Xuat van Pham

The youngest of six siblings, he was the last of his generation to pass away. He is survived by Lien, his beloved wife of 61 years; his children, Duong, Duong,Dieu, and Buu; his daughters in law, Chau, Toan, and Thao; and his grandchildren, Lynne, Janey, and Tien.

In 1991, Xuatand Lien emigrated from Da Nang, Vietnam, to Phoenix with their children. Phoenix became their home for the next 35 years, where their children grew, married, and welcomed a new generation. In Vietnam, Xuat was a teacher, an inventor, an artist, an entrepreneur, and a self taught architect.

One of his proudest achievements was designing Hoa Quang Buddhist Temple in Da Nang, which continues to serve the community today. He loved nature and devoted much of his life to the Buddhist community in both Vietnam and Phoenix.

He lived with kindness, compassion, humility, and perseverance. He was deeply respected by many. Though he is no longer with us, his love, kindness, family legacy, and Hoa Quang Buddhist Temple remain. May Xuat Pham rest peacefully, and may his memory live forever in the hearts of all who knew and loved him
