Hello everyone! It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved father, David Saran Ven. He left us far too soon on January 3, 2026.

Our dad was an extraordinary man, a loving father and grandfather, a brother, an uncle, a hardworking man, a great friend, and someone who always put his family first. Even though he was a quiet man, he would show his love, not through words, but by his actions instead. We were blessed to have him in our lives, but his sudden departure has left an irreplaceable void. This unexpected loss has taken a tremendous emotional, physical, and mental toll on our family.

On top of grieving, we're now facing significant financial challenges with cremation, ceremonies, memorial services, and other related expenses that we weren't prepared for. We've created this GoFundMe to help cover these costs and ease some of the burden during this heartbreaking period. Any contribution, no matter how small, will go directly toward giving our dad the dignified farewell he deserves.

Even sharing this page with others who knew and loved him would mean the world to us. Your support, whether through a donation, kind words, or prayers, will helps us honor his memory and begin to heal as a family.

Our dad loved fishing. It was his place of peace. We take comfort knowing he’s finally at the lake, where the sun is out and the fish are biting. We love you, Dad. You will truly be missed.

With love and gratitude,

The Ven Family
