Jim Ngoc Lai

Jim was born in Vietnam, on March 19, 1950. In 1982, he came to the United States determined to build a better life for his family. Through hard work, perseverance, and faith, he created a life centered on those he loved.

A devoted Catholic, Jim found strength and guidance in his faith, which he carried throughout his life with humility, generosity, and compassion.

Jim was a loving husband, father to five children, and proud grandfather to seven grandchildren. His family was his greatest joy, and he worked tirelessly to provide for them while passing down the values and wisdom that will remain with them for generations.

Jim will be remembered for his quiet strength, generous heart, unwavering faith, and deep devotion to his family.

He is survived by his beloved wife, five children, seven grandchildren, extended family, friends, and members of his faith community.

We give thanks to God for the gift of Jim’s life and find comfort knowing he has returned home to God.

May he rest in peace. May perpetual light shine upon him.
