Vinh Nguyen

Vinh Nguyen, 89, of Ft Worth, Texas left us on Sunday, February 4, 2024 shortly after receiving all the church sacraments for his journey to the eternal home.

Vinh was born on November 26,1934 to Hieu & Huong Nguyen in Mytho, Vietnam. Vinh is survived by his wife Tuyet, his children Phuong and daughter-in-law Tam, Thuy and son-in-law Minh, Van and son-in-law Lan, Nhan (Thomas) and daughter-in-law Vi-Y, his grandchildren:Nicholas, Kristen, Robert, Catherine, Thuy-Vy, Kevin, Mình-Huy, Jen, Minh-Phong, Judy, Minh-Tri, Van-Anh, Crystal, Reed; and his great-grandchildren Estelle, Emilie, and Oliver.

Vinh served in the Vietnamese Navy for a few years at an early age. Then, he worked in telecommunications for many years until 1975. Vinh was blessed with many talents. He was very good at mechanics, electronics, and photography. He could have been a great inventor if given the right opportunity. Despite his age and language barrier, Vinh was very fascinated with technology; from growing up in the age of no phone and no television, to the age of cell phones and the Internet, he actively learned and enjoyed it. He enjoyed flying remote airplanes, drones, and photography. For many years, Vinh donated generously his time and his photography talent to the local Vietnamese churches and communities. Vinh also touched many hearts and was described as humble, generous, loving, and faithful by his friends. Vinh loved his family so much and he always wanted the best for his children/grandchildren. Vinh will be missed greatly by his family and friends.

May God’s merciful love shower Vinh as he enters the eternal home. May Vinh rest peacefully in God’s arms.

Vinh’s patron saint is Saint James. Please remember the repose soul of James Vinh Nguyen (Giacobe Nguyen Van Vinh) in your prayers.
