Dau Hoang Obituary

Dau Van Hoang, 87, passed away Wednesday, September 18, 2024, in Amarillo, Texas. He was born on January 2,1937, in Mong Cai, Vietnam, to Van Van Hoang and Nghi Thi Hoang. He was married 64 years to No Thi Dang. 

Mr. Hoang was preceded in death by his parents Van Van Hoang and Nghi Thi Hoang and one brother Vy Hoang.

He is survived by his wife, No Thi Dang, his son Cam Van Hoang, daughter Kimmy Nga Hoang, daughter Julie Dung (Kenny Ngo) Hoang, daughter Amberly Hoa (Danny Nhan) Le, son Stan Tan (Nhu Quyen Le) Hoang, son Tien Duc (Lan Tran) Hoang, and daughter Brittany Thanh (Adrian Long) Trinh. He was blessed with 19 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. He is also survived by siblings Yn Van Hoang, Chu Van Hoang, Y Hoang, Tin Hoang, and Cu Van Hoang. 

Mr. Hoang attended school in Vietnam and then served in the Vietnamese army for six years. He was a custodian for AISD for many years and attended Our Lady of Vietnam Catholic Church. He loved to play Chinese checkers and loved to fish. He was a quiet, serious, patient lovely man, but is best described by his granddaughter Sara. She penned the following speaking to her grandfather: …your bravery and courage to escape danger, cross an ocean, to a foreign country, so that we could be where we are today. Thank you for raising us, teaching us how to speak Vietnamese and how to pray to God and have faith. Thank you for taking us to Burger King and buying us kid’s meals. Thank you for sharing your obsession with the Amarillo flea market, thank you for your humor. And even when my heart feels heavy with immense sadness, I know that God has saved you a comfy spot next to him. I am so glad my kids got to meet their great grampa. 

He will be missed by those who knew and loved him.
