It is with great sorrow that we bid farewell to Anthony Nguyen, a man who held a special role in the lives of those who had the pleasure of crossing his path. As a cherished son, brother, uncle, and friend, his absence leaves an irreplaceable void in the hearts of those who held him dear. He found joy in the company of cars, the mischievous adventures shared with friends, and the precious moments spent with his beloved family and faithful German Shepherd companion, Betsy. There was always an abundance of laughter with him around. Anthony was a soul whose heart knew no bounds and whose humor and generosity touched the lives of his family and friends. He was always willing to offer a helping hand, warm embraces, and raise a glass. He was quick to crack a joke and make you feel welcome. Anthony was the life of the party.

Anthony was unexpectedly discovered unconscious at home on Monday, December 4th. Despite valiant CPR efforts at his home and upon arrival to the hospital and five days of rigorous treatment and care in the ICU, Anthony passed away peacefully on Friday, December 8th, surrounded by his loving family.

Anthony was born in Denver, Colorado, but lived most of his life in Houston, Texas. Anthony celebrated his 38th birthday in June, was in a new relationship with Uyen Phuong, and was a skilled mechanic. He is survived by his mother, Xuan Vu; his siblings, Tram, Traci, Tim and his wife Anh Thu, Son and his wife Luu, Nga and her husband Jimmie, Nancy; nephews and nieces, My Linh, Zachary, Kaelin, Alexandria, Andrew, Amanda, Ariana, Nathan, Adam, Noah, Noelle, Corgan, Cameron; great nieces and nephew, Rihanna, Evelyn, Edward Jr.; and countless extended family members. Anthony's unexpected, sudden loss has left his family devastated and reeling from grief.

Anthony touched so many lives. Many of those who knew him have asked how they could help Anthony's family during this difficult time. At the time of his death, Anthony did not have health insurance and was between jobs; his hospital bills and funeral expenses are significant. If you would like to help out, please consider making a donation to help with Anthony's end-of-life expenses.
