It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Phu Van Dang, beloved father and husband who left us on Saturday, 1/18/2025 at the age of 77.
Phu was born on December 10, 1947, in Gò Công, Vietnam. As a child, he moved to Sài Gòn, where he pursued his education before joining the South Vietnamese Army where he served as a Lieutenant. Phu endured six years as a prisoner of war alongside his fellow officers. In search of a better life and the opportunity to come to America, he fled to Malaysia and then to Indonesia, where he spent one year at a refugee camp. During this time, Phu was a devoted student who gave back to the refugee community by teaching English. It was also here that he met his wife.
In 1983, Phu arrived in America with the support of the Nguyen family and Patrick and Gail O'Brien, beginning a new chapter in Suffern, New York. Phu was known for his strength, compassion, resilience, generosity, and the deep sacrifices he made for his family and loved ones. He devoted his life to his family, always prioritizing their love, safety, and well-being. Phu’s unwavering determination to give back allowed him to create a family of his own. The love he shared with the Nguyens, O’Briens, and his chosen family inspired him and his wife to open their hearts and home to Vietnamese youths in need of a family. In 1995, Phu and his family made their home in Sacramento, California, eventually settling in Elk Grove, where he continued to pursue his career and passion for real estate. Phu believed in providing for those in need, dedicating his time uplifting the Vietnamese refugee community and giving back to the Buddhist temples. He was a constant source of strength and guidance to those fortunate enough to know him. Phu passed away peacefully on January 18, 2025, surrounded by his beloved family. Phu is survived by his wife Lien, and daughters Michelle and Mary. He is also survived by his older brother, Quy Dang, and his family in Vietnam; Tho and Than Nguyen and their family; Lai Vo and his family; and the Thai family.
We take comfort in knowing that he is at peace and his legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. His memory will be forever cherished, and he will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of receiving his love and friendship. Rest in Peace, Dad. We thank you for being in our lives and for the beautiful life you gave us. You will forever be in our hearts. We love you.
-Lien, Michelle and Mary
