Michael Tim Phaphon

Michael was the steady presence his family depended on. He was the one who made life feel anchored and secure, showing up every day with strength, love, and reassurance. As a husband and the father of three beautiful children, Michael was the foundation of his family and the person who made the world feel safer simply by being in it.

Michael had an exceptionally generous heart. He loved deeply and without condition, always placing the needs of those he loved before his own. He protected his family fiercely and had a rare ability to make people feel seen, understood, and accepted. His presence brought calm, comfort, and a sense of peace that cannot be replaced.

As a husband, Michael was a true partner and a constant source of stability. He was the person his wife leaned on through every season of life. He carried responsibility with quiet strength and showed love through consistency, protection, and unwavering devotion. He was the one who turned a house into a home and filled her heart with love and security.

As a father, Michael was a guiding force in his children’s lives. He provided not only for their needs, but also for their sense of safety and confidence. He encouraged them to be brave, supported them as they grew, and led by example through his actions. His influence will continue to be felt in who they become and how they move through the world.

Michael’s humor and warmth filled every space he entered. His laughter, his jokes, and the little everyday moments made life feel richer. He wanted those around him to succeed and be happy, giving his time, his energy, and his heart even when he didn’t have much to give. Losing him leaves a quiet emptiness, a space that once sparkled with his light and love.

Michael is survived by his loving wife; his three children; his in laws, his mother, Kinnarone Phaphon his father Somphong Ketsavong; his siblings; Joanna, Vicky, David and Kenny; and many extended family members and friends who loved him dearly and will carry his memory with them always.

His passing leaves an immense sense of loss, yet there is comfort in knowing that Michael is no longer carrying the weight of this world. He is at peace, free from its stresses, and surrounded by love.

Michael, thank you for loving so fully and for being the strength your family relied on. You are missed in ways words cannot capture. You are missed in the quiet moments and in the spaces you once filled. What you gave your family did not end with you. It lives on in the love you built, the protection you gave, and the lives forever shaped by having known you.
