Toun graduated from high school in Kongsedone, Laos, in 1966. He graduated from a technical school in Vientiane, Laos, in 1968, specializing in welding. He worked for a Japanese company constructing the Nam Ngum Dam from 1969-1972. He met and married the love of his life, Phit Vilaysane, on April 6, 1970. Their first son, Vongvichit Thea Vilaysack, was born on April 7, 1971. From 1972-1974 he worked as a contractor for the U.S. Government. Their second son, Thonglit Tony Vilaysack, was born on March 5, 1973. He moved back to Nong Heen in 1974.

In November 1975, he bravely escaped being captured by the Communist Laos to Thailand. A month later he returned to Laos and got the family out of the country. He and the family courageously crossed the Mekong River into Thailand with two toddlers and a newborn, Phonetip Bing Thepsiri, who was only 15 days old at the time. The family stayed at the Refugee Camp until May 1976. He and the family arrived in Houston, Texas, in June 1976. After two months, Western Hills Church of Christ Brethren (George Grover) became their sponsor and brought him and his family to Fort Worth, Texas.

In 1977, Toun worked for a company cutting carpets. He started his American education at Weslyn College, then attended University of Texas Arlington. He earned his associate’s degree in auto mechanics and autobody from Tarrant County College. Toun attended the Preston Road Seminary and became one of the first Laotian Christian Preachers in the DFW area. He preached at Western Hills Church of Christ and Airport Freeway Church of Christ. Toun and the family welcomed the new addition to the family; Christina Noy Vilaysack who was born on 10 October 1985.

In addition to being a preacher, Toun owned several mechanic shops called VT Auto Repair serving the Springtown and DFW communities from 1986 - 2003. He also owned a nursery in Glenmora, Louisiana, called PT Nursery from 2003 - 2017.
