Minh Le

Minh Le, our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on November 4th of this year. He was the youngest of eight children. Despite losing his mother at a young age, he grew into a dedicated soldier, bravely serving alongside the U.S. Army during the war. 

In peacetime, Minh married and embraced a fulfilling life as an electrician and photographer, raising three wonderful children with his beloved wife, with whom he shared an enduring partnership of 44 years. Together, they ran a small pho restaurant, where they spent their days cooking and preparing food side by side. Upon arriving in America, Minh pursued a new path and became a skilled nail technician, showcasing his hardworking nature and remarkable talents. His extensive military service endowed him with a wealth of knowledge, which he shared generously with those around him. 

One of Minh’s greatest joys was fishing along the embankment, where he would reflect on his cherished memories with a cigarette in hand. Even in the face of illness at the end of his life, he remained devoted to his family, continually expressing his love for his children and grandchildren. His greatest wish was to hold each of them close, protecting and nurturing them. 

Minh passed away surrounded by his loving wife, children, and grandchildren. Though he is no longer with us, his spirit lives on in the hearts of those who loved him—a devoted husband, a caring father, and a cherished grandfather, full of love and responsibility.
