Thong Van Pham was born March 12, 1956, in Vietnam to Thuy Van Pham and Gia Thi Nguyen. He was preceded in death by his two brothers Chu Van Pham and Hong Van Pham. He is survived by his wife and life partner of 46 years Lee Vuong, two children Anna Lee Pham and spouse Ryne and Brian Lee Pham, and siblings Nhu Van Pham, Nhi Thi Pham, Cuc Thi Pham, Minh Van Pham, and Tuan Anh Pham. He leaves a legacy of two grandchildren, Amara and Maya Posey.
After emigrating from Vietnam during the Vietnam War, during which he spent time in a refugee camp in Indonesia where he met the love of his life Lee, he eventually became dedicated to a career as a network engineer. He worked hard as an immigrant with limited financial support to acclimate and thrive in a new country to support his beloved family and extended family back home.
Tom will be forever loved and greatly missed, but his family is comforted that he joins his mother, father, and two older brothers.
