Neang Chhay

Born in Battambang, Cambodia, he was the son of the late Chhay and Pong.

Neang worked as a warehouse packer in the food and beauty supply industry for 20+ years. He was a member of the Fall River Massachusetts Khmer Buddhist Society, Inc. and received a performance recognition award in 2007. On April 9, 2019, Neang was sworn in as a proud US Citizen. He was a kind soul with an enormous heart. His generous ways spoke volume of his genuine character. Everyone knew him to be so selfless, a man who was quick to lend a helping hand and give the shirt off his back to those in need. Neang will be fondly remembered by family and friends as a loving and devoted father and grandfather.
