Hy Duc Nguyen

Our beloved father, grandfather, and husband, Nguyen Duc Hy, passed away peacefully and returned to his heavenly home on Wednesday, March 18, 2020. He was born on February 1, 1924 in Ninh Binh, Phat Diem, Vietnam and was one of eight children.

He married Pham Thi Lai in 1957 and together raised a family of six sons and one daughter. In search of a better life, the family was sponsored through the Catholic church and successfully emigrated to America in 1992. There, he continued his love and passion for the outdoors and nurtured a garden that was his pride and joy. He was always, without fail, tending to his garden to ensure he could provide enough for his family – because of this, many of his grandchildren spent a majority of their childhood growing up in the garden as well, and these priceless memories will forever be etched in our hearts. His family has grown to 14 grandchildren, who will continue to carry on his legacy.

“Because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” Luke 1:78-79
