Xuan is survived by his wife, Phuong of 35 years, sons Vinh and Duc-Thanh Pham; daughter Anh-Minh Pham and her husband Erik Rogers and their daughter Mikaila; his mom, Tinh Pham; his sister Loan and her husband Bang Nguyen; his brother, Quoc and his wife, Hoang Pham; his brother, Hoi and his wife, Nuong Pham; his sister, Oanh and her husband John Panagiotopolous; his brother Ninh and wife Sese Pham; his brother, Thanh Pham; and many loving nieces, nephews, and friends.
Xuan was a loving father, husband, grandfather, and friend to all. He was highly active in the church and reached the rank of Deputy Grand Knight in the Knights of Columbus at St. John Vianney Catholic Church chapter. Additionally, he enjoyed gardening, traveling, and photography. Prior to getting sick, he was an avid runner where he’d run laps around his cardio-phobic sons. Finally, Xuan’s cooking specialty was burnt toast and “left- over medley”, so often times, he could be found enjoying his wife’s great cooking.
