Nguon Hong Taing

Hong was born October 22, 1976, in Battambang, Cambodia, to You Tei Taing and Sok Cheng Lim. At the age of three, Hong immigrated to America with his family during the Khmer Rouge rule of Cambodia. Hong was a skilled machinist and worked at Triple M Machine Inc for 20 years before leaving to start his business venture. With no business experience whatsoever, Hong opened AAA Market Asian Grocery store in July 2015, which instantly became a thriving small-business. Hong truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; chatting with friends and family, a comedian at heart, and spending time with his kids. Hong had an uncanny ability to reach people in a profound and deep way. It gives his family great consolation knowing that Hong will be joining his father in heaven.

He is survived by his wife of l5 years, Mouy Teang; children, Andrew Taing (12), Austin Taing (5), and Ashlyn Taing (3); his mother: Sok Cheng Lim; three sisters, Lisa Chen (Fang Young), Ngeng Hong Nhoy (Taing Meang), and Chheng Bouy Taing (Rene Salazer); two brothers, Heap Taing (Sandra) and Nguon Sour Taing; his nieces and nephews, David Chen, Sherry Chen, Linda Chen (Chris Nguyen) and their son Henry, James Pock (Nhu-y) and their son Eli, Kevin Nhoy, Stephanie Nhoy (Casey), Christina Nhoy, John Taing (Mariel) and their daughter Malana, Juan Rene Salazar, Adrian Taing, Jennifer Taing and Melinda Taing and her son Nicholas; and, his best friend: John Burkholder.
