Sang Tuong Diep's Obituary
In Loving Memory of Sang Tuong Diep
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Sang Tuong Diep, who left us peacefully on September 5, 2025, at the age of 82. Though he passed away outside of his home country, he was surrounded by his loved ones.
Sang was born on March 15, 1944, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to Moc Diep and Kheo Thi Nguyen. In 1981, he immigrated to Canada with his wife and children, determined to build a better future for them—a dream he proudly fulfilled through his hard work, resilience, and unwavering love for his family. Sang had a rare gift for bringing people together, keeping family close across Canada, the United States, and Vietnam, and strengthening the ties that bound them no matter the distance. His deep sense of connection will continue to unite his family and friends across generations and places.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Hoa Thi Nguyen; four children, Tan Loi Diep, Maple Diep, Sally Diep, and Jenny Diep; four stepchildren; eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Moc Diep and Kheo Thi Nguyen.
A funeral service will be held on Thursday, September 11, 2025, at 1:00 PM at the Chapel of the Chimes, Oakland.
Sang’s quiet strength, humor and love for his family will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
