Thanh Xuan Nguyen

Thanh Xuan Nguyen, 48, of Little Elm, Texas, passed away on Tuesday 01/07/2025.
Thanh was born on March 23, 1976, to Mr. Tony Nguyen and Mrs. My Dung Tran in Vietnam. After graduating from Rockport-Fulton HS, (Rockport, TX) in 1994, Thanh went on to study Pre-Law at University of Texas at Dallas. After getting his associate's degree, he worked as a Legal Assistant for several years with a Life Insurance Company. He has a love for Law and Justice.
After leaving that company he returned home to assist the family with several family businesses, Thanh and Allison Hale started their family with son, Caleb, 23 and daughter Claire, 21. Due to circumstances, they separated. The children are what he always loved and talked about.
Thanh was always there for anyone that needed and wanted his help. After helping with different family members and businesses, Thanh returned to Dallas and worked in the Management of Salons.
In 2016, he finally got his dream car off the showroom floor, a Nismo 350z. He met his current wife, Tracy Ngo, in 2018 and settled down to their new home with a few Bengal Cats, 11 to be exact.
This was his reward for being a good son, a good brother, a good husband, a good father, a good uncle, a good friend, and a great cat owner/lover; he was happy.
He spent his time working and being a home body with his wife and cats and other family and friends. He was passionate about his self-starting business and philosophy. He took a lot of what Bruce Lee taught to heart. He was an avid Tae Kwon Do practitioner. He would go into rants about how to cook certain foods and definitely loved his grilling. His favorite restaurant was his kitchen! He would spend all night explaining to you how to properly use throwing knives.
