On the night of January 8, 2026 my world changed forever. The love of my life — my blessing from God — Dong Van Nguyen, went home to be with his Father in Heaven. The pain of losing him is indescribable, and my heart is still trying to understand this sudden and heartbreaking loss.
Anh Dong was not only the love of my life, but also a devoted father to two beautiful girls, Alissa and Dylana who absolutely adored him. He loved his daughters with everything he had, and they were his whole world. He was also a loving brother, an incredible uncle, and a grand-uncle who brought so much joy, laughter, and warmth into the lives of his sister, his nieces and nephews, and the entire family. Anh Dong impacted all of our lives in ways we will carry forever. He loved us deeply, and we all love him more than words can ever express.
Anh Dong was the kind of person who was loved by everyone- friends, co workers, and even strangers he met in passing. His spirit was so warm and genuine that people felt connected to him instantly.
Anh Dong had a spirit that was truly one-of-a-kind. He was the funniest person I have ever known — always trying to make people laugh, even on the days when he wasn’t feeling happy himself. He carried so much on the inside, but still chose to lift others up. There are so many people who love him dearly, because everyone who met him saw the same thing: a genuine, beautiful soul who gave more than he ever asked for.
Dong Van Nguyen was my ong xa and my soulmate, and he truly was a blessing from God. He had the most beautiful heart and soul, always making everyone around him laugh and feel joy. His kindness and ability to lift others up was a gift to everyone who knew him. Anh Dong never failed to bring happiness to those around him, and his presence made the world a brighter place. Losing him has left an unimaginable void in our lives, but I am grateful for every moment we shared and cherished memories we will have together forever.
We are now facing the difficult task of saying goodbye and honoring his memory. I am raising funds to help cover funeral expenses, memorial services, and to support our family during this incredibly hard time. In keeping with his generous spirit, we will also be donating a portion of the funds (10-20%) to a Christian charity, because I know that’s what he would have wanted. Your support will help us cover immediate costs and ease the financial stress, allowing us to focus on healing and remembering the wonderful person Anh Dong was.
We need all the help, prayers, and support we can get right now. If you are able, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser with others. Every bit of kindness means so much to our family as we navigate this heartbreaking loss.
