With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Lanh Tran, a beloved father, husband, grandfather, and friend, who peacefully passed away on February 6, 2026 at the age of 75.
Born on November 10, 1950 in Northern Vietnam, Lanh lived a life defined by quiet strength, perseverance, and a deep love for his family. Through life’s hardships and joys, he remained a steady presence—selfless, hardworking, and devoted to those he loved.
He was a man of integrity and humility, known for his gentle smile, kind heart, and unwavering support for his family. To his children, he was a guiding light and a constant source of wisdom and encouragement. His greatest pride was his Grandchildren. He found the deepest joy in taking care of them in the latter part of his life.
Lanh Tran is survived by Lan Le, his loving wife; his children Vyvyann (Brian), Loi (Tuyet), Phuong (Ali), Thai, and Susan (Chaulang); his grandchildren Brandon, Logan, Remy, Serena, Lucas, Peru, Santiago, and Benedict; and many extended family members and friends who will forever cherish his memory.
At the request of the church, please do not send flowers.
Though we grieve his passing, we are grateful for the life he lived and the love he gave so freely. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered forever.
