Honoring Paul Inthirath

Dear Friends and Family,

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of our beloved father, Paul "Som" Inthirath, on April 30th, 2024 while voluteering at the Temple, Wat Lao Xayabhoummaram in East Bethel Minnesota.

Paul's journey began in Laos and led him to the United States in 1987, where he, along with his family, settled in Pasco, WA after spending time in Soon NaPo Refugee Camp in Thailand in 1981. In 1990, they moved to Worthington, MN, where Paul worked at the Swift processing plant before relocating to Minneapolis, MN, in 1991. He worked at Electrolux in St. Cloud before his retirement in 2020.

Paul's presence left an indelible mark on everyone he met. His passion for his family, friends, and outdoor activities such as hunting and fishing illuminated every room he entered, leaving a lasting impression on all who knew him. During his retirement, he devoted his time to helping others and spending time at his local temple.

We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have already received, and we thank you in advance for your kindness, prayers, and assistance during this challenging time.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Inthirath Family
