Bruce, along with his 2 brothers Khampaeng and Orn and his parents Kham and Son Panyathong came to Canada in 1985. They lived in Chinatown, Toronto for 2 years before they moved down to Kitchener where he built his family and made life long friends.
Bruce lived a happy, fulfilling life.... full of love, laughter and joy. He was a breath of fresh air and the life of the party. A loyal friend and a loving husband and father. He was the richest man.. rich in love, family and friends. He was taken from this world too soon, but he fought with every last bit of heart he had left in him. It was an honour to know him, to be loved by him and to be known by him.
He passed away suddenly but peacefully on November 26th, 2022. Surrounded by his loving wife and kids. Closes friends and family made sure that he was never alone and surrounded with a tremendous amount of love.
He left a legacy, survived by his Wife; Sopheap Pring. Daughters; Ivey, Maly, Mya, Tyana, Ilyenna and Maliya. One and only Son; Noah Bruce Panyathong. Grandson(s) Jaiven and Kaius. Brothers; Orn and Khampaeng. Sisters; Sytha, Sophea and Sarah. And many nieces and nephews that he loved so much.
They will continue on his great legacy and never let anyone forget him.
Gone too soon.. but will never be forgotten. May he rest like a King.
LONG LIVE NUANCHAI BRUCH PANYATHONG. 🕊🤍
We love you more than life daddy. 🤍
