Tron Van Nguyen…the most important branch of the family tree, our heroic father, and the glue that held our family together through thick and thin. Tron and his wife of 61 years successfully raised twelve children together. In order for their children to have a better life, they literally risked everything to bring them to a new world called America. After six months of planning, using their own commercial fishing boat to traverse the treacherous seas of South Vietnam, they escaped the Communist ruled Vietnamese government and safely arrived at the American Embassy in the Philippines. Tron had a total of nine boys and three girls, who are mothers and fathers in their own respect, successful business owners, and college graduates.
Throughout his lifetime, Tron would not hesitate to tell complete strangers how proud he was of his children and their accomplishments. Tron was an excellent fisherman and passionate gardener/arborist; planting and growing multiple types of trees including Japanese Apples, Guavas, Peaches, Mangos, Papayas, Pomegranates, Lemons, Loquats, Red Chilies, Herbs and Mints . To add to his abilities in the garden and ocean, he was a great foodie; loving to try and eat any kinds of foods that was gifted and cooked for him. The words that best describe him are: strong, intelligent, resourceful, caring, selfless, giving, loving, patient, persistent and most importantly of all empathetic.
Tron lived a full life; filled with love, laughter, struggles, and triumphs. His legacy will live on through his 12 children, 29 grandchildren, and many great grandchildren. He passed away on the late afternoon of June 10, 2023. He will forever be remembered and sorely missed by his family and all who knew him. Thank you for joining us in celebration of the life of this warm and kind soul.
