Kenny Gia Cuong Nguyen

At a young age, Kenny joined the Tustin Young Marines and stayed with the group for many years where he got promoted to Corporal. Kenny attended Kennedy High School and graduated in 2015. He was heavily involved in the United States Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps throughout high school and was promoted to Captain. He was also involved and spent a lot of time with the National Guard Reserve in Long Beach. After graduating high school, Kenny graduated with a Bachelor degree in Criminal Justice at Everest University. He was also inspired to major in programming from his Uncle Tri and brother-in-law, Mark, so he continued his study at ITT and gained a second degree in computer programming.

In his free time, Kenny loved hitting the gym for a good work out and riding bikes with his mom, aunt and uncle. He enjoyed listening to music from all genres, singing karaoke, and danced the night away while hanging out with his family. He especially loved hanging out with his aunt Kim (Co Ut) and baby cousin (Kaitlynn) while they cooked and made drinks.

Kenny, like his siblings and cousins, was a huge fan of the LA Lakers. He often practiced basketball late at the park near home just shooting hoops. He was a friend to everyone and loved life. You could always find a smile on his face and count on him for a good time. He was adored by all that met him.

Kenny is survived by his mother (Kim Loan), father (Duc), and siblings (Hung, Hien, and Hoang). He was the baby of the family and cherished by his grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
