your ruushhhh, "Not my circus, not my monkeys," and "You want me to cook the dinner but you won´t buy the groceries" brought laughter to some pretty stressful moments. He loved his family and spoke of them often. But what I´ll appreciate most was his caring nature. He is missed terribly. We are thinking of his family during these difficult times.

I am so sorry for your loss. Khanh was a great neighbor for 22 years. I will miss his lawn mowing and leaf blowing. He always gushed about his nephews and niece. I will miss seeing the family in his backyard enjoying themselves. May his memory be for a blessing.
