Thảnh was born on March 20, 1950, in Vietnam to the late Mr. Nguyễn Văn Thành and Mrs. Trần Thị Tin. He served in the military for 8 years, and in 1973, he married Dâng Thị Phạm. Two years later, they bravely escaped Vietnam during the fall of Saigon and began a new life in the United States.

Settling in Fort Worth, Texas, Thảnh and his wife raised five children. He worked tirelessly often graveyard shifts as a machinist in the aircraft industry to provide for his family and give them the freedom and opportunities of their new life in America. He retired at 65 and spent his later years tending to the yard, practicing his golf swings, playing ping pong, and time with his beloved children and grandchildren.

Thảnh is preceded in death by his parents, Guise Nguyễn Văn Thành and Maria Trần Thị Tin, his brother Guise "Robert" Nguyễn Văn Thạnh, his sister Maria Nguyễn Kim Lan and his grandson Guise Taylor Tai Thanh Nguyễn.

Thảnh is survived and lovingly remembered by his wife Nguyễn Phạm Thị Dâng; his children: Nguyễn Phạm Việt, Nguyễn Phạm Anh Dzung, Nguyễn Phạm Rose Hồng, Nguyễn Phạm Nam, Nguyễn Phạm Anh Đào; his grandsons: Dylan and Phi, Nathan and Phoenix; his siblings: Nguyễn Văn Thước, his wife, children, and grandchildren; Nguyễn John, his wife, children, and grandchildren; Nguyễn Peter Hùng and children; Nguyễn Văn Thạnh's wife, children, and grandchildren; Nguyễn Kim Liên and children; Nguyễn Dominic, his wife, and children; and Nguyễn Văn Thái, his wife, and children.

Thảnh will be remembered as a hardworking, steadfast man with a commanding presence. Though often stern, he was deeply dependable, the first to offer help, and had a playful side that surfaced in quiet moments. Beneath his tough exterior was a heart full of love, loyalty, and sacrifice. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and friend. He leaves behind a legacy of strength, resilience, and unwavering dedication to his family.
