Sok Chanthachit (Phou Tu Sok)

Mr. Sok Chanthachit died in Sanford, Florida on April 27, 2025. He was very blessed to celebrate his 102nd birthday.

Mr. Sok is survived by his 7 children: Tom Bounlap, Kim Thammavong, Von Douangdara, Kay Keopaseut, Dawn Pungkeo, Sue Gutierrez, Cindy Bounlap , 14 grandchildren and 7 great grandkids.

Dad was more than a father—he was our teacher, protector, and greatest supporter. He showed us by example what it means to work hard, love deeply, and live with integrity. His laughter filled our home, and his wisdom guided us through life’s toughest challenges.

He had a special way of making everyone feel important, whether through a warm smile, a helping hand, or a quiet presence in times of need. Dad’s love for spoiling his grandchildren, and giving his unconditional love is something we will treasure forever. He devoted his life to become a monk after our mom’s passing. This provided him the opportunity to be surrounded by and to serve others for over 20 years. He had a deep love for his family, friends and community and will be remembered by everyone for his kindness and compassion.

We will miss his stories, his advice, and the comfort of simply being near him. His memory will live on in our hearts and in the values he passed down to us.

The family thanks the caregivers and staff at Vitas Hospice for their care and kindness.

Rest easy, Dad. We will carry you with us always.
