It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Thien-an Dao Nguyen "Anky", a cherished husband, devoted father, loyal friend, and steadfast member of our community. He was born on November 23, 1981, in Englewood, New Jersey, and he departed this life peacefully on March 8, 2025, at the age of 43, surrounded by his loving family.

Anky's life was a tapestry woven with love and care for those around him. He was a gruff exterior with a sweet side, embodying the qualities of an amazing father and a protective husband to his beloved wife, Christina Michael. He cherished his role as a father, instilling wisdom and values in his daughter Leia, prioritizing their happiness above all else. A loyal friend, Anky maintained lifelong friendships, serving as a beacon of support and encouragement to all who were fortunate enough to know him.

In addition to his personal virtues, he was distinguished by his honorable service as a Corporal from the United States Marine Corps. He was a man of faith, whose strong devotion provided guidance through life's challenges, influencing all who met him.

He is survived by his beloved wife Christina, their daughter Leia, his sister, Thien-ai Hartop, wife of Kevin Hartop of NH, and his nieces, Ava, Evie, Isla, and Lily.
