Dzung Quach

With immense sadness, we announce the passing of Dzung Quach on October 20, 2024 at the age of 61. He was born to Khuu Thi Ut and Tuc Quach in Bac Lieu, Vietnam. Dzung bravely escaped the Vietnam War by boat to a refugee camp in Calang, Indonesia at the age of 16. From there, he immigrated to the United States in February 1979. His American education started at Kearny High School in San Diego, CA. In 1989, he proudly graduated with a double major, earning his Bachelor of Electrical Engineering and Mathematics and Computer Science from UC San Diego. From owning a video rental store and a restaurant with his family to working in Silicon Valley technology, sponsoring his entire family to come to the United States, and starting his own real estate appraisal business, he embodied the essence of the American Dream. Dzung was known for his strong work ethic, determination, intelligence, wittiness, humor, and deep love for family and friends. His generosity was a true blessing to everyone around him, leaving a lasting impression and touching numerous people throughout his lifetime. After successfully beating Hodgkin's Lymphoma cancer in 2023, he suffered an ischemic stroke on September 29, 2024 and was on the road to recovery with the clinical help of speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. Though there were both good and challenging days, his family's constant presence and the unwavering support of loved ones fueled his spirit and determination to improve. He was a favorite patient among nurses, and his remarkable progress filled his doctors with pride and hope. Dzung’s jokester personality brightened the entire stroke recovery unit. Sadly, he fell into a coma due to a hemorrhagic stroke. He entered eternal rest on October 20, 2024 at 8:50pm, surrounded by family, at Washington Hospital in Fremont, CA. He leaves behind his wife, Nga Bui, and his two “cuc vang / precious gold” daughters, Pauline Thao Thanh Quach and Kathleen Trang Thanh Quach. Dzung’s spirit will live on in the love we all shared. Jesus answered him “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise” - Luke 23:43.
