Our father, Paj Zeb Lauj / Pa Ge Lor (Tub Lis), was born January 10, 1954. Our father has always battled health problems most of his life, always fighting fate and beating all odds, in order to spend as many years with us as he had. Though he fought until the very end, our father passed away on March 4, 2021 due to kidney failure. We are fortunate that his last days were spent at home, surrounded by loved ones every minute of every day. Anyone who has ever met our father will remember him to be kind, humble, and loving. He always brightened up any room with his contagious smile. If you ever sat down to talk with him, you were sure to have heard a story or two from him, filled with his wisdom and humor. Paj Zeb has left behind his lifelong partner (Bao X. Lor), six children (Khoua, See, Peng, Vater, Shoua, Mai Kia), daughter-in-law (Mai Neng Vang), two son-in-laws (Thaaj Chang, Makade Connell), and six grandchildren.
We will be holding a funeral service for our father on Sunday, March 28, 2021 in Eau Claire, WI. As we are currently living in a global pandemic, we understand if family and friends are not able to make it to our father’s funeral. Because this is the case, many people have asked how they can support our family. So in lieu of giving mutual aid and “nyiaj tshav ntuj” at a physical funeral, we are providing a virtual space for those who would like to support our family through these difficult times. Your monetary support will go towards funeral and burial expenses for our father. We are grateful for your love and support as we lay our father to rest. Please know that we appreciate each and every one who has reached out to us during this time, and we cannot thank you all enough.
Here are other virtual ways you can send your love and support:
