Vincent Vũ Vương Hoàng, loving son of Khang Vũ Hoàng and Oanh Kim Trần, was born at 11:06 on June 5, 1993 in Garden Grove, California.
As a child, he was playful, affectionate, inquisitive, and full of life, energy and mischiefs. After preschool and kindergarten, he attended Tamura Elementary School in Fountain Valley, then Mesa Middle School in Huntington Beach. Vincent graduated from Ocean View High School in Huntington Beach in the year 2011. He then continued with a major in Chemical Engineering at the California State University, Long Beach where his father still lectures.
Vincent was kind, caring, attentive, thoughtful and generous to everyone - his family, his friends, even homeless people on the street. He loved all living creatures, all species in the animal kingdom, taking in stray dogs and newborn cats in the neighborhood, feeding wild bunnies and birds. He loved camping, the outdoors, and the ocean. An adventurer at heart, Vincent loved to explore fun places, enjoyed surfing, deep sea fishing, lobster harvesting even though he was not as fond of water as a little child.
Vincent passed away at 18:44 on May 14, 2019 where he loved most, the Pacific Ocean, just a few weeks shy of his 26th birthday. He touched the lives of all his family members and friends in so many special ways. He will be sorely missed by many who are fortunate enough to know him for such a limited time. He will forever be in their hearts!
