Trang Duc Duong

Trang embodied hard work, dedication, humility, and kindness. He was a true Renaissance man – having served in the South Vietnamese Army, worked as a janitor, maintenance man, and security guard. He was also an entrepreneur and businessman. In the refugee camp, he worked as a barber; later, he provided loans to shrimping boat captains and eventually founded a real estate business. Trang provided housing to countless families in Port Arthur and even helped several tenants begin their own real estate ventures.

Trang is survived by Yen Thi Nguyen (sister); Yen Nguyen (sister); Lynn (daughter) and Jerome Mauricio; Thu (daughter) and Michael Nguyen; and the following grandchildren: Dean Mauricio, Charlie Mauricio, James Mauricio, Alexander Nguyen, and Vincent Nguyen.
